**PART III: Summary**

K.L. Carver Elementary School is located in San Marino, a suburb east of
Los Angeles in Southern California. The former home of the Gabrielino
Indians, and later the Henry E. Huntington Ranch, has evolved into a
neighborhood of single-family homes nestled in the oak-rich foothills of
the San Gabriel Mountains. Carver School opened in its present location
in 1952 and is one of two elementary schools in our small District. We
pride ourselves on the caring relationships we develop with our students
and their families.

The culture of Carver School is one of strong, academic achievement in a
nurturing environment. Carver\'s dedicated principal knows every child's
name through her campus activities and exhibits a leadership style that
motivates teachers and students to excel. What distinguishes our school
is the balance of academics, character building, age-appropriate
activities, and personalized attention. Our exceptional P.E. program
employs character-building strategies to teach the importance of ethics
and character. Respect is modeled and expected by all, from the
principal to the grounds crew.

Together, our principal and teachers have worked as partners to create a
vibrant standards-based learning environment in which every child\'s
unique strengths are recognized and celebrated. At Carver the teaching
spirit is one where *all teachers are responsible for all children,*
ensuring fair and consistent consideration for every student, across all
settings throughout the school. We accomplish our **mission: *to create
a collaborative environment that fosters lifelong learning for all
children, to inspire students to reach their highest potential, and to
empower them to achieve their goals.***

In every conceivable way, Carver embraces and celebrates divergent
abilities, cultures, and ethnicities. By recognizing and accepting
diversity, Carver students learn to see beyond themselves and gain a
heightened awareness of the world around them. Carver students
participate in service learning opportunities, benefiting an orphanage
and disaster victims, among others; they plant and cultivate campus
gardens, gain business acumen by helping in the Carver Student Store,
and address campus issues through a democratic process of student
council.

High academic standards and achievement are a hallmark of Carver. Our
strong API score of 946 in 2004 represents a 13 point increase---*our
fifth consecutive year of consistent gains.* We believe our success in
implementing the California academic standards is due in large part to
Carver's strong academic culture, the close rapport between students and
our innovative teachers, and the tight bonds between teachers and
families. Our district supports an average class size of 20 students in
grades K-3, and 27 students in grades 4-5. Through every grade,
technology instruction is integrated into curriculum-related assignments
with both in-class computing and computer lab instruction. The Carver
student becomes a highly literate individual who is an effective writer
and communicator, critical thinker, and problem solver who can combine
these skills with technological expertise to attain personal goals in a
culturally diverse world. As our teachers have implemented a
standards-aligned curriculum, our students have gained ground every
year.

Our community takes pride in Carver's achievements; and we are
especially appreciative of their generous financial support---through
parcel taxes for teaching salaries, a construction bond for
modernization, and the San Marino Schools Foundation\'s unfailing
donations to the district. But we see this pride best in the tens of
thousands of volunteer hours clocked each year by members of the Carver
P.T.A. and our families. This level of commitment does not happen by
accident, but through a strategy of personalized recruitment and
on-going appreciation. In a campus always abuzz with dedicated
volunteers who facilitate classroom learning, activities, and events,
all are welcome and recruited. Language and experience are not
barriers---we value every contribution of time and energy parents can
make.

At the time of its founding, Carver chose for its mascot "The Pioneers."
Today, Carver still shows a courageous, invincible spirit. Like those
adventurous early Western Settlers who trail blazed new paths to
uncharted destinations, we foster our children\'s independent curiosity
and love of discovery, exploration and innovation. Through the
collaborative efforts of administrators, faculty, staff, parents and
classmates, we strive to develop and inspire students to become Pioneers
of the future.

*Welcome to Carver School!*

**PART IV.1: Indicators of Academic Success**

> K.L. Carver Elementary School is proud of having an historically
> strong academic program, supported by an extensive network of
> teachers, administrators, parents, and community members. On both
> nationally normed tests and state criterion referenced assessments,
> our students' performance has consistently placed *[Carver School in
> the top ten percent of public schools in California]{.underline}*,
> reflecting the strong academic achievement of our students.
>
> In California, the Student Testing and Reporting System (STAR) reports
> achievement data for students in grades 2-11 for all public schools in
> the state. STAR is comprised of two measures: (1) the California
> Standards Test (CST), which is a criterion referenced test aligned
> with the state's academic standards; and (2) the California
> Achievement Test (CAT/6), which is a nationally norm referenced survey
> test. STAR assessment results for K.L. Carver Elementary School and
> the State of California can be found online
> (http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/).
>
> Carver students' assessment results on the CST show how thoughtful
> planning of curriculum leads to continuous improvement and success.
> The California Department of Education reports CST results in five
> performance levels: advanced, proficient, basic, below basic, and far
> below basic. Students demonstrate meeting the standards when they
> perform at, or above, the proficient level. *In 2004, a significant
> percentage of Carver students met and exceeded state standards,
> performing at proficient or advanced levels on the CST:*
>
> •In 2^nd^ grade, 86% of students in language arts, 94% in math
>
> •In 3^rd^ grade, 78% of students in language arts, 94% in math
>
> •In 4^th^ grade, 84% of students in language arts, 89% in math
>
> •In 5^th^ grade, 86% of students in language arts, 73% in math
>
> CAT/6 is a nationally norm referenced test introduced in 2003, with
> results reported in percentile bands. All schools in California strive
> to perform at or above the 50% percentile, demonstrating mastery of
> standards. *In 2004, a significant percentage of Carver students
> performed at or above the 50^th^ percentile on reading and math
> sections of the CAT/6:*
>
> •In 2^nd^ grade, 86% of students in reading, 97% in math
>
> •In 3^rd^ grade, 79% of students in reading, 94% in math
>
> •In 4^th^ grade, 79% of students in reading, 88% in math
>
> •In 5^th^ grade, 82% of students in reading, 93% in math
>
> At Carver School, we ensure that our students are tested; our student
> participation rate on the STAR assessment in 2003 was 99.8% and in
> 2004 was 99.6%. We are especially proud of the achievement of students
> in our smaller subgroups (English language learners and students with
> disabilities) whose achievements reflect consistently similar gains to
> our school-wide population.
>
> The Academic Performance Index (API) is California's system for
> ranking schools statewide according to results of student performance
> on STAR tests. The API uses a numeric index ranging from 200 to 1000.
> A school is considered high achieving if its API is over 800. Carver
> School's API scores are consistently high and show the steady growth
> of our students. Carver's API score was 946 in 2004, which was an
> increase from 938 in 2003.
>
> We are delighted by our students' success on the proficiency levels of
> the CSTs and the growth of our school-wide API scores, while we also
> continue to focus on character building and life skills competencies
> in addition to academics. Carver students, across the grades and over
> the years, sustain scores at the top of the rankings in the critical
> areas of literacy and mathematics.
>
> **PART IV.2: K.L. Carver Elementary School uses assessment data to
> understand and improve student and school performance.**
>
> Carver teachers systematically examine and use student assessment
> results to ensure progress toward achievement of academic standards.
> Early in the fall, our teachers and staff analyze California's STAR
> results at the school level and evaluate specific program strengths
> and weaknesses, set annual goals, and revise instruction as needed.
> Teachers in grades 3-5 analyze cohort scores from the STAR results.
> For example, 4th grade teachers receive class-matched data for their
> students' STAR results and they analyze each student's growth from 2nd
> and 3rd grades. We set high goals for all students and closely track
> the progress of at-risk and special needs students.
>
> Throughout the year, Carver teachers continually monitor student
> progress, using state assessment information, district math
> assessments and school-based authentic assessments. Assessment tools
> include quarterly math anchor tests, school-wide writing samples,
> grade level rubrics, publishers\' tests, daily student performance,
> reports, projects, and teacher observations. Teachers use assessment
> information to plan and adjust curriculum and teaching practices on a
> regular basis. Grade level team meetings, release time, and
> professional development days are used to analyze student achievement
> data and make instructional decisions.
>
> Carver teachers also use state testing data to analyze and track
> performance of individual students over time. The principal, resource
> specialist, and classroom teachers identify each student who is
> performing at, or below, basic levels of proficiency. Individual plans
> for intervention are made and include input from the previous year's
> teacher.
>
> The School Site Council (SSC) relies on assessment data, including
> STAR results, as they develop the School Improvement Plan to reflect
> areas where growth is needed. The SSC develops and monitors
> school-wide goals that will most impact student achievement. This team
> of parents, teachers, and staff work together using assessment data to
> understand and plan improvement of student and school performance.
>
> **PART IV.3:** **K.L. Carver Elementary School communicates student
> performance, including assessment data, to parents, students, and the
> community.**
>
> In the fall, the school district communicates local assessment results
> from California's STAR system in a mailing that includes performance
> data for individual students and the district. The Assistant
> Superintendent hosts meetings where parents learn to interpret their
> child's performance in relation to the standards. The local English
> and Chinese language newspapers also report STAR results and praise
> Carver's ranking on the state's Academic Performance Index. Carver's
> School Accountability Report Card is published annually and
> communicates test results and other relevant data to the community.
>
> Additional communication between home and school takes many forms and
> plays a vital role in each student's success. Each Friday, students
> take home their completed, corrected work from the week and Carver's
> weekly publication, the *Friday Flash* (newsletter providing important
> information to parents and teachers). The PTA's monthly *Carverette*
> newsletter highlights curriculum topics and school events. The Carver
> Handbook, given to each family at the start of the school year,
> outlines school policies and expectations. Teachers, staff, and
> parents may subscribe to a weekly email notification of school
> activities and upcoming events. All of these publications can be
> accessed on Carver's website
> (http://www.san-marino.k12.ca.us/\~carver/).
>
> Teachers communicate regularly with parents regarding student
> performance. Formal conferences are held at the end of the first
> quarter, and parents review work samples and receive detailed feedback
> of their child's progress. Through email, notes, and phone calls,
> informal communication takes place between teachers and parents on a
> continual basis. Report cards are sent home at the end of the second,
> third, and fourth quarters. Teachers and staff are committed to
> keeping parents connected with our school.
>
> **PART IV.4: K.L. Carver Elementary School has shared [and will
> continue to share]{.underline} its successes with other schools.**
>
> Carver School's faculty and staff work closely with other district
> schools to share successes and strengthen instructional strategies.
> The faculty upholds a long-standing tradition of ongoing, frequent
> collegial dialogue and collaboration. Grade level meetings allow
> teachers to share and compare student work and plan strategies to meet
> the needs of all students. Cross grade level sharing occurs during
> school staff meetings, team meetings, and during all professional
> development activities. Teachers serve on district committees to
> develop curriculum and monitor our accountability system in alignment
> with academic standards. These committees are a vital way in which we
> articulate our successes with other schools in the district.
>
> Carver's principal enthusiastically shares best practices during
> district Leadership Council meetings. She also attends monthly
> meetings with a cadre of administrators from other local districts,
> where curricular achievements are discussed.
>
> Several members of the Carver faculty are involved as both mentors and
> beginning teachers in the California *Beginning Teacher Support and
> Assessment* and the *Peer Assistance Review* programs. Both programs
> rely on experienced teachers to mentor others by sharing information,
> strategies, and materials. Beginning teachers find sharing with
> experienced teachers to be an excellent opportunity for discussing

## PART V.1 K.L. Carver Elementary School's core curriculum engages students with significant content based on high standards.

Carver School\'s strong academic program is based on rigorous standards.
In core instruction areas, students practice standards-based materials
chosen to support real-world learning and growth. Materials meet
California standards in the areas of language arts, math, social
studies, science, physical education, technology, and visual &
performing arts, while still focusing on the more individualized needs
of our student population.

**Language Arts:** All students read from the state recommended
standards-based Houghton Mifflin series and varied supplemental
materials (see section V.2a "Reading"). Selected curriculum gives
students the opportunity to achieve proficiency in writing, and each
grade level has specific writing prompts for portfolios to guide
assessment. After successful piloting in our 4th grade, *Step Up To
Writing* was selected for school-wide use. Speaking skills are practiced
from K-5 with strong content assignments and high levels of expectation.
By 5th grade, students give increasingly longer presentations; during
Famous Americans Week, they dress in costume and present first-person
narratives from historical figures to the younger classes.

**Math:** Instruction is based on the Harcourt Brace series, a
standard-aligned state text, and supplemental materials. Students
receive a strong core instruction to acquire skills. Teachers provide
other math experiences to reinforce learning (see section V.3 "Math").

**Social Studies:** Social Studies uses a standards based curriculum
from the Houghton Mifflin series, augmented at every grade level with
speakers and community-based field trips, encompassing the greater Los
Angeles area. Third grade teachers developed curriculum devoted to San
Marino history from 1600 to the present, and students visit historical
points of interest. One outstanding local resource is the renowned
Huntington Library and Gardens.

**Science:** Science curriculum is based on standards, and taught
through McMillan-McGraw Hill publications, hands-on experiments, and
supplemental materials. The core curriculum spirals through the grade
levels, reinforcing concepts through hands-on bi-weekly lessons in our
well-equipped science lab. Our science paraprofessionals teach the
scientific method, allowing students to use tools such as spring scales
and graduated cylinders. Field trips and visiting scientists enhance our
program.

**Physical Education:** All students participate in half hour daily P.E.
classes in grades 1-5, taught by our full-time credentialed P.E.
teacher. Our standards based program provides 300 minutes per 10 school
days, far exceeding the state mandates. In 2004, 80% of our 5th graders
passed at least 5 of 6 mandated physical fitness tests. Several P.E.
units are integrated with academics including Character Counts,
astronomy activities, horseshoes, muscles and bones. Of course our
exceptional P.E. curriculum builds our students' physical health, but
also addresses emotional and social health and well being, allowing for
a higher level of academic performance.

**Technology:** Our district's technology curriculum identifies specific
computer skills to be mastered at each grade level. In our
state-of-the-art computer lab, students in all grades, K-5, learn these
skills in weekly lessons taught by our Computer Lab Director. Activities
are integrated with classroom lessons, ensuring both computer literacy
and support of core curriculum.

**Visual & Performing Arts:** Each class attends monthly art lessons
with our paraprofessional art teacher in our spacious art center.
Students learn art history through exposure to great art and artists of
the world, and develop an appreciation of art as they use various
mediums to produce their own artworks. Art lessons are also integrated
with each grade level's core curriculum in their own classrooms. All
students have works displayed at the annual evening Art Festival. Our
PTA funds workshops through the Los Angeles Music Center in which our
students participate with visiting artists in hands-on productions in
drama, dance, mime, folk music, and opera. Many 5^th^ graders
participate in the band program, and 2^nd^ graders learn to play the
recorder. Winter and spring choral productions involve all students.

Teachers integrate multiple areas of curriculum in daily classroom
lessons. Students' scores on standardized tests consistently reflect the
quality of instruction.

**Part V.2a: K.L. Carver Elementary School's Reading Curriculum**

Carver school has an exceptionally effective reading curriculum, which
clearly addresses the California standards at every grade level and
provides standards-based material to each student, including those in
our English Language Development (ELD) and Resource Specialist programs.
Our school adopted the Houghton Mifflin Reading series---the better fit
of the two state-adopted texts to the needs of Carver students. Teachers
received training for both Houghton Mifflin Reading and *Step Up To
Writing*, a program adopted to strengthen the writing component of our
program. In an effort to elevate children's understanding in all
subjects, and their real-world applications, teachers learned strategies
to teach expository text more effectively.

Our curriculum fosters a love of reading, encouraging and rewarding
students' progress. Students participate in reading incentive programs
such as: Accelerated Reader which is accessed in the computer lab,
library, and every classroom; the PTA Reading Incentive Program; and
individual classroom reading awards. Daily class time is devoted to
students reading individually and with others, and school-wide special
days are designated for cross-grade reading (Book Day, Comfy Day, Dr.
Seuss Day). Carver supports national programs, such as *NEA Read Across
America*, Pizza Hut sponsored *Book-It Program*, and *Scholastic Inc.'s
Reading Program*. Students are also given opportunities to distinguish
themselves in myriad ways, including bookmark and poetry anthology
contests. All Carver students are empowered to become highly literate
individuals.

Carver School's Library, built purposefully in the center of campus to
be the easily accessible and welcoming heart of our school, is a central
hub for students. All 628 students visit the library weekly, borrowing
from the impressive 12,000+ book collection of fiction and non-fiction
titles. The library is open all day during school hours, including
recesses, and two days a week after school. Students are read to by
parents, the principal, and 5^th^ grade students weekly in our special
reading room. Library materials reflect the cultures of our school's
population, and include an impressive video collection and teachers'
resource materials.

**Part V.3: K.L. Carver Elementary School's math curriculum relates to
essential skills and knowledge based on our school's mission.**

> Carver School has an outstanding math program, which reflects our
> school-wide mission that all students be given many opportunities for
> success and empowered as life-long learners. We adopted the Harcourt
> Math series to provide challenging standards-based math curriculum
> with a text that includes *reteach, practice*, and *challenge* levels
> in order to address each student's needs. Multiple approaches help
> students acquire and retain skills, including *Marcy Cook Math Labs*,
> *Math on the Wall*, and *Problem of the Day* assessments. Our teachers
> encourage hands-on learning, supplying manipulatives at all grade
> levels to supplement rote learning with real-world problem solving.
>
> The District Accountability Design Team developed math anchor
> assessments to be administered three times per year from K-5, to
> assess our students\' math skills and knowledge. To reach each child
> individually, our speech therapist and ELD teacher assist students
> with math vocabulary and help them to process story problems. Saxon
> materials supplement math instruction in grades 1 and 5. Essential
> skills and knowledge are acquired through a sequential curriculum,
> with a spiral review at regular intervals.

Carver School\'s mission also urges a collaborative environment for
teachers. Using our text for diagnostics, our teachers have worked
extensively in grade level teams to help map the mathematics curriculum
and to revise math benchmarks. Together, Carver teachers attended five
in-services devoted to promoting the California standards math program.
Teachers were trained in problem solving techniques, vocabulary
development, and sequential skills, including algebra. Today, our
teachers still meet to dialogue and create lesson plans reinforcing and
implementing what they learned with consistent strategies across grade
levels. Teachers have also created curriculum based on our challenging
San Marino Unified School District standards.

**Part V.4: K.L. Carver Elementary School teachers use a variety of
instructional methods to improve student learning.**

At Carver, our staff works diligently and creatively to meet the
individual needs of all students as they strive to meet and exceed
standards. A wide variety of strategies come into play; whole class
instruction, small group instruction, student pairs, and individual
instruction. Grouping of students is both homogeneous and heterogeneous,
with teacher-directed lessons and peer tutoring in classrooms. Teachers
use proven questioning strategies and response techniques, which allow
them to receive immediate feedback on student understanding. Materials
are carefully selected to best serve all our student population, meeting
the needs of English learners, learning disabled students, and students
of different ethnicities. Teachers are trained to use a variety of
inclusion strategies, enabling all students to have access to regular
core curriculum.

In classrooms, units of study are revised and modified as needed to meet
the needs of all students, with attention to reaching at-risk students.
Teachers work together with specialists to form a *Student Success
Team*; specialists include the Resource Specialist, the English Language
Development Teacher, Special Day Class Teacher, Psychologist, Speech &
Language Pathologist, Adaptive P.E. Specialist, and Occupational
Therapist. Interventions are documented to include action plans; if it
is evident that a student needs more help, a referral for special
testing is generated to identify sources of assistance. An
Individualized Educational Plan may be discussed with parents and staff,
to focus on child specific needs that help move a student to grade level
ability. Close one-on-one instruction and ongoing collaboration between
classroom teachers help us meet the individual needs of each student.

Carver provides for the needs of its high ability students in the
regular classroom through the implementation of differentiated
instruction, curriculum compacting, content acceleration, tiered
assignments, flexible grouping, independent study, leadership
opportunities, and enrichment activities. Through the use of varied
instructional methods, Carver strives to ensure the best possible
learning experiences for every child.

**Part V.5: K.L. Carver Elementary School's professional development
program positively impacts student achievement.**

Teachers in the district are provided with staff development
opportunities to learn how to implement the state adopted standards
based materials. The district annually provides two mandatory staff
development days, with a third optional day. Recently, staff members
used these days for activities such as designing math anchor
assessments, analyzing state standards and frameworks, and receiving
language arts training. Motivational guest speakers, such as Jim
Trelease and Rick Morris, have helped teachers to positively impact
student achievement with new and exciting techniques. Professional
development is connected to the school plan and is based on site
priorities and individual learning needs of teachers.

Teachers have school-sponsored opportunities to attend conferences.
Specialized training is provided for teachers with particular needs; for
instance, new teachers receive training in the referral process for
students who are not meeting standards. There is opportunity for new
teachers to participate in *Peer Assistance Review* and the *Beginning
Teacher Support and Assessment*, California's mentoring programs. The
district offered training that focused on instructional strategies for
second language students. Teachers have received CPR and first aid
training, to maintain a safe environment for students.

We structure time for teachers to work together to make instructional
decisions, determine timing and yearly pacing for units of instruction,
and analyze student achievement data. Formal and informal meetings take
place regularly; eight faculty meetings per year are designated as grade
level team meetings, and two meetings are reserved for cross-grade level
articulation. Grade Level Chairmen and principal meet monthly to
maintain a continuous dialogue regarding the school program and make key
decisions about school policies, procedures, and curriculum. Our
collaborative culture and ongoing analysis of student performance drive
the direction of professional development, all focused on positively
impacting students.
