The pursuit of education is a shared responsibility that begins at home and continues with the guidance st and support of parent, school, and community mentors. It takes the whole “village” to raise a 21 Century child. Our common vision comes from diverse perspectives. By working together for the future of our children, the district and the community of Santa Paula can enable our young people to reach their greatest st potential as individuals and as citizens of a 21 Century world.

Bedell Elementary School Single Plan for Student Achievement October 2013 Student Enrollment by Subgroup Data Source: 2012-13 STAR Student Demographic Profiles Highly Qualified Teachers During the 2012-13 school year, 100% of Thelma B. Bedell Elementary School’s classes were taught by highly qualified teachers. The Santa Paula Unified School District and its governing board “desires to employ the most highly qualified and appropriate person available for each open position in order to improve student achievement and efficiency in district operations. The Superintendent or designee shall recruit candidates for open positions based on an assessment of the district's needs for specific skills, knowledge and abilities. Santa Paula Unified School District is not considered a high-need district in regards to acquisition of high quality, highly-qualified teachers; therefore its schools do not qualify as “high-need” schools. A “high need local educational agency” is defined (NCLB, Public Law 107–110) as: that serves not fewer than 10,000 children from families with incomes below the poverty line; or ‘‘(ii) for which not less than 20 percent of the children served by the agency are from families with incomes below the poverty line; and for which there is a high percentage of teachers not teaching in the academic subjects or grade levels that the teachers were trained to teach; or ‘‘(ii) for which there is a high percentage of teachers with emergency, provisional, or temporary certification or licensing. Based upon the most current data available (2010 U.S. Census Bureau), the district’s estimated percentage of student population of children ages 5-17 living in poverty is 21.4%. However, there are currently no teachers working out of field, on an emergency provision, or temporary certification or licensing. The Santa Paula Unified School District’s Human Resources Division is responsible, in partnership with Thelma B. Bedell Elementary School’s administrative team, for recruiting and placing qualified teachers in the classroom. To date, the district only employs highly qualified teachers to fill vacant teaching positions. When a vacancy exists, teaching positions are posted on EdJoin.org. All applicants must have the following to apply: Valid California Credential (with authorization to teach in applicable area) Resume Two Letters of Recommendation English Learner Authorization/CLAD Certificate NCLB compliant 8 Thelma B. Bedell Elementary School Single Plan for Student Achievement October 2013 The Ventura County Office of Education (VCOE) conducts a review of teaching assignments for schools in Deciles 1-3 on an annual basis; any irregularities noted are corrected immediately by the Human Resources Division. Program Improvement School Thelma B. Bedell Elementary School is currently in Year 1 of Title I Program Improvement. At the beginning of each school year, parents are notified in writing and in an understandable language of the school’s identification as a PI school based upon the state’s most recent accountability cycle. Parents may be given the opportunity to transfer their child to another school within the district that is not a PI school. Comprehensive Needs Assessment Thelma B. Bedell Elementary School completed a comprehensive needs assessment survey of all students enrolled, including migratory students, which included the analysis of student performance in relation to the state academic content standards. During staff development activities and staff meetings, school administrators and the leadership team considered the results of the following to identify areas of strength and weakness: Academic Program Survey Analysis of Student Performance Data: o AYP reports o API Reports o STAR Reports o LEA Accountability Reports of AMAOs o OARS reports o CELDT Reports o Teacher Feedback Conclusions from the needs assessment survey were used to identify SPSA goals and program support goals. 9 Thelma B.

Bedell Elementary School Single Plan for Student Achievement October 2013 Nutrition Programs & Fitness Programs Santa Paula Unified School District’s Wellness Program is currently under review and revision. The current curriculum was adopted by the Santa Paula Elementary School District in June 2006 and contains four components: nutrition education, physical activity, health services, and other school-based activities that are designed to promote student wellness. The original policy was developed to provide school environments that enhance learning and encourage the development of lifelong wellness practices. The district anticipates the adoption of the updated policy in December 2013. The Wellness Policy is available on the district’s website at http://www.schoolnutritionandfitness.com/schools/spesd_0802121854479169/WellnessPolicy.pdf. The district offers a variety of free and reduce-meal programs through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), Especially Needy Breakfast Program (SNBP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), Meal Supplement Program (Snacks), and the Child Care Program (CCAFP).

Describe how this goal aligns to the district’s LEA Plan goals: Our goal is closely aligned to our district Local Educational Agency Plan (LEAP) by moving students up a minimum of one performance band each year and to meet the CDE/NCLB proficient percentages for all subgroups as measured on the CELDT in 2012-2013 school year. What data was used to form this goal: CELDT scores CSTs Trimester assessments Individuals Involved in analyzing data and formulating goal: Teaching staff Site Leadership Team School Site Council What did the analysis of the data reveal that led to this goal: Our EL students population did not meet the CDE/NCLB criteria of moving a minimum of one performance band per year in English/Language Arts and Math. Identify targeted student groups and expected growth: All English Language Learners (EL) in grade Kindergarten through fifth grade. The percent of EL students gaining proficiency towards English acquisition will increase by 15% as measured by the 2013 CELDT scores. All English Learners will move up a minimum of one California English Language Development Test (CELDT) level each year. What data will be collected to measure student achievement? Student data will be disaggregated by: Grade level Economically Disadvantaged Designation Special Education students Instructional setting: English mainstream, English structured immersion CELDT scores CST’s Data from the previous year’s assessments will be used to compare and access growth Identify the process for monitoring and evaluating collected data: California English Language Development Test (CELDT) California Standardized Test (CST) in English Language Arts and Mathematics California Modified Assessment (CMA) McGraw/Hill Unit Assessments SPESD Trimester Assessments Describe the actions to improve achievement to exit program improvement (if applicable): The staff at Bedell will continue to provide additional support to EL students that fail to meet sufficient progress. Targeted activities during ELD time as well as tier 2 interventions will be used to support their progress toward making the necessary growth toward English acquisition.

Bedell Elementary School Single Plan for Student Achievement October 2013 Goal #4: Develop a Positive School Climate – Together the Bedell staff, parents, students, and community will work to create an environment where all students have an equal opportunity to reach their highest potential. The Bedell staff will create a Professional learning Community that uses the most current materials and practices and assessments to provide the most effective learning program. All school staff members will use school-wide and classroom positive behavioral support (PBS) to help students achieve important social and learning outcomes. Describe how this goal aligns to the district’s LEA Plan goals: SPESD’s plan states that it will develop or adopt a district-wide positive behavior plan that includes a consistently enforced dress code and anti-bullying program. What data was used to form this goal: CST results for Language Arts, Math, and Science Formative assessment results from 2012-13 school year Summative – Trimester benchmark assessments Office referrals for student and parent behavior concerns Parent Permission Slips for Counseling Services Parent Volunteer Questionnaire Individuals Involved in analyzing data and formulating goal: Students Teachers and Support Staff Parents Site Leadership Team School Site Council Members School Counselor What did the analysis of the data reveal that led to this goal: Changes in the process for suspensions for disruption in the classroom make it difficult to compare data from one year to the next. Neither the Health Kids Survey nor parent surveys were administered during the 2012-13 school year however antidotal information from parent comments, School Site Council and Parent Group meetings would suggest that even though some positive progress has been made in the learning environment additional activities and opportunities need to be implemented to improve participation by parents and family in the education process. Identify targeted student groups and expected growth: All Bedell students will be included. We should see a decrease number of office referrals for incidents of classroom disruption and bullying. Additionally, would expect an increase in the perception of safety in the school environment as reported by parent and student surveys. Students that received counseling services showed improvement in performance and a decrease in disruptive behavior that required a referral to the office. What data will be collected to measure student achievement? CST scores Trimester data Behavior referral data Healthy Kids Survey Report data from school psychologist, counselor, and staff Identify the process for monitoring and evaluating collected data: Annual student and parent surveys Suspension data Healthy Kids Survey Report On-going feedback from students and parents Observations by staff, counselor, school psychologist 25 Thelma B. Bedell Elementary School Single Plan for Student Achievement October 2013 Describe the actions to improve achievement to exit program improvement (if applicable): Bedell School staff will continue to implement strategies and activities that promote a positive school climate. Additional professional development sessions will be scheduled to support the implementation of Positive Behavior and Intervention methods both in and out of the classroom. Additional meetings will be scheduled throughout the year to increase parent participation in the educational process. A base line survey will be administered during the 2013-14 school year. Regular and consistent use of the behavior module in the district data base will allow for more accurate analysis behavior concerns. This data can then be used to direct the funding for support programs.
