LCRSET Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycles

The Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle is at the heart of successful implementation of Literacy Plan action steps in order to achieve your overall literacy goals for your students. You will engage in four PDSA cycles throughout the year with your site literacy teams to address a problem of practice identified in your Literacy Plan. 

During these collaborative sessions, you will go through the key steps of the PDSA process - planning a change idea and how to measure its success, implementing the change and collecting data, analyzing the results, and deciding whether to adopt, adapt, or abandon the idea based on your findings.

In addition to the PDSA work, you will have opportunities to network and learn from your peers across sites. By sharing successes, challenges, and strategies, you can collectively problem-solve and discover new approaches to drive continuous improvement in support of your literacy objectives.

By actively engaging in this iterative PDSA process and collaborative networking, you and your site literacy teams will develop the skills to effectively implement change and make data-driven decisions to support student literacy growth.

Strategies for Elementary Integrated and Designated ELD

How can teachers easily and effectively build language proficiency for their English learner/emergent bilingual students throughout their daily lessons? 

This interactive four-session series provides teachers with a construct and set of strategies that can be effectively integrated into existing lessons and practices. Aligned to Principle 2 of the English Learner Roadmap and the English Learner Toolkit of Strategies, participants will learn to effectively identify and address the strengths and needs of English learner/emergent bilingual students by providing targeted scaffolds and supports. Participants will develop strategies to actively engage students in all four language domains (listening, reading, speaking and writing), deepening students’ use of sophisticated academic language and tapping into their linguistic genius. Teachers will be prepared with tools and resources to implement in their classrooms.

Note: This event is geared toward elementary educators; however, the concepts could be valuable to secondary teachers and coaches seeking a deeper understanding of ELD.

Aligning LCAP and Community Schools: A Unified Approach to Support and Success

Please join the Capitol Area Regional Transformational Assistance Center (R-TAC) and the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) for a free, one-hour virtual session to understand how the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) process and Community Schools Initiative complement and support each other. The goal is to understand how these two district efforts can work together to create a comprehensive, coherent LCAP that reflects the needs of the community.

The LCAP is a statement of the district’s priorities and investments. Ideally, it brings seemingly distinct initiatives and projects together into one coherent description of the district’s vision and goals, informed by educational partners. Community Schools are very much part of this coherent approach - creating positive learning environments by ensuring that services and support for students, families and staff are available and aligned. Community School directors frequently convene families and students to share ideas and provide input at their school sites. They also coordinate and organize myriad districtwide and site-specific supports that are, or should be, part of the LCAP. 

In this session, you will gather information, collaborate with your district team and hear what other districts are doing.

Who should attend? LCAP writers, State & Federal programs directors, budget and finance staff, Community School directors and others whose input on Community Schools and the LCAP would be helpful.

Learn at Lunch- Facilitated by Artist and Activist Milton Bowens

Milton will start by conducting a brief brainstorm where he will articulate how guests can create a metaphor visually. He will explain how to take an issue related to teaching/education and break it down into the different aspects that constitute their topic. Bowens will refer to his painting and reference other examples from historical and first hand observations. Once everyone has identified a topic they want to explore, Bowens will guide participants in reviewing the materials available for creating a mixed media project. Basic classroom supplies will be provided, including colored pencils, markers, crayons, glue sticks, scissors, colored construction paper, and educational photocopies (clip art). Bowens will demonstrate how these materials interact and react when combined to form a cohesive composition. Additionally, he will highlight symbolic elements in his own paintings to inspire participants and help them infuse deeper meaning into their mixed media artwork. Bowen’s piece “Homework Assignment” belongs to the private collection of Mrs. Jasmin Martinez (SCOE Arts Integration Coordinator) and was a part of his highly acclaimed “Art of Education Collection” with works from the collection belonging to the collections of UC Davis, Laney College St. Hope Public Schools and McGorge School of Law. and various private collectors. This collection was also featured in the Sacramento Bee, Oakland Tribune and San Joaquin Valley Sun.

Graham Fletcher (Grades Tk-3)

As more teachers look to add high-yield tasks to their repertoire, the struggle to make it all work becomes real. Let's examine how problem-based lessons can be used throughout a unit and how we can harness their power to move student thinking forward. We'll identify strategies and explore tasks that help us find a healthy balance between application, conceptual understanding, and procedural fluency.

Participants will:

·      Engage in grade-appropriate modeling tasks and understand how the implementation of low-entry, high-scalability tasks can be used to reach all students.

·      Explore the use of 3-act tasks as a regular practice and identify when these lessons can be used throughout the scope of a unit.

·      Understand how 3-act tasks and problem-based lessons can be used within the instructional framework (opening, work session, close) and the purposeful moves to orchestrate an effective closing session.

·      Identify ways in which problem-based lessons can be used to monitor student growth.

·      Connect 3-Act Tasks to conceptual learning and application and identify how this approach is instrumental in developing procedural fluency.

Empowering Local Implementation: Training of Trainers Session for the English Learner Roadmap

This session is designed to equip COEs/District staff with the tools to engage site leaders across their districts in local planning to implement the English Learner Roadmap. The comprehensive reach of the EL Roadmap (across levels of the system and across functions and aspects of schooling) requires building shared meaning of the four Principles, collectively assessing current practices through the lens of those Principles, and setting local priorities.  This session will include an overview of the steps to local planning, sharing of tools and suggested activities to facilitate productive engagement, and case studies.  Participants will have an opportunity to begin to adapt templates and approaches to their own context.

The Local Planning Trainer of Trainer is a session we designed at the request of some of the anchor and partner counties that participated with EL RISE! during the 2020 EWIG. During the 2020 EWIG, EL RISE! facilitated Local Planning sessions (1-2 per year) with the six anchor LEAs to support their efforts to move the CA English Learner Roadmap. Each session engaged a TEAM of leaders and people from within the district with EL expertise and responsibility, and it was highly customized to meet the LEAs where they were and support their forward momentum. The sessions followed a set of planning steps that began with the following: 

(a) jointly constructing Journey Maps looking back on their district’s history of work to improve EL Education

(b) identification of key EL issues “on their plates” currently (including a look at their local data)

(c) crosswalking these issues/concerns and local efforts to the four principles of the EL Roadmap

(d) designing inquiries to build shared understanding of the status and issues in current practices

(e) considering strategic implementation approaches

(f) exploring steps for moving forward and action planning 

This Trainer of Trainers is designed to support County and District personnel TEAMS who are interested in supporting local LEA teams in a similar way. Ideally, the participants in this TOT will be already familiar with the EL Roadmap Principles and, ideally, also somewhat familiar with the types of resources embedded in the Administrator Toolkits. 

This is NOT a presentation that is meant to be replicated.  It is more of a guided sharing of planning steps/protocols and supports that can be used by each county and district in a customized way to facilitate the development of locally appropriate and locally designed implementation plans.  The Trainer of Trainer session will include an exploration of entry points, specific tools, and approaches for the local context.  

The expectation is that participants will take the basic protocol, approaches, and tools from the Trainer of Trainers and use them in customized work with Local LEA teams and in various ways in their roles as technical assistance providers to districts.

Audience: County Office Teams, District Office Teams, Charter System Teams (at minimum, two form the same LEA make a team)
