Gathering Site Program Data
Your work for the Instructional Improvement Project for CAP #2 will focus on gathering instructional program data about the school you have selected for your project.
Please remember that the more information you discover about the school and the instructional program the easier it will be for you to focus on those key goals that you believe will improve learning for all students.
As you review test data, you will need to examine three years of relevant assessment data (e.g. 2011, 2012, and 2013) that is available for the areas of English/Language Arts (ELA) and Math, as well as one other area of instruction (e.g. Science, Social Science, or Physical Education).
NOTE: Some content areas may not have been tested due to pilot testing, so keep this in mind when selecting data years.
In addition to the information you will find by using the SARC, you may also use the following sources: the school website, the school district website and/or the California Department of Education website (www.cde.ca.gov).
***As a note, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC) by February 1 for the prior school year (e.g. 2014-15 may not be available until February 1, 2016. As such, you may need to review the prior year’s SARC dated 2013-14. In some cases, you may need to request the document from the school itself.
The following are also helpful data bases:
