SINGLE PLAN FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT: INTRODUCTION
EC Section 64000 requires schools and districts that receive state and federal or other applicable funding through the district’s Con App process to
prepare a SPSA for any recipient school. The SPSA is a blueprint to improve the academic performance of all students to the level of the performance
goals, including both the Academic Performance Index (API) and the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) measures.

SINGLE PLAN FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
Both 2014-15 and 2015-16 are addressed in this Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) document. The nation's movement toward Common
Core State Standards (CCSS) is reflected in changes to instructional practices as well as the way in which academic progress is measured. SDUSD has
been proactive implementing CCSS as well as piloting Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBAC), the standardized testing developed to measure
academic progress associated with CCSS. Additionally, SDUSD has developed internal benchmark assessments for CCSS.
The contents of this SPSA include the 2014-15 SSC approved categorical budget. The work toward approving the 2014-15 categorical budget was
completed in the spring of 2014 in preparation for the 2014-15 school year. This document is contained in the appendix and has been updated to
address the 2014-15 academic environment and academic goals. The rationales for each expense are identified in the budget.
SCHOOL VISION AND REALITY
Our Vision is that all students succeed academically and ultimately earn a diploma, fulfill college entrance requirements, and develop career readiness
skills. We continue to monitor the progress of our students, especially our English Language Learners, students with disabilities, and Hispanic
students, to ensure that tutoring, mentoring, and other supports are in place. These supports are offered to each student in their work leading to a
diploma, college, and career-readiness. But our primary vehicle for supporting students is through excellent classroom instruction which provides each
student with rigorous content, high expectations, tiered support, and multiple pathways to learn and achieve mastery. Our reality is that 33% of our
students (based on data available October 2014) are English Learners or Reclassified English Learners. However, our experience is that more than half
of our students speak a language other than English at home and so may need targeted instruction in academic English. Hispanic students are currently
22% of our population, an increase of 2% since October 2009. Data shows that our Hispanic students as a group score lower on English and
mathematics assessments than white, Filipino, or other Asian groups who make up the other 78% of the student body. Many of our interventions focus
on academically deficient 9th graders in the hope they will gain skills and become strong independent learners.
CORE AND SUPPLEMENTAL SUPPORTS
TEACHER ALLOCATIONS: Teacher Allocations are based on dividing General Education Enrollment by the approved class size.
High School: 1:30
NURSE: Allocated to schools based on Contract and managed centrally. Schools at 60% FRL (Free and Reduced Lunch) or greater receive one additional day. Enrollment/Days Per Week
1-592 = 1 day per week
593-1,185 = 2 days per week
Mira Mesa High SINGLE PLAN FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

1,186-1,774 = 3 days per week
1,775-2,366 = 4 days per week
2,367 and above = 5 days per week
COUNSELOR
Allocated to schools based on Contract. FTE Allocations are calculated by taking the total enrollment at the school and divide by the ratio below to
determine the number of FTE allocated to the site.
Secondary Schools will be allocated funding to support hourly counselor time prior to the beginning of school. High School = 4 days for each
counselor. High School counselor ratio is 1:459.
GRADUATION COACH One position for each comprehensive high school and one position shared among the small school campus.
HEALTH TECHNCIAN Allocation is based on projected enrollment and managed centrally.

The categorical expenses identified in this SPSA are supplemental to these core academic staffing and supports.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Professional learning is a top priority for our school community. We recognize that universal high expectations for all students require ambitious and
continual improvements in curriculum, instruction, assessment, leadership practices, and support systems. These improvements require effective
professional learning to expand educators' knowledge, skills, practices, and dispositions. Schools demand effective professional learning focused on
substantive results for themselves, their colleagues, and their students. We artfully combine deep understanding and cultural responsiveness to the
community we serve. We hold high expectations with support for adult learning by providing multiple structures for professional development in
order to achieve school goals. Professional learning is embedded into our vision by communicating that it is a core function for improvement by
establishing and maintaining a public and persistent focus on educator professional learning. With this understanding, professional development time is provided within the structure of Professional Learning Communities. Analysis of student
data is through the lens of SDUSD's learning cycle focus, directly reflected in our vision - "How do we develop students who take an active stance in
Mira Mesa High SINGLE PLAN FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
SPSA Template Revised 4/22/2015 6
their own learning and become actively literate, contributing members of a society who make a positive difference in the world?" The school year is
broken in to four learning cycles, each cycle building student capacity around this goal. The cycles are:
Cycle I (August-November) - How do we develop an academic, social, and physical environment worthy of our children? Cycle 2 (November -February) - How do we create classrooms that are alive with collaborative conversations? Cycle 3 (February - April) - How do we create the learning conditions that maximize the potential that is within the variability of all learners? Cycle 4 (April - June) - How do we develop students that take an active stance in their own learning and the learning of others?
Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) analyze student data in order to monitor student progress toward these goals. Analysis results in
responsive instruction. Findings and progress are shared with parents and community via advisory groups and School Site Councils (SSCs).
SPSA ALIGNMENT TO THE LEA PLAN
SDUSD’s LEA goals (12 Quality Indicators for Success) are articulated throughout the SPSA. Each of the 5 Area Goals contained in the SPSA have
Title I budgets allocated to supports identified within the LEA plan. Supports include, but are not limited to, CCSS curriculum alignment via PLC and
professional development, extended and intensive learning opportunities, etc. as they are described in the “Budget: Resources Aligned to Area Goals” section of this plan.
PROCESS FOR MODIFYING THE SPSA AND CONCLUSIONS The SSC has analyzed the academic performance of all student groups and has considered the effectiveness of key elements of the instructional
program for students failing to meet API and AYP growth targets. In order to achieve the Learning Goals and implement the major strategies and
action steps set forth in the plan, the following related actions and expenditures have been adopted to raise the academic performance of student groups
not meeting state standards.
Advisory groups were consulted during the SPSA development process as documented on the Recommendations and Assurances page.

Local Control Funding Formula Goals
Goal 1: Intervention Supports Student learning is analyzed in real time, resulting in a plan that responds to identified needs, the supports are timely on-going and linked to the outcomes
of the core instructional program, how will you utilize your funds to maximize results for students?
Intervention Support Goal:
Each year, our teachers participate in professional development to help them implement the instructional shifts necessary for students to meet CCSS and
NGSS.
All teachers use the Literacy Resource Packet, created by the MMHS Literacy Team, when they need a close reading protocol or prompts and rubrics for
argument writing assignments.
Department members work collaboratively to create common assessment experiences in line with SBAC test items including performance tasks.
Administration and counseling continue to monitor student achievement, provide academic and personal supports to students, and work with staff and
other resources to provide tiered support to students not meeting diploma requirements.
Identified Need: Students need to gain knowledge and develop skills in English and in mathematics so that they can meet a-g diploma reqirements and be ready for
college and career entry.
Target Group:
While we monitor the progress of all students we are especially concerned about our English Language Learners, students with disabilities, and Hispanic
students. These have been our lowest performing groups on the CAHSEE in both English and mathematics. We also identify and monitor struggling
ninth graders.
Monitoring: Administration and counseling meet 5 times a year, after each 6 week grade report to review progress of students. We give particular attention to English
Language Learners, Hispanic students, students with disabilities and struggling ninth grade students.
Personnel Responsible: Principal, Vice Principals, Counselors Goal 2: Classroom Supports A variety of classroom supports expand or enhance core instructional programs, how do these supports align to your instructional program?
Classroom Support Goal:
To enhance and expand our core instructional program, three initiatives are in play at MMHS. First, teachers have increased technology resources to use
in instruction. Second, teachers in all departments implement the school wide Literacy plan for reading and writing. And third, teachers are using the
instructional shifts mandated by the CCSS to design lessons requiring students to demonstrate deeper knowledge, use text to respond to questions or
support their arguments, and apply content knowledge and problem solving skills on SBAC type common assessments.
Identified Need:
Mira Mesa High SINGLE PLAN FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
SPSA Template Revised 4/22/2015 16
New technologies are necessary for students to access the information they need and to demonstrate their skills. To prepare our students for college and
career, they need experience using technology Second, our students need practice in reading informational text to extract information and they need
practice writing a persuasive, appropriately supported argument. And third, our students need to have instruction that engages them and leads them to
meet CCS standards.
Target Group:
All students need instruction in line with these 3 supports. But our English Language Learners especially need additional instructional supports in order
to succeed. Additionally, our Hispanic students and students with disabilities need extra support in the classroom.
Monitoring: Teachers select 3 students and collect work samples that show performance in the areas of use of technology, literacy (close reading an use of argument
in writing), and meeting CCSS. As a regular part of Professional development and Professional Learning Community activities, teachers reflect on
student proficiency in all three areas: technology, literacy, and meeting standards. Personnel Responsible::
Principal, Vice Principals, Faculty Goal 3: Professional Development Professional learning is a response to student and adult need--according to your current reality, what type of teacher learning will you lead at your site
and how will you utilize your funds to maximize results for students?
Professional Development Goal: Professional development will take two paths: one is to increase the use of technology within instructional and the other is to provide opportunities for
faculty to collaborate on the implementation of CCSS and NGSS and to make the instructional shifts these new standards require. Underlying these two
strands, teacher-leaders in math and English will continue to build their capacity for educational leadership within their departments and across
curricular areas.
Identified Need: 1.Teachers need to increase their ability to use technology effectively in the classroom.
2. Teachers in all disciplines need to increase their understanding of how to effect the instructional shifts defined by CCSS and NGSS, especially in the
areas of reading and writing.
3. Teacher-leaders need increased capacity to lead professional development.
Target Group:
All staff need to enhance and expand their ability to teach literacy and numerical skills within their content areas. English, mathematics,social studies
and science teachers will need specific professional development activities to support implementation of CCSS and NGSS, college, and career readiness.
Monitoring:
Twice a month; all staff have the opportunity to join the administration for instructional walk-throughs to observe best practice.
Vice Principals observe classroom instruction weekly and work with department chairs to plan professional development.
The Instructional Team meets monthly, sets direction, and reviews department professional development plans each year.
