Publishing and Presenting on School Climate AssessmentDr. Anji Buckner’s recent publication, based on her dissertation, was accepted by the American Educational Research Association’s (AERA) annual meeting on April 17th. Her presentation is titled Measuring California Superintendents’ Beliefs About School Climate Assessment: New Insights from Item Response �eory Analysis. �e abstract can be found below and full details on her presentation at http://tinyurl.com/v9cr9ge.Abstract: School climate is an important factor influencing academic outcomes. Accountability across schools and school districts to inform decision making depends on superintendents’ beliefs about school climate data and its potential uses. �is study examined a sample (n=298) of California superintendents with a 37 item Likert-style survey. Employing a multi-dimensional Item Response �eory (IRT) Model, we found evidence for three constructs related to superintendents’ beliefs about school climate data: Importance, Capacity, and Trustworthiness. Regression analysis showed that compared to superintendents serving in rural districts, those serving in suburban districts believed more in the importance of school climate data and trusted their data more for continuous improvement. Reliability and validity evidence show we can dependably identify three groupings among respondents.
Publishing and Presenting Strategies on Advancing Student AchievementDr. Carrie HolmbergArticlesDuckor, B. & Holmberg, C. (2019/2020). Seven high-leverage formative Assessment moves to support ELLs. Educational Leadership, 77(4), 46-52.Excerpt: Sound in-class assessment strategies can make a big difference in deepening ELLs' learning.In our 2017 book, Mastering Formative Assessment Moves (ASCD), we outlined seven high-leverage formative assessment strategies that promote ambitious teaching and deeper learning. Since then, we've been working with pre- and in-service teachers who are implementing the new English Language Development Standards (2014) in California, and we have begun to see how these strategies can serve as the natural bridge to help English language learners reach greater proficiency in their understanding of academic language. Research tells us that the assessment choices teachers make in their classrooms matter.
Leading in Arts EducationDr. Marie-Helene Bauguil recently accepted a new position as Visual Arts Specialist with the Khan Lab School (KLS) in Mountain View. She finds it very exciting to work at KLS and to be part of a team that is creating a new model of education and is thrilled to have found this opportunity after studying arts education in depth for the three and a half years over the course of her doctoral studies.
Dr. Bauguil is in charge of developing and teaching the art program for the lower school (equivalent of K-6th grades), which is a combination of art studio and arts-integrated and PBL projects.
�e environment at KLS is very cooperative and flexible, though also intense as educators are constantly trying new approaches and adjusting them for continuous improvement.

Moving UpDr. Rebecca O’Brien recently took a promotional position as Director of Special Education with the Morgan Hill Unified School District. She had been in her new role for about two weeks when she realized that she was facing some major restructuring. Upon reflecting on how to proceed, she realized she had taken an Ed.D. course in organizational change. From this realization, she saw that she had all the tools she needed at her fingertips and knew what needed to be done.
National Conference PresenterDr. Hyon Chu Yi-Baker recently presented at the Asian Pacific Americans in Higher Education National Conference. �e title of her presentation was "Daring Greatly: From Hurt to Healing – Owning Our Own Stories." �is pre-institute workshop explores how the model minority stereotype and the pursuit for "perfectionism" has hurt the AAPI community and impacted their journey. In the words of Dr. Yi-Baker, “we begin the road to healing by being the architects of our own personal ecology.”
Administrator of the YearDr. Michael Paynter has been selected as the Student Services Administrator of the Year by the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA) Region 10. He is very grateful to his peers for this award, as, in his words “only in relationship with each of them do we make an impact on the thousands of students in Santa Cruz County. Together, countywide, we have met as Student Services Directors for more than 3 years, collectively supporting each other and making progress on important learning supports for districts, schools and students. �e latest work, which I am honored to facilitate, is our Schools Integrated Behavioral Health Initiative which aims to bring increased understanding, communication, resources, connections and skills to the myriad ways mental health and substance use challenges affect students, schools, families and communities. Given there are many wonderful efforts underway, we ask, how can we use MTSS and other frameworks to maximize serving the whole child as well as attend to the whole staff and parents doing that important work.”

Intersectionally reculturing educational leader preparation and practice for all students. Journal of the California Association of Professors of Educational Administration, 31Abstract: Situated in the context of U.S. educational outcomes, education policy in California, and UNESCO’s definition of inclusive education, we examine how schools have addressed student diversity. Methods of identifying students with disabilities are not adequately designed to identify English learners with disabilities. In part to address that problem, we introduce the concept of intersectional reculturing as an approach for educators to consider students’ intersectional identities in order to address inequitable educational outcomes. We then present a theoretically grounded proposal for intersectionally recultured preparation of educational leaders, including use of a framework aligned with universal design for learning (UDL).

Exploring the Development of Argumentative ReasoningMark Felton
ArticlesMiralda-Banda, A., Garcia-Mila, M. & Felton, M. (in press). Concept of evidence and the quality of evidence-based reasoning in the elementary graders. Topoi: An International Review of Philosophy. DOI:10.1007/s11245-019-09685-y�is article explores how children's explicit concept of what evidence is and how it used informs their implicit reasoning. �e data suggest that although children show many of the characteristics of strong argumentative reasoning (producing claims, evidence, justification and counterargument) at a young age, argumentative competence may require a more conscious awareness of the role that argument plays in knowledge and knowing.
