WVUSD: 2014-2015 Year-End Results
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Area of Focus # 1: Student Achievement
Goal:
Prepare all students with a rigorous and engaging K-12 instructional program to meet
the high expectations of College and Career Readiness to empower students to
become contributing global citizens.
Objectives:
Implement and refine rigorous instructional systems using Common Core
(ELA/Literacy and Mathematics) standards, assessments, researched-based
instructional practices, and technology that prepare students to be College and
Career Ready.
Close the Achievement Gap among subgroups, including all ethnic groups, English
Language Learners, students with special needs, and students in poverty.
Deliver collaboratively-developed Curriculum and Instruction in all classrooms and
measure its impact on student progress using data from tools well-aligned with current
and future accountability requirements in order to adjust instruction, provide
interventions, and offer enrichment (such as Dual Language Immersion and STEAMfocused programs).
Develop the Whole Child (guided by our Local Control Accountability Plan) and by
providing learning opportunities in core and elective academics, character
development, visual and performing arts, health and fitness, Career and Technical
Education programs, and other co-curricular activities.
Provide professional development opportunities for all staff, focusing on Common
Core State Standards, future standards (such as Next Generation Science Standards
and English Language Development standards), instructional practices, best practices
for divergent learners (including students with special needs, who have recently
returned to WVUSD from a LACOE-run program), character development, diversity,
technology, and assessments; district actions will be guided by feedback from
stakeholders, through the use of survey methods.
Showcase awards and refine/expand existing programs, plus explore future
programs, that provide students with the 21st Century skills needed for them to be
college and career ready and to become contributing global citizens.
