UCLA About this Resource This is part of a set of 7 power point sessions. For each session, there are also a package of handouts (online in PDF) that cover the material. Many of these handouts provide additional details on a given topic.

UCLA Feel free to use the power point slides and the handouts as is or by adapting them to advance efforts to develop a comprehensive system of learning supports.

UCLA Session Topics I.Why is a System of Learning Supports Imperative for School Improvement? II. What is a System of Learning Supports? An intervention perspective III. What is a System of Learning Supports? An infrastructure perspective

UCLA Session Topics IV. What is a System of Learning Supports? A policy perspective V.What’s Involved in Getting from Here to There? VI. Engaging and Re-engaging Students with an Emphasis on Intrinsic Motivation VII. Concluding Comments

UCLA Session IV What is a System of Learning Supports? A policy perspective

UCLA Topics Covered >Expanding School Improvement Policy to Encompass an Enabling or Learning Supports Component > Expanding School Accountability to Encompass an Enabling or Learning Supports Component

UCLA School systems are not responsible for meeting every need of their students. But... when the need directly affects learning, the school must meet the challenge. Carnegie Task Force on Education

UCLA The Council of Chief State School Officers has adopted the following as the organization’s mission statement: CCSSO, through leadership, advocacy, and service, assists chief state school officers and their organizations in achieving the vision of an American education system that enables all children to succeed in school, work, and life.

UCLA How Does School Improvement Policy and Practice Need to be Expanded?

UCLA A Brief Overview Schools and communities increasingly are being called on to meet the needs of all youngsters – including those experiencing behavior, learning, and emotional problems. The challenge for us all is to collaborate and maximize resources to strengthen young people, their families, and neighborhoods.

UCLA Currently, the situation is one where there is a considerable amount of promising activity, but it is implemented in fragmented and often highly competitive ways. Of even greater import is the fact that most of this activity is marginalized in policy and practice, especially at school sites.

UCLA The need is to enhance policy and practice based on a unifying framework that is comprehensive, multifaceted, and integrated.

UCLA For schools and communities, this means developing, over time, a full continuum of systemic interventions (not just integrated, school-linked services) that encompass the three intervention levels >systems for promoting healthy development and preventing problems >systems for responding to problems as soon after onset as is feasible >systems for providing intensive care

UCLA and, that encompasses content that >enhances classroom-based efforts to enable learning >provides support for transitions >provides prescribed student and family assistance >increases home involvement in schooling >responds to and prevents crises >outreaches to increase community involvement & support

UCLA Building all this requires fully integrating the above learning support frameworks into policy and practice for school improvement.

UCLA It also requires rethinking infrastructure at all levels.

UCLA and, financing all this requires (a) weaving together school-owned resources and (b) enhancing programs by integrating school and community resources

UCLA The end product will be a fundamental transformation of how the community and its schools address barriers to learning and enhance healthy development. And this should result in >better achievement for all, >a closing of the achievement gap, >schools being viewed as key hubs in their neighborhood.

UCLA Moving from a Two- to a Three-component Framework for School Improvement Current State of Affairs Direct Facilitation of Learning & Development Student & Family Assistance Besides offering a small amount of school- owned student "support“ services, schools outreach to the community to add a few school- based/linked services. Governance and Resource Management Instructional/ Developmental Component Management Component

UCLA Moving from a Two- to a Three-component Framework for School Improvement Moving toward a Comprehensive System of Learning Supports Direct Facilitation of Learning & Development Addressing Barriers to Learning Instructional/ Developmental Component Learning Supports Component Management Component Governance and Resource Management

UCLA Governance and Resource Management (Management Component) Policy Umbrella for School Improvement Planning Related to Addressing Barriers to Learning Addressing Barriers to Learning/Teaching (Enabling or Learning Supports Component) Direct Facilitation of Learning (Instructional Component) Examples of Initiatives, programs and services that belong under the umbrella >positive behavioral supports >programs for safe and drug free schools >bi-lingual, cultural, and other diversity programs >compensatory education programs >family engagement programs >special education programs >mandates stemming from the No Child Left Behind Act & other federal programs

UCLA Expanding the Framework for School Accountability to Encompass an Enabling or Learning Supports Component Indicators of Positive Learning and Development High Standards for Academics >measures of cognitive achievements High Standards for Learning/Development Related to Social & Personal Functioning >measures of engagement and social emotional learning "Community Report Cards" >increases in positive indicators >decreases in negative indicators Benchmark Indicators of Progress in Addressing Barriers & (Re-)engaging Students in Classroom Learning High Standards for Enabling Learning and Development >measures of effectiveness in addressing barriers, such as >increased attendance & family involvement >reduced tardies & misbehavior and bullying >fewer inappropriate referrals for specialized assistance & special education >fewer suspensions & dropouts

UCLA Study Question To what degree does the current policy and practice framework for student/learning supports marginalize the work and contribute to ad hoc and fragmented planning and development?

UCLA Activity Analyze current school improvement guidelines to clarify what is and isn’t included to address barriers to learning and teaching. How marginalized and fragmented is the focus on student/learning supports?
