The CA School Dashboard

PGUSD Board Update February 8, 2018

Matthew Binder Director of Educational Technology PGUSD

The Dashboard

“The California School Dashboard is a new website that parents/guardians, educators and the public can use to see how districts and schools are meeting the needs of California’s diverse student population based on the concise set of measures included in the new accountability system. The Dashboard will allow users to search by district or school.”

• California Department of Education

Key Aspects of the Dashboard

Multiple Measures: A quality education is more than a single test score. Emphasis on Equity: A focus on addressing disparities among student groups. Growth Model: Measuring progress over time (rather than attainment by target date). Local Decision Making: Supporting the local strategic planning process (LCAP)

The Indicators by Priority Area (State or Local)

Dashboard: Theory of Action

Gap Analysis Where are the gaps between student groups, schools? Root Causes Is it that we lack the right tools, the right skills, or both? Plan of Action

What are we going to do now (how is this articulated in the LCAP)?

The Goal: Closing achievement gaps between student groups.

Dashboard Structure

Schools and districts receive one of five color-coded performance levels on of the state indicators

Our Analysis

• A majority of our students (student groups) are performing higher on

multiple measures (both state and local indicators

• Two indicators are in need of greater attention: Suspension Rates

(grades K-12), Graduation Rate (grades 9-12)

• Identifiable gaps among student groups in two key state indicators

(e.g. Suspension Rates, Graduation Rate)

Our Response

• Refine actions/services to better address performnace gaps for

identified student groups (in School Site Plans and in the district’s LCAP).

• Closely examine our instructional practices and procedures through

the lense of equity. Are all students getting the services and support they need to be successful? (e.g. Restorative Justice, PBISS)

• Develop our own early warning system (real-time dashboard):

“On-Track” module – to include behavioral and social emotional learning measures: Illuminate Student Information.
