Where We Were in 2004–2005We were one of the first 98 California school districts
to enter PI status.
Five elementary schools were PI status (one school at PI 4, two schools at PI 3, and two schools at PI 2), as well as intermediate school (PI 2).
The district did not adhere to the state textbook adoption cycle or maintain a focused staff development program.
Schools had little fidelity to state curricular standards. There was no effective district-wide assessment system to monitor student achievement.

4 Questions That Drive PLC Work
1. What do we want students to learn?2. How will we know when they have
learned it?3. How will we respond when learning doesn’t take
place?
4. How will we respond when learning has taken place?

Pyramid Response To Intervention
A general education function through an interdisciplinary lens.
Deliberate collaboration focused on student learning
Based on specific student achievement and learning data
Requires continuous monitoring and change focused on ensuring student success
A philosophy…not a program
Fluid not static!
