WestEd (www.wested.org) is a preeminent educational research, development, and service organization with 600 employees and 17 offices nationwide. WestEd has been a leader in moving research into practice by conducting research and development programs, projects, and evaluations; by providing training and technical assistance; and by working with policymakers and practitioners at state and local levels to carry out large-scale school improvement and innovative change efforts. WestEd’s mission—to work with education and other communities to promote excellence, achieve equity, and improve learning for children, youth, and adults—is addressed through a full range of projects. Services WestEd will provide to MDUSD include: • Pre-planning, including Cabinet member data collection and initial review of MDUSD’s current plans that will need to be aligned with the LCAP priority areas. • Preparation for stakeholder sessions, including identification of critical questions and collection and/or development of necessary planning materials to guide session interactions. • Be prepared to identify and/or review MDUSD’s vision or story, and its most critical goals and outcomes. • Determine who, in MDUSD, will assist in identifying and collecting relevant data to guide planning decisions. • Support stakeholder sessions. • Follow up and response based on stakeholder input. WestEd will provide MDUSD with sessions to: (1) explore the LCFF/LCAP planning processes for MDUSD LCAP team members, (2) assist in planning and/or facilitating key stakeholder engagement sessions, and (3) facilitate discussions to determine critical planning and resource alignment strategies. Goals for such planning support are to provide LCFF/LCAP background, and facilitate discussions which will assist with the development of MDUSD’s LCAP.
