Verdugo Hills High School WASC/CDE Self-Study ReportThe instruction focus group would also like to have an opportunity to seemore of the best practices of their fellow teachers, as it helps keep theminspired. It would also be useful for departments to work together in how toincorporate the test review for the CAHSEE and CST into the actualcurriculum.Lastly, the instruction focus group feel the school need to continue to workto ensure the three SLCs are positive experiences for all students. The focusgroup felt that each SLC needs to focus more on their identity and thematicareas of study, rather than just been a means of having the students beinformed about testing and their results on the CST. The focus group wouldlike to see SLCs develop time to meet with their students to encourage themto feel that they are receiving a personalized educational experience andthat they identify themselves as being an active part of their SLCs.CONCLUSION:As the instruction group has worked together in this process ofaccreditation, they have found that VHHS has significant strengths incurriculum and instruction, and that the faculty rigorously uses standardsbased instruction, technology, and SDAIE strategies, and periodicassessments, to foster and enhance student learning. VHHS has a variety ofprograms to support and encourage all their students which will keep themon the path towards graduation and to hopefully seek a post secondaryeducation. The faculty, staff, and administration will continue to work tomeet the needs of all VHHS students, and the school offers students a widevariety of opportunities to enrich their learning outside of school through theclubs, athletics program, and SLCs on campus. The faculty will continue towork to connect instruction and curriculum to real world experiences andemphasize alternate career paths in addition to college. There is a strong“Don Identity” felt by the faculty, staff, and administration, but the focusgroup felt that the faculty, administration, and staff need to continue to helpVHHS students to embrace those treasured values as well.STRENGTHS:• Dedicated Faculty, Staff, and Administration• ClubsVerdugo Hills High School WASC Self-Study Page 140
