The purpose of the SPSA is to increase the overall effectiveness of the school program by crafting a strategic plan that maximizes the resources available to the school while minimizing duplication of effort with the ultimate goal of increasing student achievement. The School Site Council (SSC) is required to develop and annually review the SPSA, establish an annual budget, and make modifications in the plan to reflect changing needs and priorities, as applicable, pursuant to EC 52853(b) and 52855. California’s ESSA State Plan significantly shifts the state’s approach to the utilization of federal resources in support of underserved student groups. The SPSA provides schools with the opportunity to document their approach to maximizing the impact of federal investments in support of underserved students. The implementation of ESSA in California presents an opportunity for schools to innovate with their federally-funded programs and align them with the priority goals of the school and the LEA that are being realized under the state’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). LCFF provides schools and LEAs flexibility to design programs and provide services that meet the needs of students in order to achieve readiness for college, career, and lifelong learning. The SPSA planning process supports continuous cycles of action, reflection, and improvement.

Palmdale Learning Plaza is an authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) World School with the Primary Years Program (PYP) and Middle Years Program (MYP). The IB PYP authorization covers grades K-5 and the IB MYP authorization covers grades 6-8. IB focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside, and of the heart as well as of the mind. We aim to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. PLP teachers have created a rich educational environment requiring academic excellence through continuous improvement, self-renewal through reflection, and creativity for students. Through concept-driven inquiry, every student in kindergarten through eighth grade is deeply engaged in the Program of Inquiry, a balanced program of concepts, knowledge, skills, attitudes and actions. Our program encourages students to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners as outlined in the IB Learner Profile and IB Attitudes. We hope to provide them with a global perspective and rigor in their studies, simultaneously challenging them to take socially responsible action as a result of their learning experiences. PLP students demonstrate their learning with tangible, relevant products including models, performances, portfolios, exhibits, and major projects. They gain an understanding of the value of teamwork through the completion of group projects. In the final year of the program, students complete the PYP Exhibition, a significant event in the life of our school and students. This special long term project and exhibit provides an opportunity for ourfifth grade students to synthesize and exhibit the essential elements of their PYP journey. In the MYP, students begin working on service/community projects with a culminating project in eighth grade. School Facilities: Palmdale Learning Plaza houses 36 classrooms, computer lab, science lab, library, media center, performing arts room, kitchen, cafeteria, and full gymnasium that, when combined with the cafeteria, opens into a theater. 32 of the 36 classrooms are utilized for general education and SDC classrooms. The four remaining classrooms are used by the RSP, LST and PE teachers. PLP has two smaller classrooms, about 1/5 the size of regular classrooms, which are utilized for SLP and DHH services. Additionally, we have a PTA office, a psychologist's office and an office for counseling services. Description of School Programs The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (PYP) is a globally minded curriculum designed for students aged 3 to 12. It focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. It is a transdisciplinary program that is engaging, relevant, challenging, and significant for all learners. Topics are explored in the classrooms with a powerful emphasis on inquiry-based learning. The IB Primary Years Program addresses students’ academic, social and emotional well-being; encourages students to develop independence and to take responsibility for their own learning; supports students’ efforts to gain understanding of the world and to function comfortably within it; and helps students establish personal values as a foundation upon which international-mindedness will develop and flourish. PLP is home to the Regionalized Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) and SDC Program. We have 3 DHH classes with translators and 9 Certified Sign Language Interpreters who interpret for mainstreamed DHH students. Our DHH Itinerant teachers provide services in 9 districts in the Antelope Valley.

Conclusions based on this data: 1. Both Mathematics and English Language Arts are areas needing improvement. Reading comprehension was

added to our School Improvement Plan for 2018-2019. 2. While both areas ELA and Math are areas of improvement, it has been determined Math will increase as we focus

on reading comprehension through written expression. The crossover of comprehension and written expression will show gains in both academic areas.

3. High expectations for student behavior and achievement are set by a strong and dedicated staff. Capturing Kids' Hearts training is scheduled for the 2018-2019 school year.

Stakeholder Involvement Meaningful involvement of parents, students, and other stakeholders is critical to the development of the SPSA and the budget process. As such, the SPSA should be shared with, and schools should request input from, school site-level advisory groups, as applicable (e.g., English Learner Advisory Councils, student advisory groups, etc.). Describe the process used to involve advisory committees, parents, students, school faculty and staff, and the community in the development of the SPSA and the annual review and update. Goals, Strategies, & Proposed Expenditures In this section a school provides a description of the annual goals to be achieved by the school. This section also includes descriptions of the specific planned strategies/activities a school will take to meet the identified goals, and a description of the expenditures required to implement the specific strategies and activities. Goal State the goal. A goal is a broad statement that describes the desired result to which all strategies/activities are directed. A goal answers the question: What is the school seeking to achieve? A school may number the goals using the “Goal #” for ease of reference. Basis for this Goal Describe the basis for establishing the goal. The goal should be based upon an analysis of verifiable state data, including state indicator data from the California School Dashboard (Dashboard) and data from the School Accountability Report Card, and may include any data voluntarily developed by districts to measure pupil achievement. Expected Annual Measurable Outcomes Identify the metric(s) and/or state indicator(s) that the school will use as a means of evaluating progress toward accomplishing the goal. A school may identify metrics for specific student groups. Include in the baseline column the most recent data associated with the metric or indicator available at the time of adoption of the SPSA. The most recent data associated with a metric or indicator includes data reported in the annual update of the SPSA. In the subsequent Expected Outcome column, identify the progress the school intends to be make in the coming year. Planned Strategies/Activities Describe the strategies and activities being provided to meet the described goal. Strategies and activities that are implemented to achieve the identified goal may be grouped together. A school may number the strategy/activity using the “Strategy/Activity #” for ease of reference.

A school receiving funds allocated through the ConApp is required to describe in their strategies and activities how they will address specific state and federal requirements. A list of these requirements may be found in Appendix A: Plan Requirements for Schools Funded Through the ConApp. At a minimum a school receiving funds allocated through the ConApp must address these requirements; however, a school may describe additional strategies/activities as well. Students to be Served by this Strategy/Activity Indicate in this box which students will benefit from the strategies/activities by indicating “All Students” or listing one or more specific student group(s) to be served. Proposed Expenditures for this Strategy/Activity For each strategy/activity, list and describe the proposed expenditures for the school year to implement these strategies/activities, including where those expenditures can be found in the school’s budget. The school should reference all fund sources for each proposed expenditure and should provide budget references as an object code or an object code description. Proposed expenditures that are included more than once in a SPSA should be indicated as a duplicated expenditure and include a reference to the goal and strategy/activity where the expenditure first appears in the SPSA. Annual Review and Update The planned goals, expected outcomes, planned strategies/activities, and proposed expenditures must be copied verbatim from the previous year’s approved SPSA. Minor typographical errors may be corrected. Annual Measurable Outcomes For each goal in the prior year, provide the metric/indicators, the expected outcomes, and the actual outcomes; review the actual outcomes as compared to the expected outcomes identified in the prior year for the goal. Strategies/Activities Identify the planned strategies/activities and the proposed expenditures to implement these strategies/activities toward achieving the described goal, then identify the actual strategies/activities implemented to meet the described goal and the estimated actual expenditures to implement the strategies/activities. As applicable, identify any changes to the student groups served. Analysis Using actual outcome data, including state indicator data from the Dashboard, analyze whether the planned strategies/activities were effective in achieving the goal. Respond to the prompts as instructed.

• Describe the overall implementation of the strategies/activities to achieve the articulated goal. Include a discussion of relevant challenges and successes experienced with the implementation process.

• Describe the overall effectiveness of the strategies/activities to achieve the articulated goal as measured by the school.

• Explain any material differences between Proposed Expenditures and Estimated Actual Expenditures. Minor variances in expenditures or a dollar-for-dollar accounting is not required.

Budget Summary and Consolidation In this section a school provides a brief summary of the funding allocated to the school through the ConApp and/or other funding sources as well as the total amount of funds for proposed expenditures described in the SPSA. The Budget Summary is required for schools funded through the ConApp. The Consolidation of Funds is required for a school receiving funds allocated through the ConApp and consolidating those funds as part of a schoolwide program. Budget Summary A school receiving funds allocated through the ConApp should complete the Budget Summary as follows:

• Total Funds Provided to the School Through the Consolidated Application: This amount is the total amount of funding provided to the school through the ConApp for the school year. The school year means the fiscal year for which a SPSA is adopted or updated.

• Total Funds Budgeted for Strategies to Meet the Goals in the SPSA: This amount is the total of the proposed expenditures from all sources of funds associated with the strategies/activities reflected in the SPSA. To the extent strategies/activities and/or proposed expenditures are listed in the SPSA under more than one goal, the expenditures should be counted only once.

A school may include additional information or more detail. Consolidation of Funds A school receiving funds allocated through the ConApp and consolidating those funds as part of a schoolwide program is required to include a list of state and local programs and other federal programs that the school will consolidate in the schoolwide program. A list of commonly consolidated state and federal programs is provided in Appendix B: Select State and Federal Programs. List the federal funding source(s) and the amount(s) being consolidated in the schoolwide program, then list the state and/or local funding source(s) and the amount(s). Adjust the table as needed.

Appendix A: Plan Requirements for Schools Funded Through the ConApp

Basic Plan Requirements A school receiving funds allocated through the ConApp is required to develop a SPSA. The content of a SPSA must be aligned with school goals for improving student achievement. School goals must be based upon an analysis of verifiable state data and may include any data voluntarily developed by districts to measure student achievement. The SSC is required to develop the SPSA, which must address each of the following, as applicable:

1. A description of curricula, instructional strategies and materials responsive to the individual needs and learning styles of each student (described in the Strategies/Activities).
