Self reflection of my goals for the school year 14-15.

1. Year End Reflections
2014-15
Marlena Hebern Last year I posted my
reflection of my
personal and
professional goals for
the school year online.
I decided to continue
that practice this year.

2. Work Based Goals:
LCAP Priority 1 Basic Services:
1. Develop through to board adoption and begin to implement an EL Master Plan for 2014-15.
This year I have taken on the task of developing our district plan for English Learners. There are several stages that
are needed in order to reach the goal of a legally compliant and comprehensive EL plan. These steps are based on my
research so far and subject to modification based on discussions with Robin. Complete CELDT testing
Success! We did indeed finish up testing even though we started out the year without Ceci. I trained 2 staff
members on the CELDT and managed to test all students in 30 days and to send out the required letters to all parents.

3. 1. 2.
Reclassification criteria
Nine students were reclassified this year (0 last year)
Excited students here receiving their honors at a board meeting, four students stood up in front of the
board and gave a touching testimonial about their experiences learning English in our schools. It was
definitely a highlight of my year!

4. 1. 3. Developing DELAC and ELAC committees
2 rounds of nominations were sent out at MES and EP before any parents stepped up
Elections in progress at El Portal
Elections pending at MES

5. 1. 4.
Developing other assessments
EL students are being assessed with Moby Max, Standards Plus, CORE, and ESGI
We were in the process of looking for an assessment to follow the CELDT assessment that was based online.

6. 1. 5.
EL Master Plan
Components of the master plan are being developed.
It was decided to hold off on the
master plan until the fall of 15-16.
This year, I began the
investigation of aligning the
Master Plan to the LCAP.
This is breaking new
ground!!! NO one has yet to align
an EL plan to LCAP!!!
Art Davis’ plan for aligning
the SPSA to the LCAP seemed
promising.
A check off list iwas
formatted, customized to
Mariposa, and ready to use.
It was my goal to develop a
cutting edge plan that
incorporated some of the unique
things that Mariposa is doing into
the EL Master Plan.
The check off list has been
developed for the entire
master plan iPod Plan

7. LCAP Priority 2 Implementing Core Standards:
1. Develop a new teacher PLN and plan and conduct 5 meetings through the year.
Progress:
I have been meeting with the new teachers
during this year. I have supported BTSA for
those in BTSA both within the PLN and outside
of the PLN as need arises. The PLN is up and
running. We have scheduled the remaining
meetings.
Each meting includes:
A team building activity
A pedagogy element in the form of an
article or discussion
A tech tip
Looking forward to the calendar and
upcoming events in MCUSD with
suggestions for being successful. (Such
as parent conferences, or report cards)

8. LCAP Priority 4 Student Achievement:
3. Develop data dashboards in aeries.net , MobyMax, and other district initiated programs in the K-8 grade
range and train administrators and site lead teachers in the use of the data dashboards.
We bring data to teachers and administrators through these dashboards. This year we have a new tool to help
teachers and admin understand the data they generate. It was my goal to develop the dashboard and to help
teaches and admin understand how to use and understand the data they see.
Progress:
I have developed the dash board for the DPA. Teachers can now see the DPA data.
I have been training teachers and admin in the Moby Max, ESGE, and Aeries.

9. Personal Goal:
1. Continue to expand and improve my personal PLN and presenting skills through CUE, Twitter, MCUSD and
by presenting both locally and for other organizations, meeting people, and sharing ideas.
Last year I started a personal PLN outside of our local Mariposa setting through Twitter and CUE for the first time.
This year my goal is to deepen those connections. I plan to do this by presenting at CVCUE and perhaps at other
opportunities this year.
