Directions: Describe the major improvement strategy(s) for 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 that will address the root causes identified in the data narrative. For each major improvement strategy, identify the root cause(s) that the action steps will address. (Each root cause should be addressed by at least one major improvement strategy.) Give each major improvement strategy a short, descriptive title (under “Name”), describe what the successful implementation of that strategy will look like, and identify the research supporting that strategy. Considering why the strategy is a good fit for your school and including an explanation in the narrative may provide additional precision in strategy implementation and alignment. Finally, if the major improvement strategy is addressing an accountability or grant requirement, indicate that by checking the relevant boxes in the section titled "Accountability Provisions or Grant Opportunities Addressed by this Major Improvement Strategy.” View the Quality Criteria for specific expectations in the Major Improvement Strategies section. These Strategy Guides provide a useful model for strategies, evidence base, and critical actions for successful implementation.

Major Improvement Strategy:  Refining our multi-tiered system of supports for students
Describe what success will look like:
Our system of supports will properly identify and address all student academic needs.

Describe the research supporting this strategy and why it is a good fit for your school:
CDE's recommendations for multi-tiered systems of support include a prevention-based framework of team-driven data-based problem solving for improving the outcomes of every student through family, school, and community partnering and a layered continuum of evidence-based practices. A robust and comprehensive MTSS system would target and address student needs.

Lack of student engagement: Our system lacks infrastructure to model and promote student participation and parent involvement related to implementation of additional instructional support. More definitive participation guidelines need to be established to expand this opportunity to meet student needs at all levels and content areas.

Implement infrastructures(positive specific feedback, monitoring engagement rates online and in building, monitoring passing and attendance rates) to increase positive academic habits of engagement of all students.
