District and School Program Improvement Exit Priorities

All schools are required to address the priorities (listed below) established in the District’s Program Improvement Local Education Agency Year 3—Corrective Action Plan. Schools may develop additional exit priorities and accompanying professional development, if needed.

1 Maximize the impact of core instruction for all students, including utilizing professional development time for collaborative lesson plan development and the developing of departmental common formative and summative assessments.

2 Identify using quantitative measures (CAHSEE, CST), students who fall into the three categories described by LAUSD “RTI2,” and establish professional development to address the academic and behavioral needs of the RTI2-identified students.

3 Develop a pull-out program in math and ELA (utilizing the Literacy and Math Coaches, and Intervention Support, Special Ed, Title I, and Bilingual Coordinators) to address specific subgroup instructional needs in regards to 10th grade CAHSEE performance.

4 Maintain continued focus on Chatsworth High School WASC 2009 Action Plan and Visiting Team recommendations.

District and School Program Improvement Professional Development Priorities

1 Provide professional development to assist local district and school site staff with full implementation of the District’s Framework for Response to Instruction and Intervention (RtI2).

2 Use data to ensure instruction is provided at the intensity necessary for all students to succeed.

3 Implement curriculum-based measures (i.e., Periodic Assessments, SOAR) to inform instruction and maximize student exposure to that instruction.

4

Title I and Title III professional development allocations must be used to support the training needed for teachers and paraprofessionals to implement the exit priorities.
