Action 2.5

Supplemental Academic Programs

Implement and integrate the diverse range of programs, including Acadiance, iReady, Read 180, Math 180, 95% Group, Renaissance Learning, AVID, Online Tutoring Services, Thinking Maps, Write From the Beginning, MobyMax, Lexia, Nearpod, Mystery Science, and Learning Plus, to provide tailored academic interventions and support services for low socioeconomically disadvantaged students, English learners, and foster youth. Additionally, expanding and enhancing professional development opportunities for these programs for teachers focused on English Language Development (ELD). This will involve providing substitute teachers to cover classroom duties, ensuring teachers have the time and resources to engage in meaningful professional learning experiences. Additionally, allocating funds for materials, supplies, and travel/conferences will enable teachers to access high-quality training and resources to enhance their ELD instruction skills through appropriate use of these supplemental academic programs. We believe this will strengthen/improve English Language Development instruction by equipping teachers with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to effectively support EL students in acquiring English language proficiency.

Metrics

The effectiveness of this action will be monitored through metrics such as program utilization rates, student academic progress, and teacher feedback. Program utilization rates will provide insight into the extent to which supplemental academic programs are being utilized by low socioeconomically disadvantaged students, English learners, and foster youth across the district. Additionally, monitoring student academic progress, as measured by assessments such as the CAASPP and iReady, STAR, and Acadience will enable us to assess the impact of these programs on student learning outcomes.
