2 Presented by Jeff Breshears, Director Local Agency Systems Support California Department of Education Jason Willis, Director Strategy and Performance WestEd 2

3 Goals Understand the background related to the development of the Local Indicators Identify process for stakeholder engagement, governing board adoption of the local indicators Consider opportunities to respond to results from the local indicators Learn about the Dashboard Local Indicator interface 3

4 Background LOCAL INDICATORS 4

5 Definition: Local Indicator For LCFF priorities where data is not collected at the state level, LEAs will measure and report on their progress through the Dashboard based on locally collected data. 5

6 Why Local Indicators Reflects the emphasis on local control LEAs measure priorities that are oriented more to implementation measurement rather than summative outcome Important for the local community to understand the holistic picture of a LEAs progress 6

8 State versus Local Performance State Local Met Not Met Performance determined by state based on reference charts Not Met for Two or More Years Performance determined by LEA based on statecreated standards 8

9 Applicability of Local Indicators Local indicators apply only to LEAs which are defined by LCFF as: School districts County offices of education Charter schools Indicators, including local indicators, apply to charter schools for state accountability purposes only if underlying charter petition includes goals for that indicator. Note: Local indicators do not apply to individual schools. 9

10 Local Indicators ENGAGEMENT AND APPROVAL PROCESS 10

11 Performance Standards The State Board of Education approved standards for the local indicators that support LEAs in measuring and reporting their progress within the appropriate priority area. The approved standards require the LEA to: Annually measure its progress. Report the results at a regularly scheduled public meeting of the local governing board. Upload and publicly report results through the Dashboard. 11

12 Performance Levels The three performance levels for the local indicators are: Met Not Met Not Met for Two or More Years 12

13 Measuring Progress To demonstrate that the standard is met on a local indicator is based on whether the LEA collected and reported performance data for each local indicator. LEAs should review any actions or local data from within the current or prior school year that demonstrates the LEA has the data to respond to the appropriate local indicator 13

14 Reporting Results Prior to finalizing this information in the Dashboard, the information must be reported at a regularly scheduled district governing board meeting. Using the Dashboard Interface, LEAs can provide the results for the governing board to review Word format versions of the self-reflection tools for each local indicator are also available as part of the Quick Reference Guide for California's New Accountability System. 14

15 Uploading Data No deadline for uploading information during the field test: If the LEA completes the self-reflection tool and otherwise meets the standard for a local indicator, the Dashboard will show as Met. If the LEA does not complete the self-reflection tool for a local indicator, the Dashboard will show an N/A. Information submitted during the field test will carry over to the fall Dashboard release. 15

16 Uploading Data LEAs are strongly encouraged to use this functionality prior to the full implementation of the Dashboard in Beginning in , LEAs must complete the selfreflection tool in order to receive a Met rating. The deadline will be no sooner than December 1,

17 Local Indicators RESPONDING TO RESULTS 17

18 Local Indicator Results: Evaluation Consider using basic, continuous improvement steps. The mechanism of reporting local indicator results is one element of evaluation. Others may include: Gathering key, internal stakeholders to identify both strengths and weaknesses for the results Engaging external stakeholders to discuss results. 18

19 Local Indicator Results: Plan Leveraging insights from the evaluation phase, what planning processes exist that create opportunities to modify upcoming plans for implementation. Some examples include: LEA s LCAP review School-level strategy and planning for upcoming school year LEA-specific working groups addressing a topic related to the local indicator 19

20 Local Indicator Results: Plan Key Questions How might the LEA focus on just one of the local indicators to improve? Where does a local indicator compliment the focus of the LEA already? What stakeholders may have an interest in this subject? 20

21 Local Indicator Results: Implement With a plan in place, consider opportunities to monitor progress on the local indicators that can be incorporated into existing structures. It may be necessary to develop a new structure if one does not exist. 21

22 Role of the Dashboard Coordinator Related to the gathering and reporting of data, consider how the role as the Dashboard Coordinator can support the LEAs progress on the indicator. Identify opportunities to advance conversations from what do we have to report to how do we respond. Create structures that facilitate conversation across stakeholders 22

23 Question & Answer What questions or comments do you have about the content presented in the previous sections? What existing structures exist in your LEA to engage with key stakeholders in results of the local indicators? 23

24 Dashboard Interface 24

25 Priority 1: Basics Measure Progress Use locally available information, including data from the CDE s School Accountability Report Card (SARC), to measure progress and respond to the three prompts in the selfreflection tool included in the Dashboard: Teacher misassignments Student access to instructional material Conditions of school facilities 25

26 Priority 1: Basics 26

27 Priority 1: Basics Report Results Report the results at a regularly scheduled public meeting of the local governing board Upload and publicly report the results through the Dashboard In the future, for the districts using the CDE SARC template, data will automatically be incorporated into the Dashboard. Districts using a third party to prepare their SARC will need to manually submit the data. 27

28 Priority 2: Implementation of State Academic Standards Measure Progress Option 1 Narrative Summary Identify the locally selected measures or tools used to track progress. Briefly describe why the LEA chose the selected measures or tools. Summarize the LEA s progress in implementing state academic standards adopted by the SBE 28

29 Priority 2: Implementation of State Academic Standards (Option 1) 29

30 Priority 2: Implementation of State Academic Standards Measure Progress (continued) Option 2 Reflection Tool Complete the optional self-reflection tool included in the Dashboard Report Results Report the results at a regularly scheduled public meeting of the local governing board Upload and publicly report the results through the Dashboard 30

31 Priority 2: Implementation of State Academic Standards (Option 2) 31

32 Priority 3: Parent Engagement Measure Progress Option 1 Survey LEA annually administers a local survey to parents/guardians in at least one grade within each grade span the LEA serves, summarizes key findings related to: Parents/guardians input for school and district decision making; Promoting parental participation in programs; Why the LEA chose the selected survey and if the findings relate to the goals established for other LCFF priorities in the LCAP. 32

33 Priority 3: Parent Engagement (Option 1) 33

34 Priority 3: Parent Engagement Measure Progress (continued) Option 2 Summarize The LEA s progress on at least one measure relating to seeking input from parents/guardians in school and district decision making The LEA s progress on at least one measure related to promoting parental participation in programs; and Why the LEA chose the selected measures and whether the findings relate to goals established for other LCFF priorities in the LCAP 34

35 Priority 3: Parent Engagement (Option 2) 35

36 Priority 3: Parent Engagement Report Results Report the results at a regularly scheduled public meeting of the local governing board Upload and publicly report the results through the Dashboard 36

37 Priority 6: School Climate Measure Progress Based on the administration of a local climate survey, provide a narrative summary and analysis of student perceptions of school safety and connectedness Report Results Report the results at a regularly scheduled public meeting of the local governing board Upload and publicly report the results through the Dashboard 37

Detailed information (i.e., narrative, survey responses, etc.) will be available in the Detailed Reports. For this reason, the narrative will be limited to 3,000 characters (1,500 characters for the optional box). 45
