SF-CESS’ mission and vision are alive. They help surface our core values and assist us to communicate our priorities and the intended impact of our work. Using our mission and vision, SF-CESS will use the following Theory of Action to clarify our intended work and the desired results against which we will be able to measure our success:
SF-CESS, building on CES’ Ten Common Principles and guided by SF-CESS’ Framework for Transformation, assists our schools and their communities to develop and sustain the conditions necessary to interrupt inequities (individual or collective) based on our individual and collective socio-political histories and contexts by providing coaching, technical assistance, and professional development to a network of school communities that share core values:
- Function as sustainable learning communities dedicated to lifelong learning.
- Prioritize personalization so that every child is known well.
- Base their practices in data-driven inquiry, explicitly focused on equity and achievement.
All students served by our schools will have access to a high quality education, and those students most marginalized and underserved will have equitable access and support for accelerated achievement.
A variety and range of student achievement and experience data including but not limited to:
- Standardized assessments (CAASPP, ELPAC)
- California School Dashboard indicators
- A-G course completion and college acceptance rates
- Alternative assessments including exhibitions and portfolios
- Attendance, discipline, and retention rates
- Graduation rates and college preparedness data
