Research: Visited six online learning centers who shared best practices and whose demographics resembled our own.

Centralized Model: A centralized model helps assure quality of instruction, compliance, and economies of scale. The Independent Study option a must to stay competitive with charter schools.

Teacher: The teacher is the most important aspect of online learning. Teachers need to specialize in the online modality, not simply migrate there from the brick and mortar classroom.

Support: Monitor progress constantly and offer support constantly.

Marketing: Is essential! All successful programs do.

Comprehensive Services: Online learning centers must be very attractive, offer an array of services, and be run by online teaching and support specialists.

Due Diligence Discoveries

Get the word out: Marketing Online Learning and Independent Study districtwide

Best Practices: Ongoing development of policies and implementation for online learning

Professional Development: Ongoing professional development opportunities for online teachers/staff

EQUITY1. Affords all students the chance to succeed by being able to attend school in a

format that suits their life circumstance.

a) Anywhere: Online Learning can occur from anywhere if there is a computer and internet connection, including via mobile devices.

b) Anytime: The Independent Study option serves students who need the flexibility to complete their coursework any time during the day.

2. Affords all students the chance to earn mastery of a subject at their own pace.

a) Personalized: In a traditional classroom setting time is the constant and mastery varies. In the online learning world, mastery is the constant and time varies. This accommodates all learners to focus on their individual learning style.

3. Affords flexibility for students who are engaged in athletics, drama, music, ASB, clubs, internships, community service, and other important opportunities to build college/career readiness.

LCAP Goal 4: Positive School Environment, Climate, and Culture –with Equity at the Core and Support for the Whole Child.

4.7 Attractive, Clean, and Well Maintained Schools

4.8 Safe Schools

January 26, 2016

LCAP Goal 4 Metric

Metric - Facilities Inspection Tool (% of schools at “Good” or better) - 100% of schools will be at

the “Good” or better rating on the FIT.

29

The Facility Inspection Tool (FIT) has been developed by the Office of Public School Construction to determine if a school facility is in “good repair” as defined by Education Code (EC) Section 17002(d)(1) and to rate the facility pursuant to EC Section 17002(d)(2).

The tool is designed to identify areas of a school site that are in need of repair based upon a visual inspection of the site. In addition, the EC specifies the tool should not be used to require capital enhancements beyond the standards to which the facility was designed and constructed.

Facility Inspection Tool (FIT)

30

Good repair is defined to mean that the facility is maintained in a manner that ensures that it is clean, safe, and functional as designed.

As part of the school accountability report card, school districts and county offices of education are required to make specified assessments of school conditions including the safety, cleanliness, and adequacy of school facilities and needed maintenance to ensure good repair.

In addition, beginning with the 2005-06 fiscal year, school districts and county offices of education must certify that a facility inspection system has been established to ensure that each of its facilities is maintained in good repair in order to participate in the School Facility Program and the Deferred Maintenance Program. This tool is intended to assist school districts and county offices of education in that determination.
