Hello, I have a short presentation for everyone today on our local indicators every year We are required to self assess and self report our progress on the local indicators in alignment with our California school dashboard So on the next slide you can see the local indicators that we are required to present to you To to self assess and self report and present to you every year You can see they're in alignment with the state eight state priorities. However, there are only some the ones that
010we do not self assess or self report on our hard academic data our cast source our cost scores our science test scores and our ELPAC scores the rest we self assess and self report and then post on our California school dashboard So the first local indicator or basic services obviously we do a wonderful job We have an amazing HR department who be who ensures that our teachers are appropriately assigned and credentialed We have a wonderful M&O team to be sure that our our facilities stay in good repair all of our school sites are in good repair and then also our Our awesome ed services team of course make sure that all of our kids have access to the adopted curriculum and standards-aligned materials Our first local indicator second local indicator the first category in that
011was providing professional learning This is something that we do a lot We invest a lot of resources in all of our people in all of the core content areas to be sure that our teachers are equipped and our staff are equipped to Adequately teach and effectively teach all the core content areas We are still working on the next generation science standards. Of course as we just adopted a piloted and adopted our Curriculum in the elementary level and then looking forward to that with history and social science as well. You can see in the next The next are also the instructional materials again. We are still working on completely fully implementing our next generation science Elementary science program and then of course looking for new materials that we can adopt Potentially or use for history social
012science and the elementary level all of our middle schools have up-to-date Curriculums and have had up-to-date adoptions our next is around the I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm like, I'm wearing my notes. I apologize. I can't see that far. So this is where we look at our professional learning. I apologize again. It's got a little off guard there. This is something we invest a lot of time and resources to be sure that our teachers and our staff, again, have the opportunity to really engage in high-quality professional development. We have a lot of high-quality. collaboration as well at the school site so not only are we doing work at the district level and providing our teachers with excellent training or professional development but then also opportunities at their sites to then collaborate with their grade levels and
013look and really assess their progress and implementing those standards and teaching effectively. Our next is around parent engagement. This is something that's been a huge initiative for our district. We're very proud of the work that we do to engage all of our families at the site level, district level in decision making. So this local indicator really assesses the ways in which we engage our... parents would not only activities but really in the decision-making so we work really hard with our D lack our LCAP committees and our site committees to be sure that our parents voices are present in all of our decision-making as a district so we rated ourselves really high in this area on our next slide sorry I just got tripped up on one I could not read it so he's like really
014going slow so I'm like on our next slide and then on the other one I could I'm so sorry caught me there Well, you told me to go quick, Mark. So our last, our two last indicators are around school climate, where we're looking at really how our students really assess their feelings about school, how they connect at school, their relationships, and then also how they perceive school safety. So you can see here, this is an area that we were very concerned about when we looked at the CHIC survey, which really propelled, if you go into the next slide, Dr. Patterson, you can really, it propelled us to really look deeper at our LCAP survey. this year to really assess and kind of calibrate what we saw with the with this trick survey and our LCAP
015survey so that that number of I like coming to school every day or connectedness is definitely an area that we want to improve on this really catapulted our work in the coming year as we really launch our new school year in developing warm welcoming positive school climates where we can really foster relationships between adults with adults and students and students to students and being sure that our teachers feel very connected to our school and connected to our students and staff feel really connected to their school and students, but then students most importantly feel that way and feel as though they are excited and engaged in school. Then our last indicator is around access to a broad course of study This is where we have made a lot of progress as a district not only utilizing
016our LCAP funds our supplemental and concentration funds, but also additional monies provided by the state with ELOP and prop 28 to really enhance and boost our offerings both at the Middle school level in our electives But then also our broad course of study and after-school programs that we have available to all of our students and East Whittier Anybody have any questions?
