LCAP How to Tell Your Story… “Once Upon a Time”

Think: Setting = Metrics Characters = Subgroups, Teachers,

Students, Stakeholders, Administration, Board

Pilot = Actions Conflict = Differing perspectives Theme = Goals for All Students

LCAP Template Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement Description of how you incorporate voice of the characters in your story; mention conflict. Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators Created within setting. Theme: Central idea or belief; progress indicators are the evidence in story. Section 3: Actions, Services, and Expenditures Plot: What is going to happen; includes characters; takes into account the conflict; communicates the theme(s). !

How can we get enough Stakeholder Engagement to successfully write our LCAP?

How do we design a user-based plan for our district?

Page 14: LOCAL CONTROL Presented By: ACCOUNTABILITY PLANS · Uncover needs that people have which they may or may not be aware of •! Guide innovation e fforts •! Identify the right users

Focus on Human Values Empathy for the people you are

designing for and feedback from these users is fundamental to good design.

Radical Collaboration Bring together innovators with varied backgrounds and viewpoints. Enable breakthrough insights and solutions to

emerge from the diversity.

Embrace Experimentation Prototyping is not simply a way to validate your

idea; it is an integral part of your innovation process. We build to think and learn.

Show Don’t Tell Communicate your vision in an impactful and meaningful way by creating experiences, using

illustrative visuals, and telling good stories.

Be Mindful Of Process Know where you are in the design process,

what methods to use in that stage, and what your goals are.

Craft Clarity Produce a coherent vision out of messy problems. Frame it in a way to inspire

others and to fuel ideation.

Bias Toward Action Design thinking is a misnomer; it is more about

doing that thinking. Bias toward doing and making over thinking and meeting.

Empathy is the foundation of a human-centered design process. To empathize, we: - Observe. View users and their behavior in the context of their lives. - Engage. Interact with and interview users through both scheduled and short ‘intercept’ encounters. - Immerse. Experience what your user experiences.

As a human-centered designer you need to understand the people for whom you are designing. The problems you are trying to solve are rarely your own—they are those of particular users; in order to design for your users, you must build empathy for who they are and what is important to them.

Watching what people do and how they interact with their environment gives you clues about what they think and feel. It also helps you to learn about what they need. By watching people you can capture physical manifestations of their experiences, what they do and say. This will allow you to interpret intangible meaning of those experiences in order to uncover insights. These insights will lead you to the innovative solutions. The best solutions come out of the best insights into human behavior. But learning to recognize those insights is harder than you might think. Why? Because our minds automatically filter out a lot of information in ways we aren’t even aware of. We need to learn to see things “with a fresh set of eyes” – tools for empathy, along with a human-centered mindset, is what gives us those new eyes.

Engaging with people directly reveals a tremendous amount about the way they think and the values they hold. Sometimes these thoughts and values are not obvious to the people who hold them. A deep engagement can surprise both the designer and the designee by the unanticipated insights that are revealed. The stories that people tell and the things that people say they do—even if they are di!erent from what they actually do—are strong indicators of their deeply held beliefs about the way the world is. Good designs are built on a solid understanding of these kinds of beliefs and values. Engage to: •! Uncover needs that people have which they may or may not be aware of •! Guide innovation e!orts •! Identify the right users to design for •! Discover the emotions that guide behaviors

In addition to speaking with and observing your users, you need to have personal experience in the design space yourself. Find (or create if necessary) experiences to immerse yourself to better understand the situation that your users are in, and for which you are designing.

Empathize MODE

Assume a Beginner’s Mindset METHOD

��� �""$�� � �������!’" ����"�#

�� #� �""$�� � �������!’" ����"�#

We all carry our experiences, understanding, and expertise with us. These aspects of yourself are incredibly valuable assets to bring to the design challenge – but at the right time, and with intentionality. Your assumptions may be misconceptions and stereotypes, and can restrict the amount of real empathy you can build. Assume a beginner’s mindset in order to put aside these biases, so that you can approach a design challenge afresh.

Don’t judge. Just observe and engage users without the influence of value judgments upon their actions, circumstances, decisions, or “issues.” Question everything. Question even (and especially) the things you think you already understand. Ask questions to learn about how the user perceives the world. Think about how a 4-year-old asks “Why?” about everything. Follow up an answer to one “why” with a second “why.” Be truly curious. Strive to assume a posture of wonder and curiosity, especially in circumstances that seem either familiar or uncomfortable. Find patterns. Look for interesting threads and themes that emerge across interactions with users. Listen. Really. Lose your agenda and let the scene soak into your psyche. Absorb what users say to you, and how they say it, without thinking about the next thing you’re going to say.

HOW TO TALK ABOUT NEEDS….

NEEDS •  NEEDS ARE VERBS

•  Students need to be engaged in their learning.

•  Students need to learn at their own rate.

•  Parents need to feel included in the school community.

SOLUTIONS •  SOLUTIONS ARE NOUNS

•  Relationships can increase engagement.

•  Online learning is one way to build individual instruction into a program.

•  Personalized phone calls can increase a parent’s sense of belonging.

SPSA

•  Q2.      What is the timeline for aligning the SPSA with the LCAP? •  A2.      The district will need to align the SPSA and the LCAP as the LCAP is being created.

The LCFF accountability provisions of the Budget Trailer Bill (Assembly Bill [AB] 97) adds E.C. 52062 (a)(4), which states that: •  The superintendent of the school district shall review school plans submitted

pursuant to Section 64001 for schools within the school district and ensure that the specific actions included in the local control and accountability plan or annual update to the local control and accountability plan are consistent with strategies included in the school plans submitted pursuant to Section 64001.

•  Additionally, the LCAP template states: "To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to E.C. 64001.”

•  Q3.      Will the format or content of the SPSA change in light of the new LCAP

requirement? •  A3.      According to the California Department of Education, there are currently no plans

to change the SPSA. School Services: February 21, 2014
