“Getting the job done” for our public
schools means setting high expectations to
get all students to a minimum of grade
level proficiency.
This will ensure they are ready for college
and/or ready for the workforce.
![Page 3: Improving Student Academic Achievement and Closing Achievement Gaps Bringing Improvement to Scale at All Grade Levels](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a7ed755034643688b55f2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The key starting point in improving California’s public schools is data.
Since our kids can’t wait years and because by its own admission, the CDE is years and tens of millions of dollars away from building a data system…
CBEE has partnered with Just for the Kids-CA

Now for the first time we have data to use as a tool to improve our schools.
And this is how we use the data to find out what is happening in our schools.
![Page 6: Improving Student Academic Achievement and Closing Achievement Gaps Bringing Improvement to Scale at All Grade Levels](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a7ed755034643688b55f2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
… we can make comparisons among look-a-like schools
![Page 7: Improving Student Academic Achievement and Closing Achievement Gaps Bringing Improvement to Scale at All Grade Levels](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a7ed755034643688b55f2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
… from there we can find higher performing, comparable schools
![Page 8: Improving Student Academic Achievement and Closing Achievement Gaps Bringing Improvement to Scale at All Grade Levels](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a7ed755034643688b55f2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
… we can measure improvement over time by each grade and subject
![Page 9: Improving Student Academic Achievement and Closing Achievement Gaps Bringing Improvement to Scale at All Grade Levels](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a7ed755034643688b55f2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
… we can measure strands of the CST and benchmark against higher performers
![Page 10: Improving Student Academic Achievement and Closing Achievement Gaps Bringing Improvement to Scale at All Grade Levels](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a7ed755034643688b55f2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
… we can measure achievement gap reduction over time
![Page 11: Improving Student Academic Achievement and Closing Achievement Gaps Bringing Improvement to Scale at All Grade Levels](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a7ed755034643688b55f2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
…we can see who is outperforming expectations

… we can benchmark across the district by school, grade and subject
![Page 13: Improving Student Academic Achievement and Closing Achievement Gaps Bringing Improvement to Scale at All Grade Levels](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a7ed755034643688b55f2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
…we can measure “college readiness” for high schools through CSU Early Assessment Program results
![Page 14: Improving Student Academic Achievement and Closing Achievement Gaps Bringing Improvement to Scale at All Grade Levels](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a7ed755034643688b55f2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
…and backward map performance on the CST for those who are proficient on the EAP

Data must be used to find and implement
best practices.
We find schools that look just like yours and
then connect you to them to learn from
their proven strategies…

a “Best Practices Network” and collection of research and examples of practices based upon “what works”
a way to find local and state high performing schools with the goal of visiting and learning from them

“Haven’t we already done this?”
“We use the state standards. They are clear. We trust our teachers enough not to have to
spell them out any more specifically.”
“There is ALWAYS work to be done to further understand and interpret the standards—especially in terms of the rigor and student
work expectations for each standard.”

…and then assuring that we have provided the necessary staff, tools, and resources for them to learn it, we must ask:

“How will we know if they have learned it?”

We can now find and recognize schools in every corner of the state that are
getting the job done.
Critical Elements for the Cycle of Improvement
![Page 34: Improving Student Academic Achievement and Closing Achievement Gaps Bringing Improvement to Scale at All Grade Levels](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a7ed755034643688b55f2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Recognizes public schools that are consistently raising
achievement and closing achievement gaps
CBEE/JFTK-CA Honor Roll
Provides these schools a voice to share their Best Practice so others
can replicate what works
![Page 36: Improving Student Academic Achievement and Closing Achievement Gaps Bringing Improvement to Scale at All Grade Levels](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a7ed755034643688b55f2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What if the practices in California’s schools should remain the same as they are today and the rate of improvement in our schools should not improve?
![Page 37: Improving Student Academic Achievement and Closing Achievement Gaps Bringing Improvement to Scale at All Grade Levels](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a7ed755034643688b55f2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The answer is…
![Page 38: Improving Student Academic Achievement and Closing Achievement Gaps Bringing Improvement to Scale at All Grade Levels](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a7ed755034643688b55f2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
But, what if the rest of the schools in the state adopted the Honor Roll best practices?
And, what would happen if all schools in the state experienced the same rate of improvement as the Honor Roll Schools?
![Page 39: Improving Student Academic Achievement and Closing Achievement Gaps Bringing Improvement to Scale at All Grade Levels](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a7ed755034643688b55f2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Our work now is to recognize those getting the job done and give them a voice to explain their best practices for others to copy.

Form “Teaching Hospital” partnerships with high performers
Place student teachers in STAR schools
Use data and best practices to dispel myths and provide solutions
