A written plan developed, monitored and evaluated by the School Site Council with input from advisory committees and/or stakeholders
Describes the school’s program and how resources will be used to meet the supplemental educational and related needs of participating students.
Requires SSC approval

5. Purpose of SPSA
Analyze Data and Identify School Needs
Identify Measurable Objectives
Implement Relevant, Evidence-Based Strategies
Monitor
Evaluate Effectiveness
1. To create a cycle of continuous improvement of student performance
2. To plan strategies/action steps to raise the academic performance of all students to the level of state achievement standards
3. To ensure all students succeed in reaching academic standards set by the State Board of Education

6. SPSA-BEFORE and NOW 2016-17 vs. 2017-18 SPSA

7. New Flexibility for SPSA Completion CHANGES FOR 2017-2018
There are 6 Goal Pages:
100% Graduation
English Language Arts
Mathematics
EL Programs
Culture & Climate
Socio-Emotional

8. EL Goal/Focus Areas CHANGES FOR 2017-2018
All schools receiving Title III funds must complete the English Learner Programs Goal page
If a school has been assigned a Title III Coach, this Goal page does not need to be completed, but “N/A” or “Not Applicable” needs to be indicated.
However, schools have the option of addressing only those Focus Areas they determine best meet EL students’ academic needs (based on data analysis). Schools are not required to address all Focus Areas on the EL Programs Goal page.

9. Culture and Climate Goal and Focus Areas CHANGES FOR 2017-2018
All schools must complete the Culture and Climate Goal page (Student, Staff, Parent, and Community Engagement) in its entirety
Must complete all Focus Areas
The information on this Goal page should align with the school’s Title I Parent Involvement Policy/PIP, as the PIP guides the school’s work to engage parents and to build parent capacity.

10. 100% Graduation; English Language Arts; Mathematics; Socio-Emotional Goals CHANGES FOR 2017-2018
Schools need to indicate key findings from the data analysis and identify underlying issues related to the key findings.
A school may choose to not address the Focus Areas for particular Goal page. If this is the case, then an explanation must be provided.
For the Goal pages that the school determines to be most effective in addressing students’ academic needs, the school must complete “Strategies/Actions and Tasks” for the Focus Area.

11. 100% Graduation; English Language Arts; Mathematics; Socio-Emotional CHANGES FOR 2017-2018
Schools are no longer required to address all Focus Areas
(but are free to do so)
Lesson Planning/Data Analysis/PD
Effective Classroom Instruction
Interventions
BUT: If addressing a Goal, then must complete Building Parent Capacity Focus

12. Revision To Question 1 Original Question 1:
After reviewing data (as marked above) describe any issues affecting the school’s graduation rate and their effect on significant subgroups.
Revision to Question 1:
List key findings related to 100% Graduation based on objective, factual data (e.g., student outcome data, observations, surveys, focus groups, etc.)
Identify the underlying issues related to key findings
If you are not addressing this Goal, explain why

13. Note Regarding New Question 3
If SSC decides that the Focus Areas in a specific Goal section
will not be addressed, possible explanations might include:
Students already meet California standards in this Goal area
Supplemental support and resources will be provided from a different program source, e.g., TSP funds
Due to limited resources, student needs can be more effectively addressed by focusing resources in a different Goal area
