The LCAP Toolkit: Using Research-based Tools to Promote Equity for English Learners

DESCRIPTION

The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) Toolkit: Using research-based tools to promote equity for English Learners (LCAP Toolkit) is a resource for educators, families, and community members to ensure that the LCAP—the state’s public accountability mechanism— reflects how actions, services, programs, and resources are made visible to ensure equitable opportunities and outcomes for English Learners. The LCAP Toolkit consists of four parts that can be used together or independently. Part I presents information pertaining to policy, background, and LCAP Toolkit development. Part II introduces the English Learner Research-Aligned LCAP Rubrics. Part III offers four additional resources and tools that support the applied use of the rubrics by engaging EL-focused networks in developing, analyzing, and refining LCAP plans. Part IV appendices include references and resources.

Developing Learning Continuity and Attendance Plans that Embrace our English Learners: A Focus on Community & Family Engagement

DESCRIPTION

By September 30, districts are responsible for gaining stakeholder input and developing a Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (LCP) for the 2020-21 school year that addresses the needs of all pupils regarding the impacts of COVID-19, with specific attention to English Learners and increasing or improving EL services. What might a powerful LCP look like for English Learners, that heeds research and builds upon learning from experiences with distance learning last spring and creates deeper partnerships with families? What should educators and communities be thinking about and considering in planning to ensure English Learners are able to recoup learning loss and are not left further behind?

Californians Together staff will present the findings and recommendations from a review of COVID-19 Operations Written Reports. Dr. Laurie Olson will present and share a planning tool to align the LCP with the English Learner Roadmap, emphasizing the opportunities for parent engagement.

Learn about the Community Engagement Initiative and how to join Cohort II of our Peer Leading and Learning Networks. Attendees will also learn how to tap into resources and tools developed by Californians Together to support LEAs in developing more inclusive Learning Continuity and Attendance Plans.

What Educators and School Leaders Can Do NOW to Accelerate Learning

DESCRIPTION

Many schools are making decisive actions to accelerate learning, improve assessments, attendance, and better engage students. In partnership with Creative Leadership Solutions, CCEE is offering a FREE, three-part synchronous series that will focus on understanding, identifying, evaluating, and applying formative assessment practices to accelerate learning. In this session, participants will: 1) learn about effective practices with the greatest impact on student achievement, 2) identify barriers to improved practices, 3) evaluate alternative practices to accelerate learning, and 4) apply the learning to their individual contexts.

In addition to the synchronous sessions, Creative Leadership Solutions Associates will be available to provide follow-up support to participants to discuss and/or support the implementation of all learning by phone, email, or video conferencing.

REGISTER FOR UPCOMING SESSIONS

The global pandemic will continue to affect schools long after schools reopen. Changes will be required in schedules, student support, faculty support, state standards, and assessments. In this session, participants will: 1) learn about the new model of change leadership, 2) identify the failures of previous change leadership models, 3) evaluate alternative leadership practices, and 4) apply the new model of change leadership to their individual contexts.

The global pandemic has left in its wake traumatized students, families, and educators and fear has been the dominant emotion. The essence of fearless schools is the building of psychologically safe environments where students and educators can learn together, make mistakes with transparency, learn from those mistakes, and engage in consistent innovation, experimentation, and learning. In this session, participants will 1) learn about the impact of psychological safety on learning and leadership, 2) identify the barriers to psychological safety and fearless schools, 3) evaluate alternative practices that lead to or detract from fearless schools, and 4) apply the learning to their individual contexts.
