Funding Formula: Overview of Accountability Christine Swenson, Director Local Agency Systems Support September 26, 2013 CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Tom Torlakson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction The Formula • Includes supplemental funding for English Learners and low-income (EL/LI) students • Provides concentration funding for districts with higher EL/LI populations Spending Restrictions • Long-Term Requirements – Many existing categorical spending requirements removed • ¾ of the categorical programs eliminated • 14 categorical programs remain – Districts must ensure “proportionality” when spending EL/LI funds • SBE to promulgate regulations on or before January 31, 2014 Transparency and Accountability • Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAPs) – Set annual goals in eight specified areas (See next slide, excerpted from LAO report, July 29, 2013.) – Specify actions to be taken to achieve goals – Use SBE-adopted template • SBE required to adopt by March 31, 2014 Transparency and Accountability • State Priorities (EC 52060) Transparency and Accountability • LCAPs – Solicit input from various stakeholders in developing the plan – Adopted every three years and updated annually – Must be adopted by July 1 – County Office of Education (COE) must review and approve by October 8 Transparency and Accountability • LCAP process – Charter Schools – Adoption process different • Exempt from specific requirements to solicit public comment and hold public hearings • Assessment conducted by charter authorizer not COE Support and Intervention – COE to assess district’s performance – SBE to adopt three new rubrics by October 1, 2015 • Self Assessment Rubric (District) • Support Rubric (COE) • Intervention Rubric (SPI) Support and Intervention • Support for struggling districts – Required to receive additional support if: • LCAP not approved by COE • District requests assistance • District not improving student outcomes Support and Intervention • Three forms of support – COE review of strengths and weaknesses – Academic Expert – COE to request the SPI assign new agency, California Collaborative for Educational Excellence (CCEE) • SPI can intervene in select cases Support and Intervention • Support – Charter Schools – Not required to receive support – Charter can be revoked, instead of SPI intervention Major Milestones • Regulations to be developed by SBE – January 31, 2014 (Supplemental and Concentration funds) – March 31, 2014 (LCAP Templates) – October 1, 2015 (Rubrics) • Organization of CCEE still needs to be

The CA ELD Standards Implementation Plan is posted online at: http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/el/er/eldstandards.asp Purposes of the ELD Implementation Plan • Integrates the new California English Language Development (CA ELD) Standards into the public school system. • Parallels the California Common Core State Standards (CA CCSS) Implementation Plan in structure with specificity for ELD. • Details the English language development standards implementation, ongoing and future, activities. • Serves as a guidance tool for local educational agencies (LEAs) by providing a structure to emulate when developing their own implementation plans. Phases of Implementation The plan identifies three major implementation phases that parallel the CA CCSS • The Awareness Phase – is an introduction to and builds familiarity with the shifts to 2012 English Language Development standards • The Transition Phase – presents the need for professional development for all staff to learn about and begin implementation of the standards; align curriculum and assessments to the standards • The Implementation Phase – presents the need to identify and select materials, use standards to design and implement lessons, assess students/assess implementation Guiding Strategies The seven guiding strategies in the CA ELD Standards implementation plan provide the structural framework for activities and mirrors the CA CCSS Implementation Plan: 1. Facilitate high quality professional learning opportunities for educators. 2. Provide CA ELD Standards-aligned instructional resources. 3. Develop and transition to CA ELD Standards-aligned assessment systems. 4. Collaborate with parents, guardians, and the early childhood and extended learning communities. 5. Collaborate with the postsecondary and business communities as well as additional stakeholders. 6. Seek, create, and disseminate resources. 7. Design and establish systems of effective communication among stakeholders. Guiding Strategy 1 Facilitate high quality professional learning opportunities for educators • Professional Learning Modules (PLMs) for CCSS are developed and posted. These will be reviewed and updated with ELD. They will include instructional guidance on recognizing and taking advantage of opportunities to support ELs in the all content areas. • Two ELD PLMs are currently in development by WestEd PLM-A: Provides an introduction to understanding and using the CA ELD Standards to ensure English learner (EL) students have access to the CCSS for ELA/Literacy. PLM-B: Focuses on using the CA ELD Standards in tandem with the CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy during mainstream content instruction, and using the CA ELD Standards as the focal standards for designated ELD instruction. Guiding Strategy 2 Provide CA ELD Standards-aligned instructional resources • Develop a list of supplemental instructional materials for kindergarten through grade eight (K-8) that provide a bridge from the CA ELD Standards to the CA CCSS ELA/Literacy for the SBE to approve by June 30, 2014. (AB 1719Fuentes). • Develop the CA ELD /CA CCSS ELA/Literacy Curriculum Framework which includes instructional guidance for programs for English learners including ELD –The ELA/ELD Framework will include criteria for developing and evaluating instruction materials aligned to both ELD and CCSS ELA/Literacy standards. –Provide a timeline for ELD/ELA aligned instructional materials adoption. Guiding Strategy 3 Develop and transition to CA ELD Standards-aligned assessment systems. • The CELDT program will be analyzed and recommendations made for the alignment of the ELD standards with the assessment of the standards • Local educational agencies (LEAs) must continue to administer the CELDT as the state’s measure of English Language Proficiency for federal accountability under Title III of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Guiding Strategy 4 Collaborate with parents, guardians, and the early childhood and extended learning communities. • • • • Develop and disseminate tools that provide families with information about the new standards (CCSS and ELD). California Infant/Toddler Learning and Development Foundations and the California Preschool Learning Foundation are designed to be aligned to the ELA/ELD curriculum framework (2014) and include ELD foundations for preschool-aged children. The CDE will continue to collaborate with the early childhood community to promote the use of these documents. Develop and provide technical assistance to inform parents and guardians about how they can be involved in the education of their children and be active participants in assisting their children to meet the CA ELD Standards. Support professional learning for parents, guardians, and early childhood learning and integrate the CA ELD Standards into programs and activities beyond the K–12 school setting. Guiding Strategy 5 Collaborate with the postsecondary and business communities as well as additional stakeholders. • To ensure that every student has the skills needed to succeed in career and college. • To enable students to be prepared to transition from high school to a successful postsecondary education and/or a career. • To provide resources for successful transition to college and career. Guiding Strategy 6 Seek, create, and disseminate resources. • Identify state and federal funds currently available for use for implementation of the CA ELD Standards • Establish fiscal boundaries and timelines for the use of specific programmatic resources • Seek funding from the United States Department of Education and private educational foundations to support CA ELD Standards implementation efforts • Seek funding from state government to support implementation efforts • Review current and proposed laws related to all programs requiring CA ELD Standards implementation activities • Collaborate and work with other state level directors responsible for the development and dissemination of ELD Standards. Guiding Strategy 7 Design and establish systems of effective communication among stakeholders. • • • • Utilize existing communication networks to facilitate two-way communications regarding CA ELD Standards implementation (2013) Utilize existing communication structures to apprise stakeholders of California’s ELD Standards implementation activities Conduct needs assessment to identify communication preferences of stakeholders Develop and use existing correspondence systems to disseminate news releases, media advisories, speeches, and events to apprise stakeholders of CA ELD Standards implementation activities. Appendices The implementation plan also includes appendices that provide resources to support LEAs through the phases of the implementation process: • Appendix A: Local CA ELD Standards Implementation Plan Template –Suggested activities for coming Fall include: needs assessment for priorities at district and site level, support for working in grade level teams and use of ELD Professional Learning Modules and other tools. • Appendix B: County Office of Education Service Offerings –Guidance includes working with Title III Regional Leads and EL and Bilingual Coordinators to collaborate with peers in leading professional learning. • Appendix C: California Implementation Partners –Organizations CDE is currently working with directly and those identified for further outreach, this list is ongoing and can be expanded based on input and practice.
