Verdugo Hills High School WASC/CDE Self-Study Reportparticipation, graduation rate, and API. However, VHHS did not meetproficiency in all sub groups in English and math. Nevertheless, there hasbeen a drastic increase in math and literacy scores for all students since thelast WASC visit. Factors contributing to this increase include greatercollaboration between teachers in developing comprehensive assessmentsand the sharing best practices in professional development sessions anddepartment meetings and trainings.D. Expand strategic academic support for all studentsPrograms that have been developed include the math tutoring program, “offtrack”Algebra which gives students the opportunity to re-enroll in Algebra ifthey did not pass it before the next school year, school-wide test prep forCAHSEE, school-wide test prep for CSTs, CAHSEE Prep classes (though theDistrict funding was cut for these in Spring 2013, they were offered in theyears prior to this), intervention counseling day by SLC for students whotested far below basic or below basic in last year’s CSTs , opportunities forstudents in adult school, online classes, credit-recovery independent studyon campus for regular students (an additional class), full-time independentstudy (for current Verdugo students), and individual tutoring by mostcontent teachers. Students with disabilities have additional opportunities foracademic and social support in the Special Education Support Center on thesecond floor of the administration building and the Special Education offices.English Learners have additional support through the ESL Department Chairand department and the English Learner Coordinator. LAUSD has anextensive professional development program which models effective andLAUSD-mandated PDs for principals to implement at their schools. The VHHSProfessional Development plan was developed by the PD Committee andInstructional Cabinet and includes several modules on the new EnglishLearner Master Plan, Common Core State Standards, and the Districts’Teaching and Learning Framework, all which address giving additionalsupports to all students. In addition to the programs implemented during thelast six years, new programs such as ALEKs math, My Access English, andHomework Club are planned for implementation beginning Spring 2013.Verdugo Hills High School WASC Self-Study Page 33
Verdugo Hills High School WASC/CDE Self-Study ReportE. Improve existing programs through the systematic applicationof assessment dataLAUSD has an established program of periodic assessments, a datacollection/analysis program, and extensive progress monitoring for students,teachers, principals, and schools. Periodic assessment data is reviewedregularly at central principal professional development sessions as well as atthe school level. Some schools are given contingent waivers to give theirown local, formative assessments in lieu of the District’s periodicassessments. VHHS has such a waiver and is in the process this year ofaligning their own locally-designed assessments with the Districtassessments so data can be compared and progress monitored. The math,English, science, and social sciences departments each give either their ownlocally designed assessments or the District’s periodic assessments.The principal submits performance data on a regular basis from Verdugo tothe Educational Service Center where it is discussed and then presented tosenior staff. At the school-level, formative assessment data, data from theCSTs, CAHSEE, student grades, and additional teacher assessments areanalyzed by each department. Subsequently, supports and programs aredeveloped based upon what the data show. The Math Departmentadministers 5-7 formative assessments every 9 week term for Algebra 1,Geometry, and Algebra 2. The English Department administers twoformative assessments per semester in both 9 th and 10 th -grade English. TheMath Department meets regularly by course-specific groups to review theassessments and the assessment data and make changes as needed to boththe assessments and to their instructional practices. The biggest challenge ingetting this work done is the limited amount of professional developmenttime available to the school. VHHS has explored alternate bell schedules tocarve out more time for professional learning/PD and will continue looking atall options.Verdugo Hills High School WASC Self-Study Page 34
