Some of the data:
The dropout rate for our nation remains unacceptably high. In 2006, the Education Trust reported that nearly 25 percent of the ninth grade population will not end up graduating from high school.
![Page 15: We just missed the school bus. \ Don’t worry. I heard the principal say](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56813079550346895d96560a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
UCLA
Some of the data:
Take reading levels as an example.
Despite reports of small recent gains, most American students, across grade levels, are reading at the most basic levels and “only about 30 percent of high school students read proficiently and more than a quarter read below grade level.”
![Page 16: We just missed the school bus. \ Don’t worry. I heard the principal say](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56813079550346895d96560a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Data from the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) clearly shows the plateau effect

• First Concern – Enhancing understanding of intrinsic motivation as related to academic achievement and the achievement gap
• Second Concern – Reducing overemphasis on behavior/social control & enhancing appreciation of the impact of psychological reactance
• Third Concern – Re-engaging students who have become actively disengaged from classroom instruction
• Fourth Concern – Teacher motivation

Brief Activity
• Think about how your school improvement plan addresses students who do not come to school motivated and ready to learn.
• Using the three lenses, jot down what’s being done to:
(1) Address barriers to learning
(2) Re-engage disconnected students

37
Why the fragmentation?
Current situation at all levels in the educational systemwith respect to student/learning supports is that the efforts are
Marginalized in school improvementpolicy and practice
Fragmentation is one result and isn’t solved by focusing solely on improving coordination
Poor cost-effectiveness is another result (up to 25% of a school budget used in too limited and often redundant ways)
So is counterproductive competition for sparse resources (among school support staff and with community-based professionals who link with schools)
![Page 38: We just missed the school bus. \ Don’t worry. I heard the principal say](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56813079550346895d96560a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Some Student & Family Assistance
Besides offering a small amount of school-owned student "support” services, schools outreach to the community to add a few school-based / linked services.

• Clearly, there are some supports; what’s missing is a dedicated, unified, and comprehensive component focused on:
(1) addressing barriers to learning and teaching
AND
(2) re-engaging students who have become
disconnected from classroom instruction

![Page 40: We just missed the school bus. \ Don’t worry. I heard the principal say](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56813079550346895d96560a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The missing component becomes evident when school improvement plans are analyzed with respect to what is planned for those students who do not come to school every day motivated and ready to learn.

Activity:
Discuss what you think teachers at your school would answer if asked what proportion of their students show up each day motivationally ready and able to do what the teacher has planned to teach that day.
Why are so many students not motivationally ready and able?
After your discussion, enjoy a break.

• The major intent of agency reform is to restructure services to reduce fragmentation.
• The emphasis is mainly on interagency collaboration.
• Schools have been included since they offer better access to agency clients. Thus, the concept of school linked services, and the idea of community agencies co-locating services on a school site.

Because the focus is on services, little attention is paid to
»integrating community resources with existing school programs and services designed to address barriers to learning;
»including a full range of community
resources;
»strengthening families and neighborhoods by improving economic status and enhancing other fundamental supports.

To Recap:
School improvement policy and planning have not addressed barriers to development, learning, and teaching as a primary and essential component of what must be done if schools are to minimize behavior problems, close the achievement gap, and reduce the rate of dropouts
![Page 56: We just missed the school bus. \ Don’t worry. I heard the principal say](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56813079550346895d96560a/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
UCLA
To Recap:
As a result, current efforts are marginalized, fragmented, often
redundant and off track, and they have resulted in counterproductive competition
for sparse resources
![Page 57: We just missed the school bus. \ Don’t worry. I heard the principal say](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56813079550346895d96560a/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
UCLA
To Recap: The need is for a comprehensive system of learning supports that
(1) addresses barriers to development, learning, and teaching &
(2) (re-)engages students in classroom learning
![Page 58: We just missed the school bus. \ Don’t worry. I heard the principal say](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56813079550346895d96560a/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

In the handout, material , we have put some key questions we hope you are thinking about at this point.
For discussion:
• What are the many external and internal barriers interfering with your students learning and your teachers teaching and how does all this affect your schools?
![Page 59: We just missed the school bus. \ Don’t worry. I heard the principal say](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56813079550346895d96560a/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

Next:
We turn to four fundamental, interrelated concerns involved in moving forward to develop
a Comprehensive
System of Learning Supports

UCLA
Defining Learning Supports
Learning supports are the resources, strategies, and practices that provide physical, social, emotional, and intellectual supports to enable all pupils to have an equal opportunity for success at school by directly addressing barriers to learning and teaching and re-engaging disconnected students.
A comprehensive, multifaceted, and cohesive learning
supports system provides supportive interventions in
classrooms and school-wide and is fully integrated
with efforts to improve instruction and management
at a school.

• Referral interventions for students & families with problems • Enhancing access to direct interventions for health, mental health, and economic assistance
• Care monitoring, management, information sharing, and follow-up assessment to coordinate individual interventions and check whether referrals and services are adequate and effective
• Mechanisms for resource coordination and integration to avoid duplication, fill gaps, garner economies of scale, and enhance effectiveness • Enhancing stakeholder awareness of programs and services

To Recap:
School improvement planning for developing a comprehensive system of learning supports to address barriers to learning and teaching requires:
(1) adoption of a umbrella framework that can unify current efforts
(2) expansion of the framework for school
accountability (to account for efforts to enhance social and personal functioning and address barriers to learning and teaching -- we will detail
this later)
![Page 104: We just missed the school bus. \ Don’t worry. I heard the principal say](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56813079550346895d96560a/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
UCLA
To Recap:
Combining a continuum of intervention with a discrete set of content arenas to establish a comprehensive framework to guide development of an enabling/learning supports component. The resulting matrix provides a mapping tool and a planning guide for developing a comprehensive set of learning supports.

Activity Looking at schools you know:
How close are they to having a unified and comprehensive system of learning supports?
To answer this, many schools are using our Center’s tool for mapping & analyzing
Learning Supports – (It’s online as part of a toolkit of aids) Take a few minutes now to do a bit of mapping using this aid.
