SINCE 2008, A PRIMARY FOCUS OF OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH SPS HAS BEEN A 5-YEAR DISTRICT STRATEGIC PLAN, EXCELLENCE FOR ALL. WE CONTRIBUTED TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION BY HELPING SPS LEVERAGE FUNDING TO UPDATE THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND ROLL-OUT THE NEW SYSTEMS AND TOOLS THAT ARE NEEDED TO REACH STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT GOALS. THESE TOOLS AND SYSTEMS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE FOLLOWING RESULTS:- A CONTINUED INCREASE IN THE PERCENTAGE OF SCHOOLS AT THE TWO HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE 5-LEVEL ACHIEVEMENT MATRIX FROM A 2009 BASELINE OF 31% TO 44% IN 2011, WHILE THE NUMBER OF SCHOOLS AT THE TWO LOWEST LEVELS DECLINED BY HALF FROM 41% TO 20%. - AN INCREASE IN THE PERCENTAGE OF SEATTLE STUDENTS ACHIEVING PROFICIENCY INCREASED IN NEARLY EVERY SUBJECT ON THE ANNUAL STATEWIDE ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT LEARNING; IN NEARLY ALL CASES SPS EXCEEDS THE STATE AVERAGE. IN ADDITION TO OUR CLOSE WORK WITH SPS ON STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION, WE OPERATE OUR OWN DISTINCT PROGRAMS CONSISTENT WITH OUR THREE CORE PRIORITIES: ACADEMIC RIGOR, EFFECTIVE TEACHING, AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDE: - SEATTLE COLLEGE ACCESS NETWORK: FACILITATED A COLLABORATIVE PLAN OF 40 INDEPENDENT COLLEGE ACCESS PROVIDERS TO INCREASE POST-SECONDARY ENROLLMENT OF LOW INCOME AND STUDENTS OF COLOR. IN THE 2011-12 SCHOOL YEAR, THE NETWORK ENROLLED 92% OF ELIGIBLE 8TH GRADERS IN THE STATES COLLEGE BOUND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM.- OUR SCHOOLS COALITION: ENGAGED AND LED 30+ DIVERSE ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS TO SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATE FOR EXPANDED ACCESS TO PROFESSIONAL ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCATORS AND FOR TEACHER EVALUATIONS THAT REFERENCE STUDENTS ACADEMIC GROWTH. WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH SPS ON CONTRACT IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES AND IMPROVEMENTS. - INTENSIVE SCHOOLS PARTNERSHIP PROJECT: ASSISTED SPS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW PARTNERSHIP FRAMEWORK TO IMPROVE THE COORDINATION AND QUALITY OF SCHOOL-BASED SUPPORT SERVICES TO STUDENTS IN NEED. WE PARTICIPATED IN THE LAUNCH OF THE PILOT PROJECT AT THREE SITES. THE PROJECT WILL STRENGTHEN COORDINATION, ALIGNMENT, AND EVALUATION OF SCHOOL-BASED SERVICES CONSISTENT WITH THE UNIQUE GOALS OF EACH SCHOOL. - SCHOOL BOARD LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT: COORDINATED PROFESSIONAL RETREATS AND TRAININGS TO HELP SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS MANAGE THEIR COMPLEX ELECTED POSITIONS. HELPED THE BOARD CONDUCT AN AUDIT OF DISTRICT POLICIES, DEVELOP A CONSISTENT POLICY-MAKING PROTOCOL, ESTABLISH ACCOUNTABILITY NORMS AND CLARIFY ROLE/RESPONSIBILITY DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT, AND ORIENT NEWLY ELECTED DIRECTORS TO THEIR COMPLEX JOBS. ORGANIZED QUARTERLY RETREATS FACILITATED BY NATIONAL EXPERTS IN THE FIELD OF SCHOOL BOARD GOVERNANCE AND REINFORCED A BEST PRACTICES PERSPECTIVE IN POLICY MAKING. - TEACHER RESIDENCY PROJECT (STR): DEVELOPED A PARTNERSHIP WITH SPS AND THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON TO BUILD A TEACHER RESIDENCY PROGRAM -- AN INNOVATIVE HIGH IMPACT APPROACH TO BUILDING A PIPELINE OF NEW TEACHERS WHO ARE INTENSIVELY TRAINED FOR PLACEMENT IN HIGH-NEEDS SCHOOLS. PROGRAM DESIGN INCLUDING CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT AND CANDIDATE QUALIFICATION/ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA WILL BEGIN IN 2012.
