Project Description: WestEd's Local Accountability Professional Development Series (LAPDS) are training services customized to meet the accountability needs of school districts as well as of individual schools.
District Training- Identifying and Using Essential Standards
- Building Benchmark Assessments
- Reviewing Benchmark Assessment Items
- Monitoring Student Achievement (District Supervisors)
School Training- Using Data for Standards-Based Instruction
- Monitoring Student Achievement (School Administrators)
- Unpacking Standards
- Developing Instructional Calendars and Curriculum Mapping
- Developing Common Formative Assessments
- Implementing Reteach and Enrichment Strategic Intervention
LAPDS' training services are based on research in mastery learning theory and the alignment of curriculum, lesson planning, instruction, and assessment. This alignment provides students with specific, immediate feedback and multiple opportunities to demonstrate proficiency of the academic standards.
All training sessions are designed to be interactive with a high level of group participation. The sessions are limited to 50 participants with one trainer. The trainer provides the WestEd training materials and works with the district and/or school staff to customize the training to address local needs. The trainer will plan the training with the district/school leaders and adjust the content to fit the experience and knowledge of the group.
The training modules are designed to be 2-3 days in length with time for participants to complete work products that will be used by the district/school to implement the local accountability system. The LAPDS trainer will provide the district/school with the next steps to follow up on the training and ensure a high-quality implementation of the program.
