LCAP DEVELOPMENT LCAP Stakeholder Engagement is nearing completion. There have been a total of 32 LCAP Stakeholder Engagement Meetings held with parents, ELACs, School Site Councils, Students, Faculty and other groups. We thank the Principals, School Site, and District Office Staff who have worked diligently to facilitate these meetings. The District LCAP Survey has received over 1,300 responses from parents, students and staff and community members.

LCAP Goal 6 Student Subgroups Development

LCAP Goal 3 Safety Development

This week the LCAP Development Process continued with meetings around specific LCAP goals. The participants for each of the Goal meetings include District Office and School Site Staff, specific to each LCAP goal. In each of the meetings, a facilitated review of Stakeholder Input is conducted, with a detailed look at Engagement Meeting and Survey Data. The data is clustered into elements and converted into “takeaways” or implications for the 2018-2019 LCAP. Meetings held this week included Goal 6 - Student Subgroups on April 17, Goal Group 3 - School Safety and Goal Group 2 on April 19. The Goal Groups 1, 4 and 5 are schedule to meet next week.

Through sports, students get to showcase their skills and dignity as an athlete. This event also brings together communities to see and take part in the transformative power of sports. We all know the odds our athletes must overcome and the barriers they face every single day. We can see this at training events and competitions as our athletes push to beat their personal best -- and exceed them. Their stories and successes inspire us all.

COGNITIVE COACHING Last week, we engaged in Day 7, our penultimate training, of Cognitive Coaching with Consultant John Matich. Participants highlight VIPs (Very Important Point) that they have learned. • • • • •

I use Cognitive Coaching both professionally and personally. Melissa Armer, EL TOSA As a counselor, I use the protocols with my students. I have been more mindful about engaging them to take ownership in decision-making and goal-setting. Danelle Mercer, MSMS Counselor I have become a more active listener with teachers, students, and family. I have learned ways to encourage them to think about their concerns and to know that I do not have to try fixing the issue. Ramon Mora, EL TOSA A cognitive coaching problem-solving conversation offers a different mindset for addressing problems. It moves away from focusing on an existing state to bringing energy for moving toward a desired state. Eric Olsen, MSMS Principal Cognitive Coaching has helped me understand the value of questioning as a way of focusing on what the coachees want rather than on what I want for them, in other words to be less egocentric when supporting teachers. Carrie Sebora, Technology Learning Coach

Discovering gold in California’s schools Article by Carl Cohn

At the end of this summer, I plan to retire from the best job that I’ve ever had in education. What makes leading the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence, or CCEE, so special is the fact that we now have a new state agency that isn’t saddled with the usual bureaucratic, compliance and regulatory functions that often come with new state initiatives. We’ve been asked by the state, simply, to get “the right kind of help” to districts, charters and county offices of education. In covering the entire state, including those places that the media doesn’t often get to, I sometimes think our vantage point is the educational equivalent of the late Huell Howser’s long-running PBS program California’s Gold. He was always looking for examples of what makes our state a unique repository of the hopes and dreams of people who came here seeking new opportunities and a better life. There has been no surer example of imagining a better life than being privileged to observe first-hand what is going on in the schools and districts of our state. So many educators are hard at work creating a brighter future for all those kids who historically have been underserved. We at the Collaborative get to see that on a daily basis. One of the best and most inspirational examples is the brainchild of Fresno County Superintendent of Schools Jim Yovino. Kids Café, located in what was an abandoned storefront in a downtown mall, is a thriving restaurant business, run by the County Office of Education, that gives special needs students a shot at food preparation and customer service — skills that will help them find real-world jobs in an important industry. Changing the public’s perception about what students with disabilities are capable of doing is an important part of what Jim sees as his contribution to student success in his county.
