2017-20 Plan Summary

THE STORY Briefly describe the students and community and how the LEA serves them.

TEACH Academy of Technologies, is a direct-funded WASC Accredited Charter School that was established in Fall 2010, currently serving 317 students in grades 5-8. Our student demographics include: 6% Students with Special Needs, 21.1% English Language Learners; 1% Foster Youth; 0.3% Homeless; and 95% who qualify for free/reduced lunch.

MISSION

The mission of TEACH Academy of Technologies Charter School is to create a high quality, innovative teaching and learning environment that focuses on literacy; integrating state-of-the-art technologies across

the core curriculum to achieve academic proficiency for all students.

VISION

TEACH Academy of Technologies Charter School seeks to establish a state-of-the art community school in South Los Angeles that will equip students with skills and habits of mind needed to compete in the 21st century. It will reach students of all backgrounds by teaching the whole child which includes the social, physical, emotional, moral, ethical, and intellectual needs of students so that upon graduation, the knowledge and the experiences acquired at this school site can be effectively applied to their daily lives.

Longtime Los Angeles educators Mildred Cunningham and Edith Morris founded the school. The school was established with a vision of addressing the needs of the whole child, building children’s character, and integrating state-of-the- art technology in instruction. Staff focuses on forging deep, lasting connections with their students. “We hug them, we love them, we teach them,” says co-founder Cunningham. “Our kids need to feel cared about,” echoes Principal Greg Perez.

TEACH Academy of Technologies is now in its sixth location. The current location includes space for 11 modular classrooms, offices, restrooms, an eating/meeting area, and a blacktop area. The school is across the street from TEACH Tech Charter High School, that also houses the TEACH Central Office. Despite the numerous changes in locations, many parents and families have remained loyal to TEACH, following the school from site to site.

TEACH Academy has secured its final home in November 2016 with the closure of a CSFA bond deal. The TEACH District also moved out in June 2017 to provide TEACH Academy with the space it needs to grow and reach is student enrollment goal.

LCAP HIGHLIGHTS Identify and briefly summarize the key features of this year’s LCAP.

TEACH Academy of Technologies made numerous changes this past year including the purchase and implementation of standards-aligned curriculum for all core subjects including professional development for all teachers on the newly adopted curriculum.

An elective course taught daily was developed this year for unduplicated students and open to struggling students, identified by assessment results in ELA and mathematics as a academic support and intervention course to support positive student outcomes and address learning gaps. An additional intervention course was also provided after-school that met for 8-weeks to support student learning.

The 2017-18 LCAP Goals were revised in order to align with our school’s mission, vision, WASC Action Plan and state accountability plans. For each LCAP goal, are CDE required measurable outcomes with annual growth targets. Our goals are as follows:

• Goal #1: Develop an infrastructure to implement multiple forms of student/schoolwide data including assessments to inform instructional decisions, implementation of research-based intervention programs; in order to research and develop an RTI/MTSS Structured Program to identify, monitor and provide appropriate academic and social-emotional supports to ensure


student academic growth, to close the achievement gap among all subgroups.

• Goal #2: Develop a comprehensive, coherently focused, schoolwide Professional Development Plan that includes the CCSS ELA/ELD/Math & NGSS, differentiation, and research-based instructional strategies to address the diverse learning needs of our (ELL, SPED) students and supports teachers to be effective educators. Implement an instructional day that provides students with a rigorous common core aligned curriculum across all disciplines, and instruction that includes relevant and extended learning experiences that encourages student engagement, elicits critical thinking, and problem-solving.

• Goal #3: Engage parents as partners through education, communication, and collaboration, to ensure all students are college and career ready. Provide students with a safe, welcoming and inclusive, positive learning environment that exudes a Culture of High Expectations and a Culture of Respect.

TEACH Academy of Technologies will implement the actions and services outlined in this LCAP to improve student academic outcomes, retain highly effective teachers and strengthen the capacity of our Leadership Team to ensure that our school prepares every student for College and Career Readiness.


REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE

Based on a review of performance on the state indicators and local performance indicators included in the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, progress toward LCAP goals, local self-assessment tools, stakeholder input, or other information, what progress is the LEA most proud of and how does the LEA plan to maintain or build upon that success? This may include identifying any specific examples of how past increases or improvements in services for low-income students, English learners, and foster youth have led to improved performance for these students.

GREATEST PROGRESS

TEACH Academy of Technologies is proud of its performance in the Suspension Indicator of “blue.”

TEACH Academy of Technologies is proud of its performance on the following local performance indicators included in the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics for which it has earned a “Met.”

• Basic • Implementation of Academic Standards • Parent Engagement • Local Climate Survey

Referring to the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, identify any state indicator or local performance indicator for which overall performance was in the “Red” or “Orange” performance category or where the LEA received a “Not Met” or “Not Met for Two or More Years” rating. Additionally, identify any areas that the LEA has determined need significant improvement based on review of local performance indicators or other local indicators. What steps is the LEA planning to take to address these areas with the greatest need for improvement?

GREATEST NEEDS

TEACH Academy of Technologies earned a “red” on the Math indicator. As a result our school has improved our instructional and intervention program. Our school will be adopting CPM Math curriculum, and the entire teaching staff and Instructional assistant will receive professional development.

Our instructional program is geared to all learners with instructional strategies for our EL’s and at-risk low-performing students that includes:

• 120 minute block of instruction for ELA • 120 minute block of instruction for Math • Daily intervention block for ELA & Math

Our teaching staff will receive 10 days of intensive summer Professional Development followed by 2 non-instructional days during the school year to review and analyze NWEA MAP Data in addition to weekly Professional Development. The Principal and Assistant Principal will conduct classroom walkthroughs and observations and provide teachers with feedback to improve instructional practice resulting in positive student academic outcomes.


Referring to the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, identify any state indicator for which performance for any student group was two or more performance levels below the “all student” performance. What steps is the LEA planning to take to address these performance gaps?

PERFORMANCE GAPS

TEACH Academy of Technologies does not have any state indicators where any student group was two or more performance levels below the “all student” performance.


INCREASED OR IMPROVED SERVICES If not previously addressed, identify the two to three most significant ways that the LEA will increase or improve services for low-income students, English learners, and foster youth.

TEACH Academy of Technologies is working to increase the number of instructional assistants and paraprofessionals that focus on providing academic and social-emotional supports for unduplicated pupils. Services include:

• Academic intervention and support provided by classroom teach, instructional assistants, and Assistant Principal and monitored by the counselor.

• Parent Liaison to assist parents of unduplicated students.

The school Principal, Assistant Principal, and counselor will closely monitor absences/attendance records, suspensions/expulsions, referrals, truancy chronic absenteeism rates and suspensions.
