Purpose of Corrective Action
When a school is identified for Corrective Action, this means that:• The school has not made adequate yearly
progress (AYP) for four years.• Increased LEA support and technical assistance to
the school is needed.• Current school improvement strategies have not
been successful.• More intensive Corrective Actions are needed to
increase the likelihood that the school will make its AYP.

Context for Year 3 Planning
• Corrective Actions should match each school’s needs; it is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
• Consider how the LEA can better support the school’s efforts to improve student achievement.
• Examine community strengths and weaknesses in supporting student achievement.
• Select Corrective Action(s) in direct response to your school’s identified needs and incorporate them into the SPSA.

Where Do You Begin?
• Review PI Years 1 and 2 school and district responsibilities; it is important to learn from the past.
• Which component of the school’s SPSA were implemented and contributed to improving student achievement?
• Which components were not implemented or did not contribute to improving student achievement?
• What does the school need to do to move forward, and what data are needed to determine this?
• Engage in a systematic process of inquiry.

Considering the Corrective Action Options
• Option 1: Replace the school staff who are relevant to the failure to make AYP.
• Option 2: Institute and fully implement a new curriculum, including providing appropriate professional development for all relevant staff.
• Option 3: Significantly decrease management authority at the school level.
(See CDE PI Year 3 Corrective Action Plan Document and Worksheets, pgs. 8-10)

A Recommended Protocol, Continued…
• Data sources you may wish to consider are:– Results of the Academic Program Survey (APS) or a
similar comprehensive needs assessment tool;– Classroom observations;– Discussions with teachers and students;– An analysis of the master schedule and professional
development schedule;– Student achievement data (e.g., curriculum-embedded
assessments, STAR test results, API, and AYP);– Staff, community, and parent input from various sources.
• Don’t be afraid to go where the data takes you!
Gary S. Thomas, Ed.D.Superintendent

16
A Recommended Protocol, Continued…
• Work with the other members of your team and any outside experts as you respond to each question.
• Discuss your responses and come to consensus over whether or not an option would be a relevant choice for the school.
• As you select Corrective Action options and build them into the SPSA, engage the entire school community in this process:
– Teachers– Parents– Students (when appropriate)– Community members, etc.

From Selection to Implementation
1. How does the SPSA need to be revised to incorporate Corrective Actions? Revise SPSA or write a Corrective Action addendum?
2. What personnel and resources will be needed to implement the Corrective Action?
3. How will responsibilities be assigned and scheduled on a timeline?
4. How can the District best support the school in implementing the Corrective Action(s)?
(Check for alignment of Corrective Action(s) with the LEA Plan goals.)

PI Process: The Big Picture
• Comprehensive needs assessment• Revision of LEA and School Plans that address
needs• Reallocation of resources (LEA and school) to
support the plans• Professional development and support for staff• Faithful implementation of revised plans• Ongoing monitoring, analysis, and support for
improvement plans
