Local Control Accountability Plan

undefined The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is a three year plan to increase or improve services for unduplicated pupils in proportion to the increase in funds apportioned on the basis of the number and concentration of unduplicated pupils. Each district by July 1st must adopt an LCAP based on a template adopted by the State Board of Education (SBE). The LCAP describes goals, as well as actions to be taken to achieve those goals, related to specified state priorities for all student and subgroups. The LCAP must be linked to the LEA budget and updated annually.

Professional Learning Communities

A Professional Learning Community (PLC) is an ongoing process in which educators work collaboratively in repeated cycles of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the students they serve. The key to improved learning for students is continuous job-embedded learning for educators.

The attributes of a PLC include:

A Focus on Learning
A Collaborative Culture with a Focus on Learning for All
Collective Inquiry into Best Practice and Current Reality
Action Orientation: Learn by Doing
A Commitment to Continuous Improvement
Results Orientation

Our foundational purpose is to ensure high levels of learning for all. These four essential questions drive our staff in their daily work:

What do we want students to learn?
How will we know if they have learned it?
What will we do if they don't learn it? What interventions are in place to assist students who are experiencing difficulty?
What will we do if they already know it? What enrichments are in place for advanced students?

Having a shared mission, vision, values and goals allow the Mountain View School District to maintain a collaborative culture throughout our entire school system. Schools improve when teachers are given time and support to work together to refine essential students learning, develop common assessments for learning, analyze evidence of learning, and learn from one another.

Smarter Balanced Digital Library

In 2013, Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium developed the Digital Library of formative assessment tools and professional resources. The Digital Library includes a series of assessment literacy and exemplar instructional modules in English and math. In addition, the library will include professional learning and instructional materials contributed by teachers. The library is interactive, allowing users to rate materials and to share their expertise with educators across the state or across the country. Teachers can quickly search the Digital Library by criteria such as grade level, Common Core standards referenced, target student population, and much more.

Common Core State Standards

On August 2, 2010, the California State Board of Education (SBE) voted unanimously to adopt new standards for both mathematics and English-language arts. The new standards are rigorous, research-based, and designed to prepare every student for success in college and the workforce. The standards are internationally benchmarked to ensure that our students are able to compete with students around the globe.
