18. Updating the LCAP Focus on Data The local needs (YOUR STORY) must drive plan goals, actions, and activities Stakeholder Engagement Builds understanding of requirements, facilitates implementation and secures support for, and ownership of, improved student outcomes Measuring Progress A continuous cycle of reflection, adaptation and growth will lead to improved results

19. Focus on Data (YOUR STORY) A robust needs assessment...... is the foundation of an effective LCAP... is the first critical step in the LCAP update process... will provide student performance data... will identify the actual needs of the students and any deficiencies... should be used to develop strategies to address identified deficiencies... should determine priorities, as all strategies cannot be implemented at once... should be completed prior to starting the engagement process... should be used to solicit input from stakeholders

20. A single year of data does not establish a trend Making program and service decisions based on a single year of data could result in unnecessary redirection of resources Having trend data will help identify areas of need and facilitate effective resource allocation Present data for multiple years for your school site and by subgroup Hold stakeholder meetings with data to lead to a focused and productive discussion Be strategic in selecting what and how information is shared with your stakeholders to avoid stakeholder exhaustion and disappointment Use YOUR STORY to identify areas with significant gaps If the data shows a significant gap in achievement for any subgroup in any area, ensure that these areas are priorities and identify actions to address these deficiencies Trends Accessibility Achievement © 2015 School Services of California, Inc. Focus on Data
