# Part III -- Summary

Palomares Elementary School is dedicated to challenging students to
rigorous academic standards and providing a school climate where
students can and do achieve their fullest potential in a unique learning
environment. Our mission of striving for excellence, instilling a
commitment to life-long learning, developing an appreciation for
diversity by promoting culturally-enriched learning experiences, and
becoming responsible citizens through decisions that respect ourselves,
others, and the environment is embraced by staff, students, parents, and
our community.

Palomares School is a part of the history and heritage of Castro Valley,
an unincorporated town of 60,000 situated at the heart of the San
Francisco Bay area. The school was built in 1868 on property that was
part of a Spanish Land Grant owned by Guillermo Castro. At that time,
Palomares was its own school district in this ranching and farming
community. The original one-room schoolhouse was used until 1955, when
increased enrollment necessitated construction of a three-room building
across the bridge spanning Palomares Creek. We have since added three
classrooms, a modern office/library; and most recently a
state-of-the-art Science Center, funded by a district bond, was
constructed and provides students a laboratory for scientific
exploration. Modernization will occur summer of 2005.

Palomares is the smallest of the nine elementary schools in Castro
Valley. Our 128 students are comprised of 41% minority populations with
eight different languages spoken at home. The Palomares community is
composed of predominantly middle and working class families who make the
commitment to be involved in their child's academic and social growth.
Families are clearly an integral part of our school community as they
participate in many of our culturally-enriched learning opportunities
including: Welcome Back Potluck, Harvest Festival, Thanksgiving Feast,
Winter Performing Arts Program, Fine Arts and Music Festival, Animal and
Science Day, Family Literacy, Cesar Chavez Service-Learning projects,
Heritage Day, Math Around the World, Science evening, Watershed
Festival, Friday Flag ceremony, Community Outreach, buddy activities,
and our End of the Year Awards Assembly.

As teachers strive for excellence, not only in themselves but also for
the instruction of the students in their classrooms, all staff members
continue to be trained in research-based instructional strategies in
English Language Arts, math, science, and fine arts. On-going site-based
staff development and collaboration, district and site committees, and
attendance at state and national conferences that support teacher
professionalism result in significant improvements in instruction and
student achievement. Teachers implement a standards-based integrated
curriculum that embeds assessments to inform instructional practice and
to ensure student achievement and the effectiveness of daily
instruction.

Palomares School, several community groups, and local agencies have
recognized the value of our 20-acre natural preserve as an outdoor
learning environment and as a demonstration site for watershed
restoration, education, and stewardship. Students, parents, and staff
are actively involved in many service-learning projects that apply
grade-level standards in real-life learning experiences. Teachers are
committed to connecting classroom instruction with unique and wide
ranging opportunities offered through our access to the watershed, such
as working side-by-side with scientists, engineers, and biologists. The
school community and established partnerships have been instrumental in
securing grants totaling approximately \$290,500 for the Palomares
Watershed Project and school programs for our students. Established
partnerships include: Castro Valley Education Foundation, Alameda County
Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Alameda Countywide Clean
Water Program, Resource Conservation District, USDA Natural Resource
Conservation Service, Environmental Protection Agency, Castro Valley
Sanitary District, Alameda County Integrated Waste Management Authority,
Washington Mutual, and Wells Fargo.

Our high test scores, small size, and exceptional learning environment
attract many families, making Palomares a school of choice.

# 

# PART IV -- INDICATORS OF ACADEMIC SUCCESS 

**1. Palomares' assessment results**

Palomares fully participates in California's State Testing and Reporting
(STAR) program, which is used to evaluate the performance of students in
grades 2-11. The STAR program is comprised of two main elements: the
California Standards Test (CST) and a nationally-normed (NRT)
achievement test. Student achievement at Palomares school has shown
continuous improvement for students on state assessments. The results of
these two assessments are then factored into the school's Academic
Performance Index (API) score.

The [California Standards Test]{.underline} is a criterion-referenced
test that shows our students' achievement levels relative to state
standards in the areas of English/Language Arts and Mathematics. The
California Department of Education (CDE) approved five performance
levels, which include: Far Below Basic, Below Basic, Basic, Proficient,
and Advanced. The reported results indicate the percentage of students
in each designated performance level. California's goal is for all
students to score at the Proficient or the Advanced level. Students at
Palomares achieve at high levels in both English/Language Arts and
Mathematics while consistently outperforming the state average. The 2004
CST **English/Language Arts (ELA)** data (Tables A-D) indicate the
percentage of students performing Proficient or Advanced. Our results
show: 55% of students in Grade 2, 69% of students in Grade 3, 79% of
students in Grade 4 and 93% of students in Grade 5. The data supports
that students who remain at Palomares demonstrate an increase in ELA
proficiency. Our 2004 CST **Mathematics** data (Tables E-H) indicate the
percentage of students performing Proficient or Advanced. Our results
show: 90% of students in Grade 2, 79% of students in Grade 3, 84% of
students in Grade 4 and 92% of students in Grade 5. Over the last four
years, the percent of students scoring below Proficient continues to
decrease as measured on the CST.

The [Nationally normed-referenced test]{.underline} [(NRT]{.underline})
is currently the California Achievement Test, Sixth Edition (CAT/6).
From 1999-2002, the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT-9) was the NRT
administered to students in grades 2-11. National percentile rankings
compare our students' achievement scores to national norms. Students are
considered to be at standard if they score at or above the 50^th^
percentile on this standardized test. The 2004 CAT/6 data (Tables I-P)
illustrates the percentage of students who are performing at or above
the 50^th^ percentile on the Total Reading and Total Math sections.
**Total Reading** results show: 60% of students in Grade 2, 75% of
students in Grade 3, 68% of students in Grade 4, and 84% of students in
Grade 5. **Total Math**: 65% of students in Grade 2, 75% of students in
Grade 3, 89% of students in Grade 4, and 77% of students in Grade 5.

[Disparities among Subgroups:]{.underline} It is important to emphasize
that due to Palomares' small student population, most subgroups are not
numerically significant for State reporting (see Part II, #6). On each
of the tables in the appendices, we have indicated an asterisk when the
number of students tested is less that ten in a particular subgroup.

[Disaggregated data]{.underline} for our three numerically significant
subgroups (female, male, white-not Hispanic) show that the percentage of
students scoring Proficient or Advanced in each of these subgroups is
significantly higher than the state for both English/Language Arts and
Mathematics (Tables A-H).

[Academic Performance Index (API)]{.underline} is part of California's
accountability system that annually measures the academic performance
and progress of individual schools. The API score can range from 200 to
1000 but the state has set 800 as the API score schools should strive to
meet. Palomares has increased its statewide ranking from a score of 803
to 899 over four years.

Additional information on the STAR Program can be found at the CDE
Website (<http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/>).

**2.** **Palomares uses assessment data to understand and improve
student and school** **performance**

Palomares staff believes that meaningful assessment is fundamental to
powerful instruction and student performance in order for students to
successfully meet or exceed state and district adopted standards. Our
comprehensive assessment program includes a careful analysis of the
following data to ascertain if individual students and subgroups are
making significant progress: current STAR results; the California
Standards Test (CST) in ELA and Math; the CAT-6, including disaggregated
data by student characteristics; and local multiple measures assessments
in reading and math. The California English Language Development Test
(CELDT), which measures English proficiency for English Language Learner
(ELL) is compared with CST to monitor grade-level proficiency and
progress for our redesignated ELL students.

Both formal and informal assessment data provides evidence of the
effectiveness of the instructional program, informs decisions for
setting new performance goals, and identifies additional intervention
services that will support student achievement. Formal analysis of data
helps identify achievement gaps and students who are at-risk. For
students not meeting standards, an individual intervention-learning plan
outlines a systematic process to improve student proficiency. The plan
includes developmentally appropriate strategies such as classroom
modifications, establishing benchmarks, and after-school academic
intervention. These strategies are carefully monitored by the teacher
and parent and restructured when necessary. The staff recognizes the
importance of authentic informal assessments and embeds ongoing
techniques into daily instruction. Teachers use effective methods of
monitoring student progress, which include: student journals, scientific
notebooks, project-based learning, rubrics, anchor papers, and
teacher-student conferences. Collaboration time is used to analyze
student work, evaluate instructional strategies, and plan the
implementation of core curriculum.

As student performance is analyzed, goals are established, and
professional development is aligned with these goals and included in our
action plans, and resources are allocated to support these areas. The
findings from the data are also used to update our school's Single Plan
for Student Achievement, which is in alignment with our district's Local
Education Agency Plan (LEAP).

**3.** **Palomares communicates data to parents, students, and
community**

Communication is fundamental for improving student achievement.
Palomares parents, students and community stay abreast of student
performance in a variety of ways. Results of state and local assessment
data, including achievement gaps, low-performing disaggregated
subgroups, performance goals, and action plans are used to update our
school's yearly Single Plan for Student Achievement. Our plan is
submitted to the School Board for approval.

Each year, we proudly share our philosophy and accomplishments with the
community in our School Accountability Report Card (SARC), which is
accessible through our District and school websites. The Palomares
Post-It (school newsletter), teachers' newsletters, Student-Parent
Handbook, and the District's Grade-Level Standards booklets offer
ongoing information about our standards-based curriculum. The importance
of helping students achieve our vision by meeting or exceeding standards
and student achievement expectations has been well communicated to our
community during discussions at Back to School Night, School Site
Council meetings, and Parent Education nights. During parent-teacher
conferences, parents become well informed of assessment results and
grade level standards are clarified. When needed, individualized
intervention-learning plans for low-performing students are written
collaboratively by the teacher, parent, and student. Each plan indicates
a follow-up conference to review and revise learning goals. Parents and
students formally receive a standards-based report card three times a
year indicating student progress toward mastery of grade level
standards. All ELL students receive the English Language Development
Supplementary Progress Report, which is informative in communicating
achievement of ELL standards. To ensure understanding for our
non-English speaking families, a bilingual certificated translator meets
with Spanish-speaking families and the classroom teacher. Ongoing
communication in Spanish assists with teacher notes, test results,
intervention plans, and office notices.

**4. Palomares shares successes with other schools**

Palomares School is proud of its students' achievement and takes every
occasion to share information and successes through a number of
collaborative forums with other teachers, schools, and the community.
Active participation on district-wide curriculum committees such as
Language Arts, Math, Technology, GATE, Social Studies, Visual and
Performing Arts, Science, and English Language Learners has enabled our
staff to work with other teachers on a regular basis. Two teachers are
District Instructional Leaders teaching Best Practices for Intermediate
Literacy in reading and writing and Science Integration. Palomares
collaborates monthly with another elementary school focusing on sharing
success with specific curriculum integration, differentiation, and
evaluation of students work. Student teachers are placed at Palomares
from California State University Hayward and St Mary's College where new
teachers work intensively with our teachers learning how to implement a
successful instructional program.

Other ways for communicating our successful programs and practices are:
school website-http://www.palomares.cv.k12.ca.us along with our district
website for student achievement results, School Accountability Report
Card which is sent to all families and posted on our school link,
monthly school newsletter are sent to all schools, and Parent-Teacher
monthly newsletter, School leaders attend the Superintendent's monthly
meetings with other school leaders in our district K-12, bi-weekly
principal meetings, and our yearly School Board presentation.

Our successful programs continue to be shared with our local, county,
and federal partnerships in conjunction with our standards-based
integrated watershed program. During the Watershed Restoration Ceremony,
25 docents (students and teachers) conducted creek tours for 35
officials-such as County Supervisor Nate Miley's office, Assemblymember
Ellen Corbett's office, USDA-NRCS, Alameda County Flood Control, and
Castro Valley Unified School District school board members. The local
newspapers have also communicated our successes in several news articles
over the past few years. The Palomares staff will continue to share
their success and learn from others, which reinforces our belief
statement: We work together to ensure success for all students in a
nurturing, safe environment, inspire students to strive for excellence,
and instill a commitment to life-long learning.

## PART V -- CURRICULUM

**1. Palomares' Curriculum Design**

Palomares School is committed to providing a quality environment for
students learning. We celebrate learning as an engaging and dynamic
experience while providing the inspiration for life-long learning
through the implementation of positive, effective approaches to
education that build a sound academic foundation and promote self-esteem
and interpersonal skills. We are dedicated to the success for all
students and believe that our goals are attainable through a
well-articulated standards-based program, which focuses on the strengths
and learning needs of each student. All students, including those in
GATE, special education, English Language Learners, and at-risk are
immersed in daily standards-aligned instruction in our core curriculum
as teachers implement interdisciplinary techniques, including
project-based learning, enabling students to make connections across
disciplines and into the world around them.

The strength of our **Reading/Language Arts** program is aligning
instruction with standards, using formative assessment to inform daily
instruction coupled with the implementation of research based
instructional practices. Our balanced program integrates reading,
writing, listening, and speaking. Lessons emphasize systematic
instruction that provides students with a solid foundation in phonemic
awareness, phonics, vocabulary development and comprehension. The
effective practices that support continuous progress in reading are:
read alouds, word study, shared reading and writing, guided reading
using leveled fiction and non-fiction selections, and guided and
interactive writing. Students use written language to communicate across
the curriculum and evaluate their writing using rubrics and peer
editing.

**Mathematics** instruction is a balance of conceptual development,
skill building, and problem solving, with an emphasis on developing
mathematical understanding and vocabulary. Multiple math strands are
integrated and implemented through real-life applications, supporting
our adopted Houghton-Mifflin math series. Staff utilizes best practices
for math instruction including direct instruction, problem solving, and
hands-on work using manipulatives. For example, students designed a
garden, calculated costs for the volume of soil needed for the planters
and the footage of deer fencing needed for the perimeter.

**Science** provides an integrated context for learning at Palomares.
Through participation in the Palomares Creek Watershed Project, students
engage in real-life inquiry-based scientific research that is embedded
into the four strands (life, earth, physical sciences and investigation
and experimentation). Such as, students tested the percolation rate of
soils along the creek and compared run-off rates between bare and
vegetated areas. Results are used to inform the community about causes
and effects of erosion and how to prevent or control it. Integrated
standards-aligned lessons provide students with the skills and knowledge
to learn concepts and principles expected at each grade level using a
hands-on approach.

Our standards-based **Social Studies** curriculum includes geography,
current events, and highlights the roles of significant individuals and
time periods throughout history. Integrated lessons teach students how
to conduct research, prepare for oral presentations, and complete
long-term projects. Our school-wide character education program
emphasizes citizenship by assisting students in the development of life
skills such as respect, effort, responsibility, confidence, citizenship,
fairness, and compassion.

**Visual and performing arts** are integrated throughout the curriculum.
From a historical perspective, students learn about famous artists and
their techniques, artistic expression, and composers that reflect our
school's diversity. Students have access to the performing arts within
the classroom and formally three times a year. Our Fine Arts and Music
Festival concludes the year with 4^th^ and 5^th^ grade instrumental and
vocal music students performing as well as a school-wide art display.

**Technology** is integrated in the core curriculum. Students have daily
access to computers in their classrooms to support learning such as
conducting research, creating multimedia projects, and publishing
written work. Service-leaning projects are documented using the digital
cameras.

A specialist teaches **Physical Education** where students actively
participate in a well-designed program that teaches skill development,
endurance, strength, teamwork, effort, and making healthy choices. On
the California Physical Fitness Test, 77% of our students achieved all 6
fitness standards.

**2. Palomares' Reading Curriculum**

Literacy is the foundation of our educational programs as we believe
that the ability to communicate effectively has a positive impact on
student achievement in all academic areas in daily life. Students
receive daily, standards-aligned research-based instruction from a
balanced, comprehensive language arts program which includes the
following components: Read Aloud-Write Aloud, Shared Reading-Shared
Writing, Guided Reading-Guided Writing, Independent Reading-Independent
Writing, word study, and responding orally and in writing to diverse
genres of literature.

English Language Arts (ELA) standards are fundamental in the planning
and implementation of our reading program. Teachers use adopted
materials and supplemental literature while integrating reading,
writing, listening, and speaking. Lessons emphasize systematic
instruction that provide students a solid foundation in phonemic
awareness, phonics, vocabulary development and comprehension strategies,
such as activating prior knowledge, predicting/inferring, questioning,
visualizing, and synthesis. Many works of fiction and non-fiction
broaden students' knowledge base and expand their points of view as they
read for meaning and apply prior knowledge. Teachers provide scaffolding
and assignments are differentiated using a variety of teaching
strategies: direct whole group instruction, guided reading, one-on-one
instruction, small groups working together, reading conferences,
listening and computer centers, reciprocal teaching groups, and
literature circles.

All students are assessed quarterly measuring vocabulary and concept
development, comprehension skills, and language. Primary teachers
formally assess each trimester utilizing the Best Practices literacy
program assessments in phonemic awareness and reading levels to
determine student growth in reading and comprehension. Our intermediate
teachers assess using running records, comprehension tests, observation
and anecdotal records, written work, administering fluency tests to
monitor students' reading speed and accuracy. Both informal and formal
assessments are used to focus instruction and to determine flexible
groupings, guided reading strategies, take home reading book selection,
and specific reading skills. We feel our reading program is fundamental
to our students' academic success (as evidenced by the 2004 State
Assessment scores), and has enabled students to apply knowledge across
the curriculum.

**3. Palomares' science curriculum relates to essential skills**

Science provides an integrated context for learning through active
participation in the Palomares Creek Watershed Project and Cesar Chavez
Program, which embed the four strands in daily lessons. By engaging in
real-life, inquiry-based scientific research, and service-learning
projects, students embrace our school's mission by developing a
commitment to be life-long learners and make decisions reflecting
responsible choices and respect for themselves, others, and the
environment. Integrated standards-aligned lessons provide students with
the skills and knowledge to learn concepts and principles expected using
this hands-on approach. On the CST 5^th^ grade Science Test, 93% of
students scored Proficient or above.

Students use observational skills, develop questions, collect and
interpret data, use critical thinking skills, read and do research, and
collaborate to teach other students and the community to care for and
respect the environment and about the 4R's (reduce, reuse, recycle,
rot). For example: Kindergarteners grow a self-sustaining garden; Second
graders focus on composting systems; and fourth graders grows native
plants to place back into the watershed. As students monitor habitats
and work on final projects they use F.O.S.S. and GEMS kits, AIMS
activities, and science notebooks to integrate reading, writing, math,
and science process skills.

Students take a leadership role in watershed and recycling projects
through participation in Junior Naturalists serving as stewards and
docents for visiting students and adults from outside agencies; the
Recycling Team monitors lunch recycling, finds ways to further reduce
and recycle and replace styrofoam trays, plastic sporks and straws with
biodegradables. At the Watershed Festival, all classes teach the
community (900+ people at the 2002 festival) what they have learned.
Animal/Science Day is another opportunity for students, scientists,
ranchers, and community members to work and learn together. Students are
mastering essential skills through engaging in these enriching learning
experiences that are connected to real-life opportunities while
supporting our school's mission.

**4*.* Palomares' instructional methods improve student learning**

Teachers are committed to implementing integrated instructional programs
using a variety of research-based strategies that support every child as
a learner and improve student achievement. Teachers have read [Classroom
Instruction That Works]{.underline} by R. Marzano, to determine how best
to incorporate the nine research-based instructional strategies targeted
to effectively increase student learning.

Systematic lessons are designed to provide students with opportunities
to practice discrete skills, construct meaning, use inquiry, and apply
knowledge. Daily instruction includes the use of differentiated
techniques (including SDAIE strategies) based on academic and learning
needs for ELL, at-risk, GATE, and Special Education students. Lessons
include strategies that address multiple intelligences, learning styles,
and skill levels. Flexible groupings are used to pre-teach skills,
access leveled reading books, explore topics in more depth, extend
interests, and target specific learning standards. Guided reading,
literature circles, writers workshop, cooperative groups, hands-on
experiences, one-on-on lessons, listening centers, math centers,
cross-age buddies, and the use of technology (computers, digital camera,
flex cam) are a few approaches used to accommodate diverse needs.

Teachers effectively use individual, small and whole group instruction
to support student learning. Literacy instruction includes shared and
guided reading, interactive writing, and responding to a variety of
literary genres to ensure that students continue to improve in reading
comprehension. All staff has been trained in Step Up to Writing, which
provides a process for teaching the elements of effective writing.
Writer's workshop and guided practice allow students opportunities to
hone skills, write independently, peer edit, and publish their work.
Students reflect on learning through daily journals, "heads together,"
table talk, reciprocal learning activities, and self-evaluation using a
rubric. Students demonstrate understanding of concepts taught using
standard-based formative and summative assessments, oral and written
projects, simulations, reports, daily work samples, and teacher-student
conferences.

5\. **Palomares' professional development program**

The training and professional growth of the Palomares staff are key
factors in the improvement of student achievement. Palomares' Single
Plan for Student Achievement includes a professional development (PD)
plan that is aligned with our standards-based adopted instructional
materials and is directly linked to student achievement identifying
curriculum strengths and areas for improvement.

A critical component of our PD plan is the articulation of the core
curriculum across grade levels and the development of a systematic
instructional calendar to monitor standards. Teachers use assessment
results, California Blueprints, grade-level standards, and adopted
materials to determine what needs to be taught, when it is appropriate,
and how to assess for student understanding.

All teachers have attended training for our adopted ELA program and Step
Up to Writing; six teachers attended our District Best Practices for
primary or intermediate literacy. Classroom programs embed these
research practices by implementing consistent instruction of phonemic
awareness, guided reading, comprehension, and written language. With
teachers implementing powerful current teaching practices designed to
increase student performance, our overall student achievement for K-5
students in ELA has increased in proficiency from 52% in 1999 to 62% in
2003 and to 74% in 2004. We are delighted that 91% of K-5 students met
grade level ELA standards by our district's assessment in 2004.

Staff members are trained at the district level in the adopted Math
series and have attended math workshops on computation, problem solving,
algebra and geometry. Teachers are implementing math strategies
involving number sense, abstract thinking and problem solving in daily
math lessons and are facilitating collaboration sessions to extend their
training among colleagues. This has impacted student achievement by
increasing math proficiency on State assessments from 48% in 1999 to 80%
in 2003 and 84% in 2004. These improvements in both ELA and Math are
evidence that Palomares has implemented a quality standards-based
program that has made a significant difference in student performance
and validates our professional development plan.
