The Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) is a plan of actions to raise the academic performance of all students to the level of performance goals established under the California Academic Performance Index. California Education Code sections 41507, 41572, and 64001 and the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) require each school to consolidate all school plans for programs funded through the School and Library Improvement Block Grant, the Pupil Retention Block Grant, the Consolidated Application, and NCLB Program Improvement into the Single Plan for Student Achievement.

Ia. School Overview: School Vision and Mission

In 1998, Vanden High School’s students, staff, parents and community members agreed upon the mission of Vanden High School. We are a community building personal and academic excellence, civic responsibility, and lifelong learning. The core values that bind Vanden together are integrity, caring, creativity, mutual respect and a code for communication.

Based on this mission, the stakeholders at Vanden endured a lengthy process to determine expected schoolwide learning results (ESLR’s) that best demonstrated our mission and core values. Vanden High School’s ESLR’s are:

Personal Growth – Students who…  set goals and develop strategies to achieve them  become aware of individual strengths and values  acquire knowledge of the aspects of a healthy lifestyle – mental, emotional, social and physical

Academic Proficiency – Students who…  acquire and apply core knowledge  communicate effectively using a variety of modes  utilize technology effectively, appropriately and responsibly  evaluate and appreciate the arts – visual art, dance, music, theatre and literature – from a variety of cultures

Community Responsibility – Students who…  respect diversity and common values  are involved citizens in a democratic society  demonstrate responsibility and accountability

Employability – Students who…  work with others  understand the correlation between school and future opportunities

III. Common Trends from 2013 Academic/Assessment Data

1. The numbers of students testing in General Math sharply decreased from 171 to 108, while the percentage of students advanced or proficient in Algebra increased by 2%. 2. All subgroups showed a dip in overall achievement with African American students showing the least decline. 3. CAHSEE proficiency rates increased in nearly every subgroup in mathematics, while it dropped in nearly every subgroup in ELA 4. Grade 10 ELA had statistically significant drops when compared with grades 9 and 11 with 120 students dropping one or more levels. 5. While math scores rose (as measured in CST’s), math achievement is still lower than that of all other tested areas. 6. The achievement gap between subgroups still exists. African American, Hispanic, EL students and Student with Disabilities do not achieve at the same rate of proficiency as Filipino and White students.

IV. Site Assessments

Vanden High School uses several assessments tools which are used to evaluate student learning.

ASSESSMENT TYPE PURPOSE TESTED GROUP WHEN COMMENTS Assess student Allows comparison State- mandated CST/CMA/CAPA achievement of state Grades 9 – 11 Spring between groups, grades criterion-referenced test standards and similar schools Students must pass this State- mandated test in English and Math Primary assessment used CAHSEE Grade 10 February each year criterion-referenced test in order to receive HS in AYP calculation diploma Measure English Used to assign language State- mandated CELDT language acquisition for Grades 9 – 12 Fall each year fluency and re-designate criterion-referenced test English learners fluent students.

Form A: Planned Improvements in Student Performance The School Site Council (Leadership Team) has analyzed the academic performance of all student groups and has considered the effectiveness of key elements of the instructional program for students failing to meet API and AYP growth targets. As a result, it has adopted the following school goals, related actions, and expenditures to raise the academic performance of student groups not meeting state standards:

Area for Improvement: Improve student academic achievement in core curricula Goal 1: All subgroups will meet API growth targets and maintain schoolwide API at 800 or above using new API measurement standards as designated by the CDE. In addition, we will continue towork to reduce and eliminate the achievement gap between subgroups. Rationale: Not all subgroups have achieved an API of 800. Though there has been progress in reducing the achievement gap, it is still observable in API scores, most CST scores and the completion of UC/CSU required courses. This goal aligns with Travis USD LEAP goal # 1 and #3 to improve student performance in math and ELA. (Note: We do not know what the new API standards will be, but we hope to close the achievement gap overall – and therefore affect improvement in new API standards. GrowthTargets:  15% AP enrollment by African American Students  Improvement in CAHSEE proficiency rates by subgroups by 5 percentage points  Movement to 840 on current new API standards when known ESLRs: Academic Proficiency, Employability Person(s) Funding Tasks Timeline Assessment/Evidence Resources Expenditures Cost Responsible Source Continue annual update on Pacing guides Department-wide Action Plans developed for courses in Common planning time started in 2011-12 including Dept.

Area for Improvement: Structural support for struggling students Goal 6: Improve performance for underperforming populations, and reduce students who are credit deficient. Rationale: We continue to have a population of struggling students whose needs are not being met. Growth Target: Decrease F-rate of students by 10% as compared with 2012-13 School Year – as defined by students with one or more Fs Increase opportunities of support within a student’s school day to target struggling populations Increased Communication to parents of struggling students ESLRs: Academic Proficiency Person(s) Funding Source Tasks Timeline Assessment Resources Expenditures Cost Responsible Principal Reduction in 9th grade failure Possible Implement 9th grade rate. increase in Support Structure Leadership Beginning 1/5 – 2/5 Period allotment N/A period through Master Fall 2013 Decrease in # of 9th grade FTE from District allotment Schedule students who receive less from district than 60 credits Reduction in student failure Possible rate in math. increase in Implement math Benchmark tests / Beginning N/A period 1/5 FTE DoDEA Grant support classes CST’s Fall 2013 Increase in student allotment achievement as measured by from district benchmarks and CST’s

Area for Improvement: Student and teacher access to updated instructional technology Goal 5: Improve student, teacher and class access to current instructional technology and increase professional development opportunities for its use, and prepare for implementation of the Common Core. Rationale: As the school moves to embrace the Common Core standards, our technology needs will accelerate – requiring that we have a plan to meet those needs. Additionally, many teachers are using different platforms, operating systems and program versions, making it difficult to “talk” with technology. Finally, access to needed resources is often limited and or unwieldly. Growth Target: Increase # of classrooms with updated technology Increase technology-integrated instruction Facilitate ease with which teachers access needed technology resources.
