These questions should be completed for any LEA applying for funds. This section must be completed before any funds or services are released. Questions Provide context for the LEA's motivation for participating in the EASI program. Include: • A description of current accountability status for the LEA and its system of supports, especially for schools identified under the state and federal systems. • An overview of the challenges the LEA and the identified school(s) face. The description should be organized by the Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement (PDF) (https://centeronschoolturnaround.org/wpcontent/uploads/2018/03/CST_Four-Domains-Framework-Final.pdf (culture shift, instructional transformation, leadership and talent development). The Adams 14 School District is entering Year 8 of Priority Improvement or Turnaround Status and is identified as one of the lowest performing districts within the state of Colorado. In 2017, the District completed a thorough data analysis, which included student achievement, longitudinal growth, postsecondary college and career readiness, and teacher effectiveness data, as well as past instructional frameworks. Using this information, Adams 14 district leaders developed a turnaround plan to edify identified opportunities for growth. To address the District's lack of instructional resources aligned to the Colorado Academic Standards and the inconsistent implementation of research-based instruction through a lens of culturally and linguistically diverse populations, the District purchased a reading program for grades K-5, implemented a biliteracy program in grades K-3, and created the opportunity for students to earn the Adams 14 Seal of Biliteracy upon graduation. Adams 14 has also entered into an external management partnership with Beyond Textbooks for Adams City High School, Central Elementary and Rose Hill Elementary (2017) and has expanded to Adams City Middle School, Kearney Middle School, Kemp Elementary, and Hanson Elementary (2018). District leaders were optimistic that the 2017-2018 turnaround plan and associated goals would, in one year, provide a framework for building sustainable systems with significant, immediate and positive impact on student growth and achievement, and put the district on a path to creating a collaborative culture of continuous improvement with high expectations. At the end of year-one of the turnaround plan, Adams 14 District made incremental improvements in some areas, which resulted in three schools scoring a rating of Improvement and three schools scoring a rating of Performance. While the District met overall goals as outlined in the turnaround plan and are on track to providing the students and families in Adams 14 with the high-quality education they deserve, more time and resources are needed to support sustainable systems wide changes. This conclusion is congruent to the findings of the 2017-18 District and School Performance Frameworks, the review completed by Team Tipton (an external partner for visioning and community engagement), and the findings from the SchoolWorks State Review Panel Report completed in October of 2018, which all indicated a need for additional external support within an extended and specified time frame. It has been recommended that the District continue with Beyond Textbooks to provide the instructional framework and seek out an external management entity that will hold the District accountable for continued improvement in building leadership capacity, continuing instructional transformation, deepening community engagement through a comprehensive cultural shift, and recruiting/retaining high quality talent. To this end, Adams 14 and Adams City High School will be presenting a request for an additional External Management Organization at the State Board of Education hearing on November 14, 2018. For access to more in-depth information regarding these findings and to access additional resources, please visit: https://tinyurl.com/A14-2018-Turnaround-Process Explain how, if awarded, the LEA will support its identified schools (i.e., CS/TS/ATS, Priority Improvement and/or Turnaround) schools to ensure that school improvement services, activities, and/or grants are on track and in alignment with their improvement plans. The District anticipates a fully collaborative relationship with a new EMO. Adams 14 School District is willing to grant even more authority to a new EMO within the scope of their operations. While subject to limitations in state law regarding personnel matters, the new District-level EMO will be empowered to give directives to the Superintendent on non-personnel matters in the following areas: (a) Organization Cultural Shift, (b) Instructional Transformation, (c) Leadership Development, and (d) Talent Development. The District-level EMO will also have authority (and be expected) to make recommendations to the Board of Education on all matters within its governance of the District, including personnel. The EMO will contract for terms of two and one-half years through the 2021 school year, with a provision for optional renewal terms. It is our charge that the EMO will advance the District’s mission and vision via systemic reform so that students are highly competitive in an everchanging world. Through the RFQ/P process, the District will seek a District-level EMO with a proven past performance of success in the following areas: (a) accelerating measurable and sustainable district and school improvement; (b) developing a strong academic program infrastructure and successfully coordinating work with other partners; (c) setting clear benchmarks and expectations for implementation and progress monitoring of turnaround strategies; (d) supporting district leadership teams to successfully implement and monitor effectiveness of turnaround strategies; (e) developing organizational and leadership systems and structures at district and school levels including, but not limited to, analyzing data to establish, articulate and monitor measurable goals; (f) establishing and improving https://www.cde.state.co.us/apps/easiapp/PrintApplication 11/14/2018 Application for Empowering Action for School Improvement (EASI) Page 6 of 46 processes and procedures to attract, hire, and retain high quality leaders, teachers, and support staff—particularly in staff retention; (g) working in an urban and/or industrial area with student populations, including high numbers of students at risk of academic failure, as well as those with disabilities and language barriers; and (h) advising school boards and district leaders on effective governance and oversight best practices. ORGANIZATION CULTURAL SHIFT The District must continue to work towards dramatic improvement in the internal and external culture. All staff must strive to be collaborative, inclusive, intentional, proactive, and transparent. This transformation will improve trust as well as increase internal capacity to implement best practices in family and community engagement and communication. The District will create and sustain partnerships that empower and inspire families, collaborate with external organizations to share responsibilities and ownership of school and learning, and create added opportunities for students to increase ownership and pride in their learning environment. As a part of its turnaround plan, the District has contracted with Team Tipton, who is supporting us in restoring relationships with the community. Team Tipton provides opportunities to engage intentionally with stakeholders in positive and authentic ways. The District has already experienced success from interactive sessions and anticipates continued positive interactions. The EMO will provide accountability systems to ensure that the District has created benchmarks that respond to and meet Team Tipton’s recommendations for cultural transformation. The District looks forward to cultivating and employing collaborative cultures through purposeful action. INSTRUCTIONAL TRANSFORMATION The District needs deeper and more comprehensive improvements in its instructional practices. While Beyond Textbooks has provided the “what” to teach in some subject areas and grade levels, our educators are now ready for innovative and engaging pedagogical supports to further develop and improve practice and student achievement. The new EMO would support the following activities: (a) increasing academic rigor (e.g., engaging and effective lesson plans); (b) capacity-building of educators’ literacy of the standards; (c) creating opportunities to maximize our English Language Learners’ skills and development; (d) analyzing and aligning systemwide supports, effective interventions, and enrichment supports for students identified with special and/or exceptional needs; and (e) accelerating learning opportunities and tier supports for students who are behind grade level. In collaboration with the new EMO, and in addition to other external service providers as needed, Adams 14 will develop incremental goals for achieving instructional transformation. The preferred partner will provide guidance, feedback, and assessment of the District’s progress towards meeting these goals. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT Strong leadership is essential to student performance because leaders are the catalyst who create a robust culture of rigor and clarity for changing the vision. The District needs: (a) consistent leadership and the value of institutional knowledge to create a culture of learning, trust, and efficacy; (b) sufficient and efficiently allocated personnel able to execute responsibility and accountability at the District; and (c) implementing emerging structures that develop leadership capacity to effectively lead the turnaround work at the District and to ensure effective oversight and sustainable implementation of change efforts. Therefore, in collaboration with the new EMO, and in addition to other external service providers, the District will develop differentiated school support structures, clarify the roles of all leaders, develop and maintain human capital, and develop and implement support structures to monitor the District’s progress towards leadership development. Describe how the LEA will support its identified school(s) to ultimately exit the federal and/or state designations and sustain improvements. Adams County 14 has schools identified under both federal and state designations that need to exit their statuses and sustain improvements, which is why we need an EMO to facilitate an aggressive and systemic improvement effort across all schools within the district. While our turnaround plan focuses most heavily on District leadership and creating sustainable systems to advance academic performance in our comprehensive and targeted schools, we understand that all of our schools would benefit from holistic reviews, improvement planning support, community and parent engagement support and early implementation efforts. Should Adams 14 be awarded the EASI grant,we would ask that the EMO support diagnostic review for all of our schools, as well as our Special Education programs, so that we can gather a more comprehensive view of the challenges we face and develop a systematic plan to obtain larger gains at the school level. An EMO would support the District in setting up improvement planning efforts to hold schools and the District more accountable to the improvement actions and achievement indicators. Adams 14 would also need support with planning and early implementation of the improvement plans so that we can accelerate all of our schools and the District to exit the accountability watch. Adams 14 embraces the opportunity to contract an EMO that is firm in their management and implementation levels at the beginning of the contract. However, a gradual release of responsibility is the ultimate goal once sustainable systems are in place. https://www.cde.state.co.us/apps/easiapp/PrintApplication 11/14/2018 Application for Empowering Action for School Improvement (EASI) Page 7 of 46 Exploration Supports Route Current Context The primary purpose of the Exploration Supports route is to help schools and LEAs gather information about their needs and plan for future action. While LEAs have the option of selecting all or just one of the available exploration supports (diagnostic review, community engagement, improvement planning), keep in mind that applying for subsequent implementation activities through EASI will require evidence of an external review, meaningful community engagement and a well-developed improvement plan. In recognition that sites may complete their exploration phase and be ready for implementation prior to the next EASI application window, a small amount of dollars may be budgeted for implementation in this fiscal year (pending CDE approval). Instructions: Complete the question below for the LEA and/or for all schools participating in the Exploration Supports Route. Questions Describe why the LEA has selected Exploration as the best route for the identified school(s) and/or LEA. Make sure to address any connections to identification for improvement through the state and/or federal identification system. If not selecting all three exploration areas (diagnostic review, community engagement, improvement planning) through EASI, provide a description on how those areas have already been or will be supported to ensure the school/LEA is fully ready for implementation by next fiscal year. Note: CDE may also consult publicly available documents (e.g., UIP, SPF) to better understand the current LEA/school environment. Adams County 14 School District is requesting a provider external to CDE to support our turnaround efforts. The District asks that an EMO conduct a diagnostic review of all the schools identified as either targeted or comprehensive support, and/or are identified as on the accountability clock, with the exception of Kearney Middle School, as they have completed this work in the past year. A detailed and comprehensive diagnostic review is necessary due to the extensive needs throughout the district and to keep pace with upcoming changes in the School Performance Framework. As identified in the District’s Diagnostic Review, Family Engagement Survey, and the Colorado Department of Education Diagnostic Review, the District struggles with effective community engagement. In an effort to increase positive engagement with various stakeholders, the District has partnered with Team Tipton over the past five months to facilitate numerous stakeholder events, and we have seen a positive improvement in efforts thus far. The District would like to expand our efforts with Team Tipton, who would be under the direction of the EMO, to work directly with our schools so that we have coherence between the District and all schools in our community engagement efforts.. Kearney Middle School, Dupont Elementary School, and Monaco Elementary School have recently and successfully participated in a variety of turnaround activities that model the kind of changes we want to implement at the District level. Dupont recently completed a three year effort with Connect for Success; Kearney recently completed a diagnostic review; and Monaco is currently participating in the Turnaround Network. Even though these three schools have experienced success, we would like to include them in our larger improvement efforts to ensure they continue to make improvements and are included in our efforts to create sustainable systems to ensure all of our schools and our district exit the accountability clock and remain at Improvement or Performance. https://www.cde.state.co.us/apps/easiapp/PrintApplication 11/14/2018 Application for Empowering Action for School Improvement (EASI) Page 8 of 46 Exploration Supports Route Selection Instructions: For each school and/or LEA, select each of the exploration activities you are requesting.

If selecting a provider external to CDE, respond to all questions below. If selecting CDE supported reviews, respond to the last two questions only (involving stakeholders and the work plan and budget request). Questions Describe the process used to select provider(s) external to CDE. This includes any requested exploration services (diagnostic review, community engagement, improvement planning). As Part of the State Board of Education November 14th hearing, Adams 14 will be requesting the state directed action of partnering with an external management organization (EMO). If the State Board of Education approves this directed action, the District is prepared to immediately begin a Request for Qualifications (RFQ/P) to select an organization with the necessary qualifications and willingness to collaborate with the District and ACHS as an External Management Organization. The RFQ/P has identified that the EMO will conduct a diagnostic review of the District and each individual school ,as well as create systems for Improvement planning with an emphasis on accountability. The EMO will provide oversight of Team Tipton, who we have already partnered with to support efforts to increase the frequency and quality of community engagement at the district level, but will expand efforts to each school to ensure coherence with the District’s efforts and to create sustainable systems. The RFQ/P is also charged with creating improvement planning systems with a focus on accountability. The Owner's Selection Committee will evaluate and score the RFP/Q submittals based on the following selection criteria: (a) Letter of Interest - completed a concise and organized letter of interest and RFQ/P response that addressed all of the submittal criteria; (b) Experience and Qualifications - provided a comprehensive and insightful experience and qualifications package, which highlighted key personnel in addition to other items as stated; (c) Scope of Services - affirmed each of the Owner’s requirements for this project and demonstrates a clear understanding of Owner's needs and clear direction toward completing scope of work; (d) Schedule - demonstrated the ability to complete the planning tasks within the timeframe needed, including a complete and understandable schedule; and (e) References - provided a comprehensive project list with contact information for projects completed over the last five years. An interview invitation will be sent to the three Candidates with the highest RFQ/P submittal scores. The purpose of the interview is to ensure a full understanding of the RFQ/P responses and to introduce key members of the External Management Organization. The interviews will consist of a short presentation followed by a longer period for questions and answers. The selected EMO will be determined based on their interview score, which is separate from their RFQ/P submittal score. Provide details on the expertise and background knowledge of the provider(s) external to CDE to effectively complete the expected work (e.g., previous experience with positive references, expertise in evaluating special education programs (as applicable), etc.). If the State Board of Education decision on November 14th, 2018 is for Adams County 14 School District to move forward with the RFQ/P process, either the Colorado Department of Education or the State Board of Education will ultimately review the District’s final selection to ensure that the EMO has the expertise and background knowledge to complete the work successfully. The District has already contracted with Team Tipton to support the Visioning process and to support community engagement efforts, which we have already seen improvements in these efforts. The EMO selected would ultimately have oversight of Team Tipton. Team Tipton began working with Adams 14 in the summer of 2018 in response to CDE’s School and District Performance Diagnostic report which made three recommendations: (1) Strategic Vision and Planning, (2) Talent Management and Accountability, and (3) Strategic Communication. Team Tipton was chosen based on its track record of customized approaches in creating leadership cohesion, driving organizational vision, internal and external stakeholder engagement, and facilitating cultural transformation in public education. Team Tipton employs organizational psychologists, mediators, social workers, public education thought leaders, management consultants, enterprise communication experts, professional project managers, as well as professionals with deep expertise in cultural conflict resolution. Their approach has been proven to deliver transformative outcomes in many aspects of the public sector, including public education, government, nonprofits and public utilities. We have already seen compelling results from our collaboration with Team Tipton and believe these efforts will be encouraged to continue under the management of the External Management Organization. Action to increase the opportunities for decision making with stakeholder input has already begun with Team Tipton’s support, as evidenced by the inclusion of our community’s values within both the Concept Paper to be presented at the November 14, 2018 State hearing and the RFQ/P that is planned to launch once approved by the State Board of Education. The collaborative momentum we have begun with Team Tipton will benefit the EMO as the system building for this work has already begun and can be leveraged by the EMO to inform their diagnostic review process. https://www.cde.state.co.us/apps/easiapp/PrintApplication 11/14/2018 Application for Empowering Action for School Improvement (EASI) Page 15 of 46 Describe the steps the LEA has taken (and/or will take) to involve stakeholders in a meaningful way (including principal, other school leaders, teachers, and parents) in this process. The district is committed to engaging internal and external stakeholders throughout the process. An independent district-wide assessment, conducted by consulting group Team Tipton from August to September 2018, has identified the lack of vision, direction and strategic priorities as key concerns for stakeholders, including parents, community leaders, students, teachers and district leaders. The proposed visioning process at each of the district’s schools aims to create an internal and external stakeholderinformed vision, with clear 1-, 3-, and 5-year school improvement plans to accelerate progress, create sustainable improvements, exit the accountability clock and become high performing schools. The process will include interviews, focus groups and small and large group engagement sessions with teachers, parents, students (as appropriate), school leaders, community and other stakeholders to develop preferences related to core values, mission, vision, strategic preferences, culture and climate, governance, outreach and communication, decision-making, issue resolution, and overall priorities.

If multiple schools are ready for the implementation phase (i.e., State Board of Education has directed action), you can provide an overall progress monitoring plan if it is the same for all schools. If the schools' plans are vastly different, then the LEA will need to clearly describe each progress monitoring plan in the grant activities section. The work plan should clearly delineate the schools participating in each activity. Questions Identify which individual will be the point person and will lead the pathway planning or implementation process. This person must be a district employee that sits on the Superintendent's leadership team and has the authority to work with the local school board. Superintendent - Dr. Javier Abrego Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction - Dr. Jeanette Patterson NOTE: If you did not select "Implementation" as a pathway for any school or district on the previous page, please skip this question. Describe the methods and metrics for monitoring and evaluating the implementation and outcome of the selected pathway. Specifically address the following questions: • What data will be used to monitor progress (interim and summative measures) and be shared back with CDE and the State Board of Education? • What is the timeline for collecting and sharing this data publicly and with CDE? • How will you use interim data to adjust course if progress is not being seen? Adams 14 conducts quarterly short-data cycle reviews as part of its current accountability system. These reviews include metrics of both interim and summative data, as well as surveys, whole child data, engagement data and classroom observations. Implementation benchmarks, as outlined in agreements with external partners are also monitored during the data cycle reviews. We work closely with Lisa Medler, our identified support for improvement planning at a minimum of twice monthly to discuss progress or any concerns that may come up. Each quarter we extensively review both the District and ACHS progress monitoring data and reflections/next steps, which is then reported out to both the Adams 14 BOE as well as the Colorado BOE in a report created by Lisa Medler. We use the identified quarterly targets to make determinations of whether we need to make adjustments to our course of action. If we are not meeting our targets, we identify root causes and create action steps to remediate the root causes identified. The EMO would be charged with supporting us in creating a tool to monitor the work closely, but to ensure that the district is held accountable in its actions around the proposed work as this is an area the district has struggled to complete successfully in the past. Also, this work with the EMO would be contingent upon the State Board of Education decision on November 14th, 2018. Work Plan and Budget Request Using the "Add Grant Activities" button below, create a work plan and budget request. For each grant activity in the work plan: • Provide a school-level location contact, a description of each activity, start/end dates, and person(s) responsible for the activity. • Input the amount requested, the associated program and object codes, and fiscal year.
