**PART III ‑ SUMMARY**

*Killian School's common vision is: Commitment to excellence for all and
by all students and staff,*

*through our dedication to provide a strong support system for
students;*

*provide a rigorous instructional program delivered with high
expectations for academic achievement; provide parent training and
encourage parent participation.*

The shared belief that together we can make great things happen truly
captures the spirit and vision of the staff and community. The vision
drives decision making in all areas; for students, staff, instruction,
and support systems. The vision is communicated through classroom
discussions, announcements, assemblies, posters, murals, banners, songs,
and stakeholder conversations. Each year we collaboratively develop a
theme which continually reminds the school community of our focus on
"Excellence." The yearly theme is carried throughout the school by
paintings on classroom windows, classroom bulletin boards, and the large
Student of the Month wall in the cafeteria exhibiting students'
pictures.

The expectation is that students and staff become life-long learners,
continually striving to be the best they can be. Killian promotes an
atmosphere that reflects a "Joy of Learning." The Community of Caring
values of: Respect, Responsibility, Trust, Caring, and Family are taught
and lived by both staff and students. At assemblies, students sing songs
about these values that were specially written for Killian by our band
teacher. Values promote an environment that is safe and nurturing.

Killian is nestled in the suburban community of Rowland Heights. There
are twenty-seven regular education classes and three Severely
Handicapped (autistic) Classes, one at the kindergarten level and two at
grades 4-6. All grade K-3 classes have a 20:1 ratio. A culturally rich
and diverse community surrounds Killian contributing to a student
population of 45% Asian, 36% Hispanic, 10% White, 4% Black, 6% Filipino,
45% Socio-economically Disadvantaged, 41% English Learners and 12% of
Students with Disabilities.

Killian staff is passionate about providing the highest standard of
student-centered instruction as possible. Staff meets often as
professionals who possess a compassionate, cooperative spirit to make
decisions on human resources, staff development, school-wide assessment,
parent involvement, curriculum development, instructional practices and
technology uses. Even as the Title I population has increased, we
continue to maintain high assessment scores, comparable with high
achieving non-Title I schools.

Killian is well-supported by parents and community groups: Killian
School Community Association (KSCA), School Site Council (SSC) and
English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC). Parent involvement is evident
in a variety of ways: volunteers, site committees and attendance at
district committees. Local business supports Killian students by
providing school incentive programs, donating items for events, and
giving discounts. More than 300 adults attend Adult Education classes
which are housed on Killian's campus. Education for students from birth
(Mommy & Me) through 90+ years of age is available from 6 am to 9 pm
daily and on Saturdays.

Students participate in extra-curricular activities supporting their
acquisition of social and academic skills: Cross-age Tutors, Student
Council leaders, Chorus, Regular Band, Jazz Band, Intramural Sports, Mad
Science Club, Chess Club, Drama Club and Young Rembrandts Art classes.
Killian's campus is shared in the afternoons and Saturdays with American
Chinese School which provides instruction in Mandarin, homework
assistance and English Language Development (ELD).

There is an ardent commitment to professionalism which is exemplified in
the collaborative and collegial manner the staff works together. Shared
leadership is evident throughout the school. Teachers, support staff,
parents, and community work in harmony to support student learning and
instructional effectiveness to best meet students' needs. Killian School
is a warm, supportive learning and growing environment committed to
excellence.

**PART IV -- INDICATORS OF ACADEMIC SUCCESS**

**1. Assessment Results:** Killian's 2006 California Standards Test
(CST) results showed an increase of 21 points, scoring 855 on the
California Academic Performance Index (API) and met federal
accountability requirements on Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Each of
Killian's numerically significant sub-population groups showed growth
with an average increase of 27 API points. These groups and percent of
students are: Asian 45%, Hispanic 36%, Economically Disadvantaged 45%,
and English Learners (EL) 38%. The Asian and EL subgroups consistently
score higher than the Hispanic and Economically Disadvantaged groups.
Analysis found that these scores correlate to parents' educational
levels.

State reports schools' scores in a format showing what percent has met,
plus exceeded state standards. The Proficient level reflects 75% correct
on the CST, meeting grade level expectations. Proficient students need
to have a scale score of 350-399. To exceed state standards (Advanced),
students need to have a scale score of 400-600. Analyzing the CST
Proficient/Advanced trend from 2004-05 to 2005-06, the English Language
Arts (ELA) all school score (grades 2-6) increased on an average of 7%,
the Asian subgroup increased 8%, the Hispanic subgroup increased 9%, the
Economically Disadvantaged group increased 6% and the EL group increased
20%. There were strong gains in ELA across the grade levels and within
the subgroups. In math, the total school score showed students increased
to Proficient/Advanced on an average of 6%. The Asian subgroup increased
to Proficient/Advanced 4%, Hispanic subgroup .6%, Economically
Disadvantaged subgroup 2%, and EL subgroup 20%.

Scale scores from 300-349 are Basic, scores 250-299 are Below-Basic and
scores lower than 250 are Far-Below-Basic. Basic is almost but not quite
up to grade level. Below-Basic students are one grade level or more
below state expectations. Far-Below-Basic students are significantly
below grade level by 2 or more years. In ELA, between the years 2002 and
2006, 13% of students moved from Below-Basic to Basic and 16% moved out
of the Far-Below-Basic category. In math, between the years 2002 and
2006, 32% of Below-Basic students moved to Basic and 4% moved up out of
the Far-Below-Basic category. Annually, Killian implements an average
additional 2,520 minutes of instruction time per grade level than the
state requirement. This extra instructional time promotes stronger
academic skills. Additional information on state scores can be found on
the web site <http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/>.

CST testing results showed a drop in scores for 2003-04. During that
particular testing window, Killian was under major facility
modernization. The school's air-conditioning was being replaced and
students tested in rooms without windows with temperatures exceeding 100
degrees. Teachers noted the adverse conditions dramatically affected
student stamina and performance during testing.

2005-06, California English Language Diagnostic Test (CELDT) reported
65% of Killian's EL students improved one level toward English
proficiency and are at levels Early Advanced or Advanced, demonstrating
13% above state expectations. Longitudinal studies show 55% of EL
students reached levels Early Advanced or Advanced within 4 years,
exceeding state expectations by 23%. Each EL student receives 30 minutes
daily of English Language Development (ELD) at their proficiency level.
The gain in EL scores can be attributed to focused, leveled ELD
instruction.

California tests 4^th^ graders on writing and 5^th^ graders on science
at the elementary level. In writing, 53% of Killian students scored
Proficient in 2006 as compared to 4% scoring Proficient in 2004. The
strong gains can be attributed to the implementation of Thinking Maps
and Write From The Beginning (WFTB) instruction. Science scores reflect
an increase of 17% from 2004 to the year 2006.

Killian consistently maintains scores that compare with high performing
schools even as Economically Disadvantaged and EL subgroups have
increased. Killian is the highest performing Title I school in the
district.

**2. Using Assessment Results:** Killian staff monitors school programs
for effectiveness using data from CST, district-developed benchmarks and
other assessments. At the beginning of each school year teachers analyze
longitudinal data in ELA, math, CELDT, writing, science and PE. Results
are discussed at staff meetings and at intensive day-long grade level
meetings with district and site administrators. Data is used to focus
teacher collaboration on research-based best-practices to improve
instruction and guide re-teaching. Students scoring below Proficient in
ELA are offered interventions including before /after school tutoring.
Flexible and differentiated group instruction is utilized by teachers.
In math, students are grouped for instructional needs. Grade 3-6
students scoring Advanced are considered for the Gifted and Talented
(GATE) program.

EL students are assessed regularly by state and RUSD benchmark tests.
Through on-going support**,** 20% more EL students scored Advanced on
the CST since year 2002-03. Killian reclassified 10% of EL students to
Fluent English in the spring of 2006, exceeding state, county and
district elementary school averages. Reclassified student progress is
continually monitored to maintain proficiency.

Assessment data assists in identifying students with special needs. A
Child Study Team (classroom /RSP teachers, psychologist, parent and
principal) reviews individual student's psychological and academic test
results and writes a specific Individual Education Plan (IEP) for
identified students.

Standardized and criterion-referenced assessment results are analyzed by
parents and staff in the fall; targeted gap analysis and pacing guides
are written to indicate specific student need areas, which are
incorporated into the Killian School Plan for Student Achievement
(SPSA). Identified needs are supported by tutoring, targeted training
/conferences for teachers and parents, supplemental materials and
additional guidance services. Killian starts academic analysis with a
macro to the micro approach from district, school, grade level, to
teacher. Emphasis on improving the first instruction students receive
has led Killian to implement Thinking Map and WFTB strategies.

**3. Communicating Assessment Results:** Understanding the importance of
communicating with various stakeholders, Killian shares information
about student academic performance in a variety of ways: First Day of
School Celebration, official CST reports, school newsletters,
assemblies, special meetings, website, newspapers, SSC/ELAC, Killian
School Community Association (KSCA), progress reports, report cards, and
through conferences (parent and student). Throughout the year the
principal holds discussions with individual 4^th^, 5^th^ and 6^th^ grade
students regarding their personal assessment results.

Parents are mailed their child's state, CST, and CELDT reports in their
home language. Teachers discuss and interpret CST, CELDT, Rowland
Unified School District (RUSD) benchmarks, and various assessments with
parents during conferences. Translators /translations (Chinese, Spanish,
Korean) are available throughout the year to assist non-English speaking
parents to better understand their child's progress.

General assessment results are shared at parents' meeting on the First
Day of School Celebration. Throughout the year parents are invited to
various meetings to discuss student performance, explaining assessment
tied to standards. Weekly Morning Break Club provides an excellent
opportunity to work with parents to support student learning. Training
parents in Thinking Map, ELA and math strategies enables them to work
more successfully with their children.

API and AYP information is thoroughly discussed at staff meetings, grade
level meetings, and SSC/ELAC meetings, explaining disaggregated scores
and rankings (state-wide and similar schools rankings), helping target
programs and resources to support student learning.

Information on Killian's Website and articles in the school newsletter
help explain API and AYP scores and rankings to a wider range of
parents, as well as to the community. Killian's 36 community business
partners receive copies of the monthly newsletter to assist them in
knowing /understanding Killian School.

**4. Sharing Success:** RUSD encourages schools to share successes with
all support services to maintain the focus on students. Killian shares
information with other schools in a variety of ways: monthly District
Leadership Team (DLT), consisting of all RUSD superintendents,
principals, vice principals, department directors (student assessment,
special education, pupil services, curriculum development, bilingual
education, technology services, risk management, purchasing services,
fiscal services, building services); Elementary Division Meetings
(biweekly meetings with the 15 elementary school principals and the
Deputy Superintendent); Vice Principal meetings; School Leadership Team
meetings with 5 other schools (Cohort Teams); and Grade Level meetings
with 3 schools (Diagnostic Teams).

CST data is shared with DLT in August, disaggregated data is presented
and schools' successes shared. Killian's EL improvement was highlighted
and rationale for student improvement shared. During Elementary Division
meetings**,** best instructional practices are discussed, successes
shared, and decisions made for additional training for administrators
/teachers.

Killian's principal participates in a Cohort with 5 other principals.
Cohort Teams attend annual training sessions to promote 'collaborative
conversations' during staff and grade level meetings throughout the
year. School teams discuss successful instructional practices, as they
create and implement 'collaborative conversations' at their school sites
to increase support for student success.

Killian with 2 other schools (Diagnostic Teams) hold grade level
meetings with their principals and the Director of Student Assessment.
CST disaggregated data is analyzed and successful strategies shared.
District assessment data is reviewed, student responses analyzed,
strategies for improvement discussed, and successes articulated.

Cohort Teams (including principals) will continue to meet, train, plan,
and discuss successes. Grade level meetings (horizontal /same grades and
vertical /different grade levels) for the Diagnostic Teams will meet to
analyze disaggregated data, and discuss best practices next fall. In
2007-2008, the grade levels from the Diagnostic Teams will meet two to
three times to further discuss successful strategies to best support
student needs.

**PART V -- CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION**

**1. Curriculum:** Data served as a catalyst clearly indicating
students' 'knowledge' level was not lacking, but higher level thinking
was needed. As a result, Thinking Maps and WFTB are implemented as a
tool to clarify and expand comprehension throughout the curriculum. All
curricula are aligned to the rigorous California Content Standards.

ELA: The K-5 Houghton Mifflin and Holt (6^th^) adoptions expose all
students to quality literature-based reading including ongoing
standard-aligned assessments. Students receive systematic instruction in
phonics, phonemic awareness, comprehension and thinking skills, writing,
grammar, mechanics, spelling, and engage in meaningful activities to
increase /reinforce reading skills. Students have access to interactive
computer programs to enhance literacy learning (Reading Counts,
Renaissance Fluent Reader).

Math: Harcourt (K-5) and McDougal (6^th^) adoptions develop students\'
understanding of basic math concepts, logical reasoning, problem solving
strategies and computational accuracy. Manipulatives, mental math
activities, calculators, computer software, graphing activities,
calendar strategies support /extend learning and application of math
into real-life experiences. Excel Math, Mountain Math, and Daily Math
Practice support the adopted text. Second - 4^th^ grades participate in
the M.I.N.D. Institute (researched based Math + Music program: piano
keyboarding and computerized conceptual math). Top achieving 6^th^ grade
math students take Algebra I, enabling them to continue accelerated math
curriculum in secondary education. Students (1-6^th^) enjoy
participating in after school Chess Club which encourages higher level
thinking application.

ELD: English Learner (EL) goals are: 1) provide a well-articulated,
sequential developmental program establishing proficiency in listening,
speaking, reading and writing,  2) ensure access to grade level core
curriculum, 3) foster positive socio-cultural adjustment. Hampton Brown
(adopted curriculum), as well as Singlish, Let\'s Talk About It, Let\'s
Sing About It, and Just The Right Word (support curriculum) are used to
build fluency. EL students participate in before /after school
intervention instruction using interactive computer based [English in a
Flash]{.underline}.

Science: The Harcourt adoption, supports the principle all children
develop knowledge of, and ability to use tools /processes of scientific
inquiry. Students engage in investigating /learning health and science
concepts through activities and experiments, throughout all three
disciplines of science: life, earth and physical. Group projects and
take home assignments allow students to extend /practice their science
knowledge. Field trips to museums, zoos, and Outdoor Science School
(6^th^ grade) gives students opportunities to experience the natural
world around them. After school Mad Science sessions provide additional
fun lab experiences.

Social Studies: Harcourt K-5 and McDougal 6^th^ adoptions focus learning
on groups of people, respect /responsibility, the necessity for groups
to work together, cultural diversity /traditions, geographical locations
and relationships, important historical characters and events. K-3
curriculum increases students' knowledge from self, family, community,
expanding to larger geographical areas. Fourth grade focuses on history
/geography of California. Fifth graders study U.S. history /geography
emphasizing the founding of our country. Sixth grade students learn the
history /geography of ancient civilizations. Students learn about the
life, art, architecture and tools ancient people developed and used. The
adoptions include technology that supports and expands student
understanding. Textbooks are additionally available on line or on
individual CDs. Killian's fieldtrips support social studies curriculum
(Gold Miners, 27^th^ Regiment a Foot, museums).

Physical Education: Students develop skills building physical fitness,
flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and activities
encouraging positive attitudes toward maintaining healthy bodies.
Instruction specificity increases as students move through grade levels.
Included are: rhythmic dance, skill lessons, sportsmanship, safe use of
playground equipment, which develop skills leading to organized games.
Students receive instruction from teachers and a P.E. specialist (K-6).
Supervised games during lunch recess and after school intramural sports
teams are provided. Fourth - 6^th^ grade students compete with other
schools in soccer, softball, and basketball.

Visual & Performing Arts: See Section V, part 3

**2a. Elementary School:** **Reading:** Houghton Mifflin (K-5) and Holt
(6^th^) adoptions were selected as the best California state curriculum
option matching RUSD's philosophy of reading. It is a well balanced
literacy program, aligned to rigorous state standards for reading,
writing, listening, and speaking, and includes a healthy English Learner
component. Due to Killian's diverse demographics (language, cultural,
ethnic, and socio-economic) we recognize no one core package is totally
complete, therefore we implement additional literacy support. Thinking
Maps, Reading Recovery, Making Meaning, reciprocal teaching, leveled
reading strategies, and guided reading strategies additionally support
fluency and comprehension. Textual reading is supported through social
studies and science text books. Various instructional strategies
(including Thinking Maps and WFTB) are used to best challenge student
thinking.

Reading is encouraged and promoted through monthly reading logs, Reading
Counts (computer program testing comprehension) and Book Adventure
(internet based reading comprehension program). Incentives for students
keeping accurate reading logs, signed by parents, include a special
holiday craft workshop, a special assembly (story teller), and a
barbeque lunch with site administrators. Reading Counts ribbons are
presented each trimester at assemblies. Olympic (like) Medals are
awarded for each grade level's students earning the Bronze, Silver, and
Gold for the most points earned based on individual reading levels. All
students are motivated to earn points and raise their reading lexile
levels.

English Learners at the beginning levels are encouraged to attend daily
before /after school sessions working on English language development
and reading fluency using technology in the Renaissance program. As
students advance they use special headphones to record themselves and
improve speaking and comprehension skills. EL students appear to enjoy
tutoring and their strong gains on CST assessment indicates program
strength. Time, consideration and care have gone into developing and
expanding student support with research based best teaching strategies
and materials to optimally support student learning.

**3. Additional Curriculum Area: Visual and Performing Arts (VPA):**
Killian's mission emphasizes \"whole child\" development, giving
students a strong, quality visual performing arts
education. Credentialed vocal music specialist provides standards based
instruction to grades 1-6. \"Movement through Music\" curriculum
incorporates singing, games and movements to music.  School chorus is
offered to grades 4-6 culminating with a district honor choral festival.
Credentialed band and string instrument teachers work with students
twice a week. The band teacher travels to Killian on a bus, the "Music
Machine," specially remodeled as a traveling band room. Additional
weekly practice for band and orchestra students is provided.
Instrumental music students have the opportunity to play for school
activities, in parades, and to participate in district elementary jazz
band that performs for the community. The M.I.N.D. music and math
program teaches piano keyboarding skills using both hands to develop
both sides of the brain. During instruction, students listen to
classical piano, learn terms, timing, and application.

Every year various grade levels participate in music /drama
performances. Teachers enhance classroom instruction with poems, songs,
plays and visual arts. Field trips to Cerritos Performing Arts Center,
Music Center and Disney Hall offer students a chance to see quality
professional plays and dancing. Professional and high school
performances at assemblies enrich student experiences. Art projects are
displayed at Open House, in the district office and at the LA County
Fair. Young Rembrandts after school art club gives direct instruction on
art techniques. Killian classes partner with a local high school in
creating art projects of clay, books and plays. Multicultural Day
expands student knowledge in the arts. Parents, community members, high
school and Killian students share cultures through dance, music and art
projects. At the Summer Arts Academy students create and perform in a
VPA extravaganza. Killian's VPA supports the commitment to excellence
for all and by all students and staff.

**4. Instructional Methods:** Direct instruction has always been the
first choice for teaching all students, but as classroom needs vary
teachers felt the need to utilize differentiated instruction throughout
the day. Preview, review or reteaching of concepts is frequently
integrated into lessons for students with EL /at-risk needs. Flexible
grouping within math and language arts instruction assists students in
learning necessary skills and concepts. Teachers implement leveled
reading /instructional groups for comprehension skills and to practice
fluency. Cooperative grouping facilitates student understanding in all
curricular areas. Students learn responsibility, work together for a
common goal, and utilize different talents of each group
member. Tutoring is offered for students on intervention plans both
before /after school. All EL students receive 30 minutes of leveled
instruction daily. Small group instruction allows EL students to
practice in a safe, supportive environment. EL students work on computer
programs designed to build vocabulary, fluency and math concepts. Fluid
math grouping in grades 3-6 allows students to learn at their own pace,
accelerated for advanced students and provide groups additional review
and practice when necessary. Reciprocal teaching strengthens questioning
and leadership techniques. The powerful Thinking Map instructional
strategies develop teacher and student organization and application of
higher level thinking on Bloom's Taxonomy. Students create Thinking Maps
to clarify comprehension and plan their writing. Write From The
Beginning implemented from Kinder to 6^th^ grade builds articulated
writing skills across the grade levels. Grades 1-6 receive instruction
on the application of technology from a credentialed technology expert,
enabling students to expand knowledge and acquire methods of research to
create presentations.

**5. Professional Development:** Killian's focused staff development has
a positive impact on student achievement as demonstrated by assessment
scores. Staff development is inclusive, supporting staff as life long
learners. New teachers attend a series of district inservices (Elements
of Instruction, Brain Compatible Strategies, Class Discipline, Literacy)
and are paired with on-site BTSA (Beginning Teacher Support Advisor)
providers for two years. Each new adoption consists of district-training
for school on-site pilot teachers who become experts supporting the
implementation. Teachers collaborate to determine areas of focus. TOT's
(Trainers of teachers) are initially trained, practice and refine
strategies, then train staff. This practice has been successful with
implementing WFTB, Thinking Maps and Guided Language Acquisition
Development (GLAD) training. Killian's literacy coach demonstrates
lessons and works with teachers to refine strategies. Staff work with
site administrators establishing professional growth goals, and are
encouraged to attend trainings, conferences and share information with
peers. Trainings include: Building Early Literacy, Reciprocal Teaching,
Guided Reading, Power of Full Engagement, Effective Direct Instruction
(EDI), WFTB, Advanced Thinking Maps, AVID (Advancement Via Individual
Determination program), Collaborative Leadership training, and M.I.N.D.
(Math + Music). Teachers attend the California Association of Gifted
(CAG), CA Reading, CA Math, and Technology Conferences. Training has
been a catalyst to engage staff in additional best practices, resulting
in improved teaching strategies and student learning. Our principal
attends on-going leadership training in Cognitive Coaching and
Walk-Through Coaching. Classified personnel receive on-going training in
technology, safety, health, and behavior modification. Various parent
trainings are offered throughout the year in a variety of areas: Parent
Involvement Academy, How to Help Your Child in Reading, Thinking Map
Strategies, and parent discipline techniques. Staff development is based
on gap analysis, determining school-wide areas needing support for
optimum student learning. The long range staff development plan is based
on student need and developed by staff.
