Santa Paula Elementary School District
A Three Year Success Story with
Learning Plus
Phase 1
Learning Plus works side-by-side with the district to:
- Assess the district’s current status using state required selfassessment
surveys.
- Conduct interviews and observations to determine strengths and areas of need on
all seven areas of DAIT standards.
- Agree on evidence that validates the needs assessment. Determine initial
starting points and areas of focus.
The outcome is a focused set of recommendations and actions that provide the
foundation for a multi-year plan. This plan identifies and prioritizes actions
that will trigger dramatic changes and improvements in teaching and learning.
Phase 2
Learning Plus works side-by-side with the district to implement the plan:
- Provide intensive support and expertise to develop a plan and build
capacity.
- Provide professional development based on research to implement the most
effective, high impact practices.
- Coach and mentor key district leaders on specific implementation
strategies (including Superintendent, Central Office and Principals) to maintain
focus and coherence.
- Work with the district to monitor and adjust implementation steps for maximum
benefit.
