Purpose and Description

Briefly describe the purpose of this plan (Select from Schoolwide Program,
Comprehensive Support and Improvement, Targeted Support and Improvement, or
Additional Targeted Support and Improvement).
During the 2020-2021 school year, the school will utilize instituted Professional Learning
Community strategies of teacher collaboration on instruction, planning, materials, and student
needs; teachers will continuously assess and re-evaluate student needs and provide
intervention and support as necessary via school programs and technologies. There will be a
focus on a quality first instructional model that is used for all content areas and with all students.
The delivery of the quality instructional model should result in significant growth and academic
achievement, particularly in the area of math and language arts. District-wide local measures
will be utilized during the school year to monitor continued and adequate student progress
towards these goals.

Briefly describe the school’s plan for effectively meeting the ESSA requirements in
alignment with the Local Control and Accountability Plan and other federal, state, and
local programs.

To meet ESSA requirements Pomo offers quality first instruction and daily school-wide multi-
tiered responses to address more intense student academic and social-emotional needs. These
targeted responses work to support students on a more strategic approach, academically and
social-emotionally so every student progresses towards the academic goals and the social
emotion goals established in the site plan.

Stakeholder Involvement
How, when, and with whom did the school consult as part of the planning process for
this SPSA/Annual Review and Update?
Involvement Process for the SPSA and Annual Review and Update
The school consulted with a committee of parents, teachers, classified employees, and
administration (known as a School Site Council) to plan for SPSA. Upon agreeing how to
prioritize, spending the Title 1 money the SPSA was written and shared out again with the SSC

School Plan for Student Achievement| Page 1 of 4

team. These meetings took place over the month of September to appropriately plan and
review the SPSA.

Resource Inequities
Briefly identify and describe any resource inequities identified as a result of the required
needs assessment, as applicable.
Based on 2018-2019 CAASPP results and based on the 2019-2020 local measures,inequities
exist in academics and suspension rates for English Language LEarners and students with
disabilities. Both of these groups did not achieve and/or make progress at the same level as the
other student groups.

Review
Complete a copy of the Goal table for each of the school’s goals. Duplicate the table as
needed.

Goal 1
LCAP Goal I: Engaging Teaching and Learning for all students
To provide all students an engaging curriculum, high quality staff and learning
experiences. Student achievement score will increase by 10% in grades 3-7 in math
and ELA as determined by the CAASPP.
School Goal 1a: English Language Arts:
For the 2020-2021 School year, the proficiency on CAASPP assessment for ELA will
improve by 5% or more from the 2018-2019 school year. Overall met or exceeded
percentage will increase from 14.6% to 20%.
School Goal 1b: Math:
For the 2019-2020 school year. The proficiency on the CAASPP assessment for math
will improve by 5% or more from the 2018-2019 school year. Overall met or exceeded
percentage will increase from 6.6% to 11.6%.
School Goal 1c: Engaging Teaching and Learning for all ELL students:
For the 2019-2020 school year, ELL students will make 5 % growth overall on the
CAASPP as compared to the 2018-2019 school year CAASPP assessment scores.

Identified Need

Based on the CAASPP data from 2018-2019 we still need to focus on our overall growth
in ELA and Math to achieve at the state expected level and to ensure our students will
be College and Career ready. We also need to focus on our ELL students as their
growth and proficiency was not that of other students.

Annual Review
SPSA Year Reviewed: 2019-2020
Respond to the following prompts relative to this goal. If the school is in the first year of
implementing the goal, an analysis is not required and this section may be deleted.

ANALYSIS
Describe the overall implementation of the strategies/activities and the overall
effectiveness of the strategies/activities to achieve the articulated goal.

The reading support program and the paraprofessional support proved to be effective
showing increases in reading achievement.The online math resources did not appear to
be effective as Pomo showed a slight decrease in Math scores and the substitute
teacher that was to be used to support teacher professional development never
materialized due to lack of qualified substitute teachers in the county.

Briefly describe any major differences between the intended implementation and/or the
budgeted expenditures to implement the strategies/activities to meet the articulated
goal.

There was no major difference between intended budgeting and implementation.

Describe any changes that will be made to this goal, the annual outcomes, metrics, or
strategies/activities to achieve this goal as a result of this analysis. Identify where those
changes can be found in the SPSA.

Due to the success of the reading program and the additional paraprofessional support
we will continue to implement these goals. We will add additional focus to our ELL
population as well as adding Symphony Math as an online math resource to address
the decline in math scores.
