10—Continuous Quality Improvement

Describe the program’s Continuous Quality Improvement plan.

ELO-P staff and the ASES provider (Anaheim YMCA) staff meet weekly to outline improvement goals and action steps in order to best serve students and families in AESD. Action steps are determined, acted upon, and debriefed in the weekly meetings.

The Quality Standards/program goals for ELO-P will be used to assess program quality, and used to revise and refine the areas of needed improvement. Data will be collected in a variety of ways which will include surveys, observations, and self assessments. The information will be collected from all stakeholders, which include students, parents, and staff. The results will be used to drive the improvement of the program.

Anaheim Elementary has made a commitment to share an ELO-P newsletter to families highlighting different programs and their unique experiences for students. In the monthly newsletter, the parents are asked for feedback in order to continuously improve the program plan and actions. This feedback form is embedded within the newsletter for monthly access for parents.

Under the direct supervisor of the Superintendent of Anaheim Elementary School District, full time positions were created in order to launch the 9 hour school day across 23 school sites. Anaheim Elementary hired a School, Family, and Community Engagement Director - directly managing, designing, and supervising Expanded Learning Opportunities Program. This position required an administrative credential and experience as a site administrator. Anaheim Elementary also hired a Curriculum Specialist for ELO-P - focusing on curriculum writing and administration of the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program. These positions work closely with the ASES provider - Anaheim YMCA, where weekly meetings are held in order to begin to strategize and work together to build one comprehensive program. Each school site has a leadership assistant for ELO-P that serves as the direct supervisor of the ELO-P program. They work closely with the principal and vice principal of the school site in order to create conditions to enrich the school day. In 2023, the board approved the position for and SFACE administrator that will help support the leadership assistants decision making at the site level. The SFACE administrator will serve as a liaison between other district departments and the SFACE Director, to ensure safety is the number one priority for all students in ELO-P.

The ELO-P funding will allow our schools to provide before and after school care as well as academic and enrichment programs for our students. While at the same time, giving ALL students and families the opportunity to participate based on their needs and interests. The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program staff is responsible for making sure that 100% of program funding is used to support the before and after school program goals aligned to AESD’s vision and mission.

When a program need arises, ELO-P staff may seek the experience of a contracted professional. The ELO-P staff meets with subcontractors to discuss their scope of work and clearly identify their role and responsibility during the contracted time prior to finalizing their contract. ELO-P staff meets regularly with outside vendors and site coordinators at school sites.

Each site coordinator maintains a roster and attendance sheet for their school’s ELO-P program. The curriculum specialist verifies weekly attendance and programming for each individual school. Through consistent communication, the sites are expected to report weekly attendance numbers to the curriculum specialist.

Site coordinators meet once a month with the ELO-P management. These monthly meetings support the goal of building a cohesive program across 23 school sites and with the ASES provider - YMCA.
