Policy for Math Assessment

Recommended for approval by the AIAHS Governing Committee on 05/31/2016 Background: We know that in the past, not all students have been properly placed in their math classes. In order to support student success, ensure appropriate math placement, and ramp up our data-driven instruction, we intend to assess all incoming students within the first two weeks of school. Along with our self-assessed need for data-driven math placement, this policy will also align with Senate Bill 359 (Chapter 508, Statutes of 2015), known as the California Mathematics Placement Act of 2015, which was signed by Governor Jerry Brown on October 5, 2015, and took effect on January 1, 2016. According to this legislation requires that our school adopt a “a fair, objective, and transparent mathematics placement policy” before the beginning of the 2016–17 school year. The California Mathematics Placement Act of 2015 requires the governing boards or bodies of local educational agencies (LEAs) that serve pupils entering grade nine and that have not already done so to adopt “a fair, objective, and transparent mathematics placement policy” before the beginning of the 2016–17 school year. According to SB 359, our math assessment policy for ninth graders must: • Systematically take multiple objective academic measures of pupil performance into consideration; • Include at least one placement checkpoint within the first month of the school year to ensure

accurate placement and to permit reevaluation of individual student progress; • Require an annual examination of pupil placement data to ensure that students are not held back in a

disproportionate manner on the basis of their race, ethnicity, gender, or socioeconomic background;

• Require a report on the results of the annual examination by the local educational agency to its governing board or body;

• Offer clear and timely recourse for each pupil and his or her parent or legal guardian who questions the student’s placement; and

• For non-unified school districts, addresses the consistency of placement policies between elementary and high school districts. (for more detail on SB 359, please visit http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB359 )

Plan: Beginning in Fall of 2016, we plan to assess all incoming ninth grade students, (unless they have already passed Algebra 1 with a C or above), within the first month of the school year using the Scholastic Math Inventory. This data will determine student math placement and will help identify students in need of additional supports. We will notify all parents and guardians of student math placement and SMI performance. The Scholastic Math Inventory (henceforth SMI) is a research-based assessment designed to screen students for Algebra readiness and growth in math performance. The SMI measures growth in skills through Algebra II, which covers most of our students. The SMI can be administered in class and can

Page 2 of 2

be given multiple times/year in order to track growth and progress toward readiness for college math. Once we have our initial data point in the Fall of 2016, we will analyze data in order to support student success and to meet our school-wide goals, with a particular focus on student sub-groups as identified in our LCAP. We will assess student progress using the SMI in the winter and in the spring and we will analyze the data to ensure that we are meeting all students equitably across sub-populations. Initial assessment and progress will be presented to governing committee at regularly scheduled meeting. The SMI also generates instructional planning reports for math coaches to be able to inform differentiated instruction with up-to-date data. Teachers will communicate student progress to parents using the data reporting from the assessment. In addition to ensuring proper placement, we will use the data from the SMI to decide on the best uses of our additional supports for math. Our extra supports include having Nimka Kurzfeld as a coach and co-teacher in Algebra and Geometry classes, afterschool tutoring, and foundational math interventions. Resolution: The governing committee resolves to approve the math policy as presented.

Date: September 9, 2016

Re: Community Programs Dashboard 2015-16 and Summer 2016

Our work in Alternatives in Action’s Community Programs is based on the practice of youth development. As youth developers, we aspire to prepare youth to be healthy, happy, and successful adults by providing safe environments, trusting adult allies, challenging learning experiences, and opportunities for meaningful participation. Adult coaches with support from youth coaches that we train in our model, accomplish this work while integrating the four principles of Alternatives in Action into all that we do:

*Meaningful Action, Real Relationships, Continual Learning, and Co-Creation*

Over the course of 2014-15, AIA built infrastructure to more accurately collect and report student level data. The attached Extended Day Program Data Overview 2015-16 includes charts with high level salient data points. This overview is designed to enable you to understand, evaluate and articulate that our youth are hitting key indicators for readiness to graduate from high school on time, attend higher learning opportunities, and be ready for careers and community. These indicators are based on the latest research available and have been vetted with evaluators in Oakland.

The Data Overview contains data in the two most recent fiscal years: 2014-15 and 2015-16. While this is not an exhaustive list of all of our program data, we have provided you with a snapshot of the most salient data points and those that are indicators for future youth success.

Highlights include:

1. Large increase in the number of youth who serve as Youth Leaders including both stipended and non-stipended youth.

2. 50% increase in the number of youth who completed external internships. 3. Increase in the number of youth served to 2119 and increase of 200 students from 2014-15. 4. McClymonds HS had a significant increase in attendance and total youth served 5. Awarded 68 youth with 5 general elective credits for their participation in Summer Bridge

We are proud of improving our data management systems and excited to share this information to deepen your understanding of our outcomes and accomplishments to support your role as ambassadors of Alternatives in Action. Our strategic planning Goal 1 is to strengthen our articulation to external stakeholders of why Alternatives in Action is the premier youth development organization in the Bay Area in order to sustain our work for future generations.

Cross-Site Demographics

Date: September 6, 2016

2016-2017 AIAHS Vision and Goal for Student Development

Students will critically read, write, and communicate toward personal and community transformation.

Enrollment/Recruitment and Attendance

• Enrollment is currently at 185 and our budget is based on an average daily attendance (ADA) of 160. We are not anticipating any challenges with achieving our ADA. We are managing the challenge of scheduling in new students given a limited number of electives because of our career pathways roll-out.

• We are excited to report that based on our anticipated ADA given this enrollment, we were able to increase staffing and also offer salary increases to bring returning staff up to the current salary guidelines.

Program Updates and Highlights

• AIAHS is now offering capstone courses for our career pathways in Multimedia, Child Development, and Education and Youth Development. We are excited about the promise of our three-part pathways that involve an introductory course (offered through our Extended Day Programs), a capstone course articulated with a community college course, and an internship component. Our College and Career Counselor was able to meet with the majority of our families to help them select pathways.

• Because of our recruitment and enrollment efforts, we were able to offer full time status to our English Language Development Coach. This shift enabled us to offer a two-hour ELD class for our newcomer students. We identified this as a critical need because many of our newly enrolled students are newcomers who are older than traditional ninth graders and have a different set of needs but would have otherwise been scheduled into ninth grade humanities based on their lack of high school credits. By offering a specialized class to meet their needs, we believe that we can more effectively support them in making gains in their critical literacy and communication.

Disciplinary Procedures

• None to report at this time.

Evaluation Activities & Results

• We achieved our target growth for the California Assessment of Student Progress & Performance (CASPP) in 2015-2016.

• Logan and Caitlin have attended a training to begin assessing youth for the Leveled Literacy Intervention program that we are launching as part of our Propel Next Grant.

• We are preparing to assess students reading, math, and language using the Scholastic Reading Inventory, the Scholastic Math Inventory, and the CELDT test respectively. We will administer all these assessments within the first month of school.

Challenges

• We have two of our student services staff out on maternity leave for the first months of school. We have developed a staffing plan that includes moving Lizbeth into a Restorative Justice Coach position temporarily and Cierra will be taking on Marisol’s responsibilities. We have also hired an additional staff in the office to support the work that Lizbeth has been holding.

• We have a few students with special needs that might require additional service that were not accounted for in our budget.

Memo TO: Alternatives in Action Executive Committee Cc: Patricia Murillo, Executive Director From: Oriana Obligacion, Director of Operations & Finance Date: 8/31/16 Re: Cash Flow 2016-2017 ______________________________________________________________________________________ The Finance Committee of Alternatives in Action had our first meeting of the year on August 31, 2016.

We reviewed the cash flow report and discussed that we would closely review the cash flow document at each meeting. Oriana updates the document monthly to put in all of the income and expenses so that we are current on what money is coming in and coming out. It was agreed that if there are any issues with the cash flow on any given month, she will call an emergency financial committee meeting. It is not anticipated that there will be a need for this.

The year-end this year looks positive although with cash flow timing there are some months that are less buffered than others. However, we don’t anticipate running into cash flow issues.

At the November Board meeting we will present budget revisions based on projected budget changes due to additional revenue from the California Department of Education and other financial updates.

We will also take a closer look at the capital budgets as we have several capital projects that are currently underway and we recognize that capital project actuals can have higher variance. The two facility projects are the Best Buy Teen Tech Center at McClymond's and the Early Childhood Education Center.

20th Anniversary Presentation to Alternatives in Action Board of Directors, 9/13/16

20th Anniversary VisionAlternatives in Action is entering into its 20th year of serving the East Bay/Oakland youth community. 20 years of getting youth ready for more!

The 20th anniversary celebration is an opportunity to:1. Celebrate where we’ve been & honor the people who

helped get us here2. Set a path for the future to prepare next generation of

20,000 youth leaders to get ready for more3. Build 2 spaces & places for transformation, so that even

more youth can envision what is possible:• Early Childhood Education Center• Teen Tech Center

20th Anniversary Goals

1) Share our Impact: Increase awareness of the organization

2) Inspire through Service: Grow revenue and donor base:

• Raise $350,000 towards ECEC and Teen Tech Center

• Develop 150 new friends (60% of whom (90 people) donate)

3) Celebrate our Community: Recognize and celebrate staff, youth, Board, and donors

20th Anniversary NarrativeThe anniversary is the moment to link our 20-year history with our 20-year vision for the

future. The brief narrative below offers a starting point for us to tell that story.

Values – We all want more for Oakland youth. • We believe young people are powerful. In our schools and throughout our communities,

we see young people striving for more voice, more connection, more ownership and more meaningful ways to make a difference – for their own future and for their communities.

Opportunity - Building more spaces and places for possibility. • Because we believe in the power and promise of young people, Alternatives in Action has

for 20 years inspired and supported our youth, creating opportunities for young people to make a real difference. For 20 years, we’ve grown the leaders who are transforming our schools, our neighborhoods and our world.

• To celebrate the next 20 years, we’re going to create more of the spaces and places for transformation -- so that even more of our youth can envision what’s possible.

• And we’re going to start with an early childhood education center and a teen tech center–two much-needed spaces for possibility in places where there are presently far too few opportunities for our youth to grow.

Action – Let’s do more together today.• So please give today. Whether you choose to give of your time and talents or your dollars

and cents, there is so much we can do together to help Oakland’s youth get ready for more. More hope, more aspiration and more possibilities – in their own lives, in our schools, across our neighborhoods and throughout our community.

20th Anniversary Strategy We will achieve our goals through:

• Service- Build upon already-existing activities (i.e. Career Panels, and Presentations of Learning) to drive fundraising and engagement with new potential donors

• Stories – Launch integrated marketing campaign to highlight impact of 20 youth, alumni, staff, and partners through AIA communications & PR outreach

• Celebration – Host gatherings throughout year, culminating with a celebratory luncheon with fun & acknowledgements

• Impact - 2 gifts to Oakland youth: Early Childhood Education Center in East Oakland, and a Teen Tech Center in West Oakland
