I have learned so much information in this course, from IEP plans, 504, and SSTs. I have also learned that is it crucial to have a master schedule for things to run effectively within the school.
I was also able to work as a team effectively regarding the intensive IEP process and what it entails.
This is an effective flow chart of how an SST should function within those districts that have the SST process. This can eliminate over-testing for special education services and implement the appropriate intervention strategies needed to help the student succeed.
What I have learned in this course has helped me understand how districts budget their staff and other resources.
The LCAP, or Local Control and Accountability Plan, is a strategic document that California school districts use to outline their goals, actions, and budget allocations to improve student outcomes. It's part of California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF, a state law that provides funding to schools based on student demographics). LCAPs are designed to promote local decision-making, transparency, and community engagement in how school districts spend their money.
The SPSA or School Plan for Student Achievement. It is a comprehensive plan developed by schools to improve the academic performance of all students, particularly those furthest from achieving state standards. The SPSA serves as a blueprint for schools to identify and address their students' instructional needs, use resources effectively, and track progress towards student achievement goals.
I have also learned so much from my professor and how to be an effective administrator and assist my administration with the effective tools if needed. Overall, this class has been a significant help with my further understanding of how an effective district should be set up.
