Each of the San Rafael City Schools spends a significant amount of time developing a Single Plan for Student Achievemnt (SPSA).  The SPSA is a schoolwide plan of action intended to improve the academic performance of all students.  State guidelines require that the SPSA include the following components:

• Identification of site-specific achievement goals based on a variety of student performance data.

• Description of specific instructional strategies to accelerate student learning.

• Description of the ways in which student progress will be monitored on a regular basis.

• Identification of interventions for students not achieving.

• Determination of the necessary professional development for staff.

• Delineation of strategies for parent communication and involvement.

• Estimation of costs and funding sources.

• Consultation with other site advisory groups.

SPSAs are developed, reviewed, and revised collaboratively by the Site Leadership Team (SLT).
