messageFROM THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

Dear Fellow Educators:

As a new school year gets underway it is impossible to ignore the context of our efforts, which is certainly the most challenging economic circumstances for public schools in my lifetime. No one can yet fully grasp the impact of the deep cuts that have been made wherever we look, and the programs that have been decimated. The one, true, and most under-appreciated facet of public education is our ability, year after year, despite whatever is thrown our way, to carry on and do what we can to serve the students in our charge. As the Nike ads would say, we ‘just do it,’ no matter what — and that spirit is the bedrock of what we are able to achieve in our classrooms.

This year will be more challenging than ever, and I want you to know that the Santa Barbara County Education Office is more committed than ever before to providing our districts, our schools, and our educators countywide with services, leadership, and support to help wherever we can. In particular, our Instructional Services division remains a committed partner in helping you provide the highest quality instruction to your students, through professional development and technical assistance. This catalog is one tool that we hope will prove useful.

As you may know, our office provides a full array of technical assistance, professional development, and site-based work. The many options in this catalog offer support at many levels. As has been the case in the past, services for program improvement schools and districts include comprehensive program reviews, District Assistance and Intervention Team (DAIT) and Program Improvement school support that include customized on-site professional development. We encourage you to review the many available opportunities in this catalog and to take advantage of the support they offer at the classroom, site, or district level. The instructional services division staff and I look forward to another successful year of partnership with educators countywide. We know that by working together, we can all continue to make a difference to the children in our charge.

Thank you for all you do, under trying conditions, and best wishes for a very good school year.

Sincerely,

Bill CironeCounty Superintendent

Dear Fellow Educators,

With optimism and enthusiasm, we would like to welcome you to a new school year! Recognizing that this year comes with unprecedented financial challenges, it is more essential than ever to continue the momentum of the work that has already begun in so many of our county’s schools. Your focus on Collaboration, Response to Intervention, Pyramids of Intervention, classroom walkthroughs, active student engagement, English learners, data-driven decision making—all of these essential pieces of teaching and learning—are reasons to celebrate, and are compelling reasons to continue the work.

The mission of the Instructional Services division at the Santa Barbara County Education Office is to provide leadership and service in the areas of professional development and technical assistance. SBCEO consistently strives to provide high-quality services at a low cost to schools and districts. We proudly provide services that support the collaborative effort between state agencies, schools, districts, and our office to build the capacity to bring all students to academic proficiency and beyond.

Building upon the work you have been doing, we are bringing some powerful presenters to our county: Mike Mattos, the principal of Pioneer Middle School in Tustin, California,

which has consistently ranked among the state’s top schools for student performance, and which implements a highly effective pyramid of intervention; and Dr. Mike Vanderwood, who will return to deepen our understanding and application of Response to Intervention.

SBCEO looks forward to serving teachers and administrators as we collectively implement practices that result in every student succeeding.

Sincerely,

Susan SalcidoAssistant Superintendent, Instructional Services

MIKE VANDERWOOD is an Associate Professor at the University of California-Riverside and has been involved in RtI implementation and research for the last decade. He is a graduate of the University of Minnesota where he had a chance to work with some of the pioneers in the field of RtI. In the mid 90s, he worked in Iowa and was a practitioner of one of the first systems in the country to use RtI in general and special education. While in Iowa, he also worked at the state level focusing on large scale assessment and accountability systems. After leaving Iowa, Mike received a federal grant to evaluate the implementation of RtI in the Milwaukee, WI public schools and since then has conducted research and helped with RtI implementation in five states and over 50 agencies. Most of his current research focuses on assessing the quality of assessment and intervention tools used in an RtI approach for all students with a specific focus on English Learners (EL).

Mike MattosMIKE MATTOS is principal of Pioneer Middle School in Tustin, California. Under his leadership, Pioneer has consistently reached exemplary levels of academic achievement, ranking in the top 1 percent of California middle schools. Pioneer was named a California Distinguished School in 2003 and 2007, and a NCLB National Blue Ribbon in 2008. Pioneer Middle School is one of only eight schools featured by Dr. Richard DuFour in the video series The Power of Professional Learning Communities at Work™: Bringing the Big Ideas to Life. As former principal of Marjorie Veeh Elementary School in Tustin, Mike helped create a powerful PLC that successfully improved learning for all students. In 2004, Marjorie Veeh Elementary won the California Distinguished School and Title I Achieving School awards.

To achieve success, Mike and his staff implement PLC concepts and maintain a collaborative environment. Mike’s vision has united teachers, counselors, and administrators in a common goal — to educate all students. For his leadership, Mike was named the Orange County Middle School Administrator of the Year by the Association of California School Administrators.

Mike is coauthor of the highly acclaimed book, “Pyramid Response to Intervention: RTI, Professional Learning Communities, and How to Respond When Kids Don’t Learn.” This compelling book demonstrates how to create three tiers of interventions—from basic to intensive—to address student learning gaps. This book provides outstanding guidance to teams as they evaluate their current systems, build strong interventions, and create a successful and compliant pyramid response to intervention in their schools.

Response to Intervention (RtI) is a multi-tiered approach to meeting the needs of struggling learners using scientifically based research practices and systematic monitoring of student progress. RtI is based on research which shows that early identification and support for struggling learners will increase the likelihood of their success within the general education environment. Designing and implementing an RtI model is a significant undertaking for districts and schools. This workshop is specifically designed to assist district level teams in: • Understanding the rationale for changing to an RtI model• Ensuring that systems and supports are in place at the district level to support the implementation of RtI• Understanding the implications of RtI for students with disabilities and English Learners• Providing ongoing support for progress monitoring, including DIBELS

Introduction to a Response to Intervention (RtI) Model

Audience: K-12 site teams and principalsDate/Time: Sept. 15, 2009, 8:30 am - 3:30 pmLocation: SBCEO AuditoriumCost: $35 per person (includes breakfast and lunch)

The workshop will include a detailed examination of the rationale for changing to an RtI model and will introduce the concepts of data-based decision making, including screening and progress monitoring. Participants are encouraged to attend the September 17, DIBELS workshop.

Specific workshop goals are to:• Present an RtI model that integrates data-based decision making across a three-tiered model• Identify assessment procedures used within the RtI approach • Present progress monitoring systems that can be used within an RtI approach for all students, including English Learners

nsuring that all students receive appropriate academic

instruction is an overwhelming task, even for the most dedicated

of educators. Because no teacher can possibly possess all

the knowledge, skills, time, and resources needed to ensure

high levels of learning for all students, it is incumbent upon us to work

collaboratively. When schools operate as Professional Learning Communities

(PLCs), create Pyramids of Intervention, and implement Response to

Intervention (RtI), we create unique opportunities for powerful change.

Instructional Media ServicesProfessional Development from

Districts and school sites that contract with SBCEO for Instructional Media Services, including the online Portal, are entitled to one training, per site per year, at no additional cost. Site staff should be trained once each year in order to take full advantage of the resources made available to teachers, students, and parents in the SBCEO Portal.

Fee: One Portal training per year included in contract.

SBCEO Portal Basics

Districts and school sites that contract with SBCEO for Instructional Media Services, including the Portal, may also want to take advantage of the advanced Portal training. Staff who currently use the SBCEO Portal will be trained to use the more advanced features of the Portal and become experts in the multitude of features available.

Fee: One Portal training per year included in contract.

SBCEO Portal Advanced

Do you have a home school or independent study program? The SBCEO Portal can bring powerful learning opportunities to students and families who are studying outside the conventional classroom. We will train your staff, students, and parents to use the myriad resources in the Portal so that they can take independent learning to new levels in a safe, reliable online environment.

Fee: $100/hour plus mileage.

Using the SBCEO Portal to Support Your Home School Program

Moodle is the dynamic online classroom content management system you may have heard about. It is made available through the SBCEO Portal and is making an impact on the way local teachers are using technology to support student learning. Imagine extending the learning day without lengthening the teachers’ work day; or engaging students using discussion forums, online assignments, wikis, blogs, and chats that are limited to those students enrolled in the class. The power of Moodle lies behind the teacher’s uploaded content that students can complete any time they can access the Internet. Your staff can gain a basic understanding of Moodle in just 4 hours (either a single day training or spread out over a few weeks).

Fee: $400/half day plus mileage.

Instructional Media ServicesInstructional Media Services provides a wide variety of services for schools and districts

throughout Santa Barbara County. The Portal + AV Contract includes rich online resources

through the Portal, which are available to teachers, students, and parents at any time.

Integrating these resources into classroom instruction is a powerful way to increase efficiency,

student engagement, and student achievement. These professional development opportunities

can occur on site, via videoconference, or at SBCEO.

Using Moodle to Enhance Staff Communication and Collaboration

Moodle can be far more than a classroom learning tool; it can make your staff communications dynamic and interactive. Moodle has the ability to provide links, discussion forums, document sharing, live chats, and more. All you need is a bit of training and an Internet connection. Our expert staff will have your team up and running with Moodle in just an afternoon. Four hours is all it takes to make a significant difference in the way your team uses online communication.

Fee: $400/ half day plus mileage.

If your staff has recently received new laptops, AV equipment, or other technology, you may be looking for professional development opportunities to take full advantage of these new tools. Our team can come to your site and assist teachers with integrating technology into their daily instruction. Using a computer to enhance instruction will engage students in new ways. We can help your staff imagine new possibilities and your students reach new levels of achievement.

Fee: $600/day plus mileage.

Integrating Technology Into Classroom Instruction

Cyberbullying, using technology and computers to pick on other children, has become a huge concern of administrators, teachers, parents, and students. We can teach your group all about this modern version of bullying and provide sound techniques to minimize the presence of cyberbullying on your campus.

Fee: $100/hour plus mileage.

“Having a leadership coach has been instrumental in

my first year of trial and tribulations. She helped me plan, organize, make

sense of, and even research goals that I couldn’t quite

put into words or action plans. I have learned such a great deal this year. My

coach was there when I felt overwhelmed and when I was excited and happy to celebrate triumphs. It has

been such great support for a new first year principal.“

— Sandra Bravo

SBCEO has certified leadership coaches available to support experienced site administrators, especially those placed in Program Improvement schools, or those new to administratration. The coaching contract includes a minimum of 30 hours of face-to-face coaching that is site-based, individualized, and focused on supporting the site leader to improve student success. Our experienced coaches are all former site principals who collectively have K-12 experience. They have successfully completed the NTC year-long training cycle and are experienced coaches.

Regional System of District and School Support

WHAT IS THE REGIONAL SYSTEM OF DISTRICT AND SCHOOL SUPPORT?

NO COST CORE RSDSS SERVICES

Technical Assistance and Capacity Building in the following areas:

• Program Improvement orientations• Train staff in the use of the Academic Program Survey/District Assistance Survey• Assist the district office to develop a District- School Leadership Team (DSLT)• Technical Assistance with PI Year 3 Corrective Action• Technical Assistance with PI Year 4-5 Restructuring• Consultation regarding services to special needs students and promising practices• Consultation about NCLB/program compliance• Presentations to local school boards• Development of networks for leaders working in and with PI schools (at cost)

The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act requires each state to establish a statewide system of intensive and sustained support and improvement for local educational agencies and schools receiving Title I funds to increase the opportunity for all students to meet the state’s academic content and achievement standards. In order to meet this requirement, California has established a Statewide System of School Support (S4). Three entities work together to complete the work of S4: The Regional System of District and School Support (RSDSS), a federally funded Comprehensive Assistance Center (CAC) at WestEd, and the California Department of Education (CDE), in an administrative role.

The RSDSS is organized around the eleven regions of the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association (CCSESA). Each region is given grant funds for a RSDSS director and to support activities based out of each county office. Jeff Hamlin, Ventura county office, is the Region 8 director (Santa Barbara, Ventura, Kern, and San Luis Obispo). The CDE convenes regular meetings of representatives from the RSDSS, county offices and the CAC to provide state-level information, coordination, and training that is disseminated through the RSDSS to county offices of education.

The SBCEO Instructional Services Division partners with our regional RSDSS office in our role as county RSDSS provider. Our work focuses on school districts and schools that receive Title I funds and are identified as Program Improvement or are subject to corrective action under NCLB.

The facing page lists a sampling of the technical assistance and support offered by the SBCEO as a RSDSS provider. We will be glad to come to your school or district and are only a phone call or email away!

Please contact Susan Salcido, Assistant Superintendent, Instructional Services, at (805) 964-4710 x5435 or send email to ssalcido@sbceo.org to discuss support for your school or district.

SERVING PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS AND SCHOOLS

of District and School Support

SERVICES AND ASSISTANCE (FOR FEE)

Many of the state reform efforts are funded through grants that provide the resources for districts to contract with an “external entity” for technical assistance and support. The SBCEO serves as an external entity and/or support provider for District Program Improvement, SAIT, DAIT, QEIA, and site level program improvement work. This work is “for fee” as follows:

EXTERNAL ENTITY (EE) FOR PI DISTRICTSWhen a district accepts Title I, Part A Basic funds and falls into Program Improvement, the district is funded to contract with an External Entity to support a state-designed improvement process. SBCEO serves as an EE and provides assistance with the required process of administering the Academic Program Survey (APS) and District Assistance Survey (DAS), revision LEAP, and leadership team support during implementation.

DISTRICT ASSISTANCE AND INTERVENTION TEAM (DAIT)If a district falls into the third year of program improvement, the State Board of Education must take corrective action by law. One of these corrective actions is to assign a DAIT to work with the district. SBCEO is a certified DAIT provider.

SCHOOL ASSISTANCE AND INTERVENTION TEAM (SAIT)SBCEO is a state-approved SAIT provider. D’Anne Brownell and Susan Salcido are state-approved SAIT leads for K-12 schools.

LEADERSHIP/PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTSBCEO is a state-approved Tier I and AB 430 (Tier II) provider for the CA administrative credential. The office also can work with districts to provide SB 472 (AB 466) instructional materials training. Sessions during the year focus on presentations that will build capacity in leadership teams (Data Teams, etc.). We have expertise in the areas of English Learners, Special Education and other at-risk populations; mathematics; English-language arts; educational technology; and the development of professional learning communities. On-site presentations are also available.

LEADERSHIP COACHINGAll curriculum directors with our office have been trained in the coaching of leaders and/or leadership teams. Services are customized to school or district needs. One-to-one coaching for site principals and other leaders is available.

DISTRICT-SCHOOL LEADERSHIP TEAM (DSLT) DEVELOPMENT Beyond initial development of the team, assist the DSLT with strategies to support PI schools and coordinate the administration and analysis of improvement documents such as the Academic Program Survey (APS) and District Assistance Survey (DAS).

Please contact Susan Salcido, Assistant Superintendent, Instructional Services, at (805) 964-4710 x5435 or send email to ssalcido@sbceo.org to discuss support for your school or district.
