Executive Summary
Equity, Student Achievement, Accountability for All, Safety, Community Engagement and Stewardship are the 2012-13
WCCUSD Goals. Our school establishes programs, activities and actions which are designed to continually address these
goals.
GOALS:
Equity: Implement fair, evenhanded district and school level policies, practices, and actions that ensure each student counts, all
students can learn, district resources are developed and deployed based on recognition and acknowledgement of the needs and
strengths of each student, and all stakeholders are valued members of the WCCUSD community.
Students are drawn from all over the school district. The school population is very diverse both ethnically and culturally and
consists of students who have attended other secondary schools throughout the district. The chief criterion for admission is
that the student be at risk, that is, in danger of not achieving his/her full potential at a comprehensive high school and/or not
going on to post-secondary education. These are often students who seem to have potential but whose achievement is not
commensurate with their ability. Also targeted are students who have difficulty being successful in the environment of large
urban high schools. In 2005 and 2009, Middle College was recognized as a California Distinguished School. In 2007, 2008,
2009, and 2011, Middle College has earned the distinction of being one of the top schools in the nation by U.S. News and
World Report. In 2006, our school was honored by the U.S. Department of Education as a 2006 NCLB - Blue Ribbon School.
To achieve this distinction, a school must have at least 40% of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds and have
students performing in the top 10% on the state assessments. In 2011, Middle College had 2 Gates Millennium Scholarship
recipients. This is a first in the history of Middle College.
Student Achievement: Provide a clear, well-resourced and rigorous student achievement program that addresses the full range of
student needs and results in all students being prepared for a successful life.
Our vision statement clearly portrays an approach that includes collaboration, high expectations, and positive youth
development. “MCHS is to be a challenging, stimulating, caring and supportive community with high expectations for all
students, calling on students to build their own abilities to reach their full potential as members of society.” All MCHS
students have the opportunity to receive a high school diploma, certificates of completion in specific occupational areas, and an
associate degree simultaneously, and our students are active participants in the design and implementation of their education.
Accountability for All: Build a system of accountability for all that nurtures a culture where all administrators, teachers, district
employees, families, students, and community members are accountable for their roles in improving student achievement.
The mission of Middle College High School is to provide a nurturing, academically challenging environment for high potential
and at-risk youth to ensure high school completion where grade-level learning is the minimum standard for success. These at-
risk students have the opportunity to gain a range of skills that will provide motivation and support for their lifelong personal,
academic, and social growth in college and beyond. The entire staff continually works to maintain and enhance our school as a
positive learning environment. Through interaction with MCHS faculty, staff, the college, and the community, students
explore a wide variety of areas and interests to open their minds and become conscious contributors to society. MCHS not only
offers an advanced high school education, but also provides knowledge and skills in preparation for college, careers, and life.
Safety: Implement strategies that ensure 1) safe, positive learning and working environments, 2) site preparedness for any crisis or
emergency.
Safety is of the highest importance at Middle College High School. Rules and expectations for behavior are explicitly and
clearly provided to students and their families. They are again stated in the Student Handbook. Parents and students have to
agree to abide by the behavior standards at MCHS in writing before students are considered for enrollment. Students are
reminded of the rules and are monitored by both the MCHS and college staff.
Our focus on student attendance also supports safety as the district has an efficient method of tracking and reporting any
unverified absences to parents by the close of school.
In the event of an emergency, Middle College High School follows the Comprehensive Safety Plan of Contra Costa College.
The central meeting place for MCHS students is the bleachers located on the west side of the football field. A nearby
container is available to house emergency supplies, and the school, largely through the efforts of our students has begun
stocking it with emergency supplies.
Additionally, we participate in monthly college safety meetings to be apprised of all current procedures and to provide input in
their deliberations regarding new procedures and policies. We hold regular safety drills both with the college and
independently so that students know what to do in the case of an emergency.
For 2012-2013 we are continuing to put emphasis on character education through formal curriculum at each grade level.
Community Engagement: Engage the community in a process that provides for open, transparent, and inclusive participation of
community stakeholders in WCCUSD planning and provides for meaningful dialogue on critical issues. This will be fostered and
sustained on a district-wide level by continuously improving WCCUSD internal capacities and capabilities to engage all stakeholders.
We engage all members of our community through committees,events and Technology:
• We hold four parent nights per year, with a high level of participation • We hold a "culture night" once per year, with all members of our surrounding community invited • We engage members of the community college through regular lunchtime meetings
• We include student and parent representatives in our PTSA, our School Site Council, and our GATE committee. • We use the autodialer to keep parents informed of events at the school. • In 2012-13 it is our plan to restructure our website and emails as tools to keep our community inform.
Stewardship: Continually strive to improve the effective and efficient use of financial and other resources. Stewardship is the wise
use of resources and the attribute by which the district can build and maintain public trust.
Our school site council has a genuine role in determining the use of district and grant funds. Attendance at council meetings is
strong, and all affected groups participate regularly and actively. In addition, our Student Body Association also oversees
student fund raisers and expenditures.
Description of any grants (i.e., Scully) that are not under the purview of the SSC, yet contribute to the school’s path to
academic excellence:
Program Name: Board of Governors SciMath Grant
Program Focus: This grant allows us to provide tutoring at a 4-to-1 ratio for each student enrolled in a college science or
math class. Students study in a small group setting 2-3 times per week, with additional help available after
school.

Strategy to be used during the 2012-13 school year:
Targeted and personalized academic support using cooperative learning and tutoring
Description of the above strategy:
• All students taking college math classes will be enrolled in Early College Seminar classes. • Students will be organized into small groups by subject and, where possible, by college instructor. • Peer and instructor tutoring will facilitate greater comprehension. • Students struggling with classes and requiring intervention will attend the extended day intervention program.
This strategy will address the specific learning needs of students in the following subgroups:
[X] African-American [X] Latino [X] EDY
[X] EL [ ] Special Ed. [X] Other: GATE
This strategy will address the content cluster area(s) of:
[X] Algebra I and II [X] Geometry [ ] Integrated Math
[X] Other: Math seminars for
high level college math
[X] We have used this strategy for 5 year(s) and plan to continue the strategy this year because data shows (include findings
from the SPSA Monitoring form where available):
our early college seminar program has encouraged students to attempt high level math classes. Tutoring support has
boosted success levels in all math classes.
[ ] This is a new strategy this year.
Action steps to implement the strategy:
By August 20 we will
• Inform students of the schedule, format, process and expectations for the extended day intervention and early college
seminar classes.
• Determine curriculum and group students based on academic need for instruction in the extended day intervention
and early college seminar classes. • intervention classes before and after school available for all students
• Start other intervention classes with small, focused groups targeting students struggling at particular math levels
By September 13 we will
• Determine students requiring intervention based on progress report marks. Repeat this evaluation at each progress
reporting period.
• Determine instructional strategies and areas of focus for extended day intervention and early college seminars.
By October 19 we will
• Determine each student's performance as measured by Quarter 1 marks, benchmarks, or standards-based teacher
assessments. Repeat this process at the end of each quarter.
• Know areas of strength and weakness of students by math strand, and re-teach to address gaps in understanding
and knowledge.
• Group students and deliver targeted instruction in the early college seminar and extended day intervention classes to
address their areas of weakness.
By November 9 we will
• Study students' progress and adjust the program and strategies for effectiveness. Survey the students and evaluate
how well students think we are meeting their perceived needs. • Design assessments to help measure student understanding of the content taught.
By January 7 we will - Determine curriculum and group students for instruction in the early college seminar and extended
day intervention classes to address their areas of weakness.
By May 17 we will
• Evaluate the program and go through the monitoring process to see if the strategy should be continued, continued
with adjustment, or substituted with another research based effective strategy to support student success.
• Provide monitoring feedback and notes to the school site council.

Strategy to be used during the 2012-13 school year:
1. Cooperative Learning.
2. Note-Taking (Preferably Cornell Notes) from textbook reading, class lectures and discusions.
3. Active Class Participation/Interaction
4. Extended day tutoring/review at least once a week.
Description of the above strategy:
1. Students will be in groups of four or more students when they work cooperatively in class or laboratory activites.
Leadership will be rotated as the group choose their leader as needed.
2. Note-taking (preferably Cornell note-taking) will be a requirement and will receive credit towards grading marks.
However, student's own technique/style is accepted to expound on key concepts and main ideas.
3. a. After school tutoring/review will be scheduled every Wednesday with additional review to concerned students as
determined by student assessment data.
b. Supervised study period will be a joint collaboration between parents and teachers. Teacher ensures tutoring/review
in school as parents ensure adequate, regular study time at home. Teacher will follow up through quizzaes and
review linking prior knowledge to new lessons.
4. Active class particpation / interaction encourages students to share their knowledge/ideas in class discussions. It will
also enhance better understanding of the lesson. Credited for grades, students will particpate even mor activiely.
[X] We have used this strategy for 3 year(s) and plan to continue the strategy this year because data shows (include findings
from the SPSA Monitoring form where available):
the strategy has proven effective for raising student performance in high school and college classes.
[ ] This is a new strategy this year.
Action steps to implement the strategy:
By Aug-Sept we will - Inform parents and students about the strategies.
By Sept-Oct we will
• Evaluate evidence (student notes) and feedback from parents and students. • Recognize organized and complete journal writing or note-taking or counsel students to improve. • Begin after school tutoring/review available to all students.
By Oct-Nov we will - Target students requiring extra support and refer them to the after school intervention program.
By Nov-Dec we will
• Ensure that all students have developed as a daily routine: 1. Note taking
2. Regular study habits
3. Cooperative learning
By May we will Evaluate the year for the effective impact of this strategy and determine whether we should continue its use
next year, continue with adjustments, or discontinue and use a new strategy.

Strategy to be used during the 2012-13 school year:
Collaborative learning and assessment
Description of the above strategy:
Our students enter high school widely varying levels of historical, geographical and cultural knowledge. Hence, our strategy is
aimed at more accurately assessing student's background knowledge early in the year, then incorporating strategies
that draw upon those students with more background in the social sciences and encouraging them to work and share with
their peers in meaningful ways. This strategy will also prepare students and teacher's for making the transition to National
Common Core Standards, which emphasis group work and problem solving strategies. Examples of this strategy include
group projects (jigsaw of reading, collaborative essays, video projects, Power Point presentations, whole-class discussions,
oral quizzes and group tests (Multiple choice and essay).
[ ] We have used this strategy for year(s) and plan to continue the strategy this year because data shows (include findings from
the SPSA Monitoring form where available):
[X] This is a new strategy this year.
Action steps to implement the strategy:
By Aug-Sept we will inform students and parents of course expectations; faculty will begin learning strategies for Common
Core Standards.
By Sept-Oct we will students will have been given pretests to ascertain skill level and background knowledge
By Nov-Dec we will students will have worked in several group profjects/presentations
By Mar-April we will students will have completed at least two group assessment based on Common Core Standards.
By May we will evaluate the effectiveness of this strategy by giving cumulative evaluations and comparing them with
pretests, as well as student feedback on the strategy's effectiveness. Faculty will research and share strategies for
collaborating learning and Common Core as offered through professional development activities (NCSS and CCSS
conferences, WCCUSD training, TAH participation, etc.

Student Achievement
Career and Technical
Strategy to be used during the 2012-13 school year:
Increase teacher and student awareness for technical marketable skills, allow for integrating into Service Learning and Senior
Project and allow for greater career awareness.
Description of the above strategy:
Teachers will attend seminars and conferences both at and away from the college campus to learn about contextualizing
instructional content (to make it more meaningful), to learn about career ladders, and to make deliberate connections for
students between book knowledge and valuable work skills.
[X] We have used this strategy for 2 year(s) and plan to continue the strategy this year because data shows (include findings
from the SPSA Monitoring form where available):
that through information, education and internships, we have developed genuine connections between school and
technical careers. Students have gained unique and individual intern experiences that have helped them become more
aware of fields in which they have expressed interest.
[ ] This is a new strategy this year.
Action steps to implement the strategy:
By August 13 we will
• Read and develop awareness for the need and value of Tech Prep programs. • Brainstorm how teachers can support student acquisition of work skills in general and those specific skills needed to
succeed without the Tech Prep grant that expired June, 2011.
By September 21 we will - Identify and emphasize skills required for success in the workforce.
By November 16 we will - Determine more ways to integrate service learning and prior Tech Prep options.
By December 14 we will - Continue to deepen our understanding and create more connections between school subjects,
higher education (college knowledge) and work competencies.
By March 15 we will -Continue to deepen our understanding and create more connections between school subjects, higher
education (college knowledge) and work competencies.
By May 15 we will -Continue to deepen our understanding and create more connections between school subjects, higher
education (college knowledge) and work competencies.

Educationally Disadvantaged Youth (EDY) #1
(Socio-Economically Disadvantaged - SED)
Strategy to be used during the 2012-13 school year:
Response to Intervention (RTI) - Collaborative Inclusion Model
Description of the above strategy:
Within the Collaborative Inclusion model core general education teachers are teamed with special education teacher to team teach the
core. General education students and special education students who are struggling receive intensive services during the core
academic period by either the general or special education teacher. The special education teacher teams for two periods with a general
education core teacher, has one period for collaboration with general education teachers and to monitor special education students and
has two tutorial periods to work intensively with special and general education students who need more intensive services.
Our specific program is set up as follows:
[X] We have used this strategy for 8 year(s) and plan to continue the strategy this year because data shows (include findings
from the SPSA Monitoring form where available):
We will have classroom teachers sit in the college course, plan instructional support for the college course with the
college instructors, and then deliver interventional lessons and tutoring support to targeted students as needed to
maintain proficiency.

Culturally Responsive Pedagogy
Strategy to be used during the 2012-13 school year:
Daily use of culturally responsive practices both inside and outside the classroom.
Description of the above strategy:
All staff will support high achievement by all students and close the achievement gap between student subgroups by:
incorporating culturally responsive pedagogy into teaching and learning across the school
effectively using the Equity Walkthrough Protocol to identify areas of focus, and
using culturally responsive approaches with students and other stakeholders
The specific strategy components are as follows:
• Teachers will consistently post the day's standard and agenda on the board at the beginning of class.
• The administration will work with the college to ensure, whenever possible, that our high school teachers have back-
to-back classes in the same classroom. This will allow more time for preparation and bell-to-bell education.
[X] We have used this strategy for 2 year(s) and plan to continue the strategy this year because data shows (include findings
from the SPSA Monitoring form where available):
The walkthrough protocol has encouraged us to be more self-accountable, as a school, for culturally responsive
practices. Through this process, we have identified two important areas for growth.
[ ] This is a new strategy this year.
Action steps to implement the strategy:
By August 13 we will
• Review the equity walkthrough protocol procedures, the definitions and community agreements with the entire staff. • Administration will work with the college to assign classrooms for long blocks of time.
By September 30 we will - Assist all staff in reviewing the equity walkthrough protocol and using it to complete an individual
assessment.
By October 22 we will
• Meet by department / grade level for reflection on effectively using the protocol to increase student achievement and
improve the school environment, with a focus on culturally responsive teaching and learning.
• Conduct an initial internal equity walkthrough using the protocol.
By October 29 we will - Based on the initial walk-through, discuss our progress toward the two critical needs areas, and the
next steps necessary for further improvement.
By October - June we will - Conduct an equity walkthrough with a combined district and site team per established
procedures.
By Monthly we will
• All staff members will conduct monthly walk throughs, paying special attention to whether standards and agendas
are posted.
• Meet to review, monitor and evaluate the implementation of the two actions selected for the school.
By December we will - Administration will work with the college to assign classrooms for long blocks of time in the Fall and
Spring semesters.

Strategy to be used during the 2012-13 school year:
Individualized, targeted Instruction in Cooperative groups: any and all subjects
CAHSEE Prep: all students in grades 9,10, and 11 will take the PSAT and then analyze their strengths and weaknesses in the
computer lab with their English and Math high school or seminar teachers. Teachers will help students strengthen all strands
tested in preparation for passing the CAHSEE, SAT, ACT, etc..
Description of the above strategy:
Differentiated Instruction, opportunity to participate in support for College courses through Early College Seminar
(participation and peer tutoring), and after school Intervention (opportunity to build/clarify/cement key concepts and skills)
for receiving and providing tutoring.
[X] We have used this strategy for 4 year(s) and plan to continue the strategy this year because data shows (include findings
from the SPSA Monitoring form where available):
when students are well-focused and disciplined, this strategy was very effective.
[ ] This is a new strategy this year.
Action steps to implement the strategy:
By August 10 we will
• Create a list of all students on probation who require after school academic assistance, sort them by subject/area of
weakness and area for targeted instruction.
• Review this process as a staff, collect ideas for creating a formalized system of communication between teachers, and
agree on one.
By August 27 we will
• Requisition tutors from the CCC/MCHS SciMath program director. • Counsel higher level math and science students to seek tutoring through the college skills center, or form peer study
groups. • Administer diagnostic assessments/pre-tests to all students.
• Update grade 9-12 lists for academic support based on CST data. • Identify all students who scored at Basic or Below Basic on the CSTs by subject, standard and strand. • Identify strengths and weaknesses of all students based on CST reports, past year grades, and teacher diagnostic
assessments.
• Start extended day intervention for all students. • Call home school-day absences daily.
• Contact parents of students who are absent from or off task during intervention classes.
By September 17 we will
• Add students to the intervention student roster based on progress report marks. • Determine instructional strategies and areas of focus for review during extended day intervention.
By October 15 we will
• Determine each student's performance as measured by Quarter 1 marks, benchmarks, or standards-based teacher
assessments.
• Group students and deliver targeted instruction in extended day intervention classes to address their areas of
weakness.
• Repeat this action step at each marking period
By December 10 we will
• Choose additional appropriate strategies for improving student understanding and evaluate those currently in use
(cooperative learning with college tutors, some student peer tutoring). • Discuss student progress in Semester 1, challenges faced and possible solutions, self-assess effectiveness of the
program based on data gathered. • ELA and ECS math instructors schedule computer lab in preparation for analysis of PSAT results; analize data as
scheduled upon arrival of materials
By May 13 we will
• Evaluate the program and go through the monitoring process to see if the strategy should be continued, continued
with adjustments, or substituted with another research based effective strategy to support student success.
• Provide the monitoring feedback and notes in writing to the school site council.

(Before/After/Saturday School)
Strategy to be used during the 2012-13 school year:
Extended day tutoring for all subjects, and focused small group tutoring for targeted subjects.
Description of the above strategy:
Trained college and MCHS tutors, as well as MCHS instructors, help MCHS students during extended day tutoring..
[X] We have used this strategy for 4 year(s) and plan to continue the strategy this year because data shows (include findings
from the SPSA Monitoring form where available):
that early intervention has helped students achieve at a higher level. Students like studying together and build a sense
of community while working together. More students earned "A" and "B" marks, and more were eligible for higher
rigor courses in ELA, math, and science.
[ ] This is a new strategy this year.
Action steps to implement the strategy:
By August 20 we will
• Determine students who need extra support (CST) • Administer diagnostic assessments/pre-tests to all students
By August 27 we will
• Identify strengths and weaknesses of all students based on CST reports, past year's grades, and teacher diagnostic
assessments.
• Identify all students who scored at Basic or Below on the CSTs by subject, standard and strand. • Update 9-12th grade reading lists for academic support with CST data. • Start extended day intervention classes for all students.
By September 17 we will
• Add students into the student roster based on progress report marks. • Determine instructional strategies and area of foci for review during extended day intervention.
• Repeat the step at each progress report and marking period.
By October 15 we will
• Determine each student's progress as measured by Quarter 1 marks, benchmarks, or standards-based teacher
assessments.
• Group students and deliver targeted instruction in extended day intervention classes to address their areas of
weakness.
• Repeat this process at each marking period.
By December 10 we will
• Choose additional appropriate strategies for improving student understanding and evaluate those currently in use
(cooperative learning with college tutors, student peer tutoring).
• Discuss student progress in Semester 1, challenges faced and possible solutions, self-assess effectiveness of the
program based on data gathered.
By May 13 we will

Student Programs
School Climate #1
Strategy to be used during the 2012-13 school year:
Daily use of Culturally Responsive classroom management plans and behavior policies to decrease disproportionality in
referrals and suspensions and increase the positive engagement of all students.
Description of the above strategy:
• Culturally Responsive engagement strategies will be used by all staff
• Schoolwide Culturally Responsive ways of managing behavior and discipline will be implemented consistently across
the school
• Situational appropriateness as it relates to both social and academic behavior will be consistently taught at all grade
levels.
Our structure allows each teacher to engage with each student as an individual. We understand the background and needs of
each student, and when necessary, we use this knowledge to manage behavior and discipline in a culturally responsive manner.
[ ] We have used this Program for year(s) and plan to continue the Program this year because data shows (include findings
from the SPSA Monitoring form where available):
[ ] This is a new Program this year.
Action steps to implement the Program:
By August 10 we will
• Study student data, including CST performance, benchmarks, grade distribution in high school and college courses,
etc. • Develop a common presentation to share individual CST scores with classes of students, and then use that
presentation to help students understand their own strengths and weaknesses as measured by the CST. Teachers
will use grade level and individual data to develop scaffolding for instruction. Teachers will collaborate in planning
articulated and rigorous lessons.
• Develop and implement character education curriculum at all grade levels.
By September 16 we will
• Hold our first progress report night, where students receive feedback on all coursework and behavior expectations. • Hold weekly check-in meetings with the school sub-groups during intervention and extended learning programs. • Begin to analyze and discuss student performance and progress on a monthly basis. Students "at risk" will be added
to after school study groups.
By Daily we will - Remind and hold students to high expectations.
By Monthly we will
• Plan extended day study sessions as they determine students require support • Collaborate with college instructors and establish communication with the teachers who have MCHS students in
their classes.
By May 13 we will Evaluate this strategy for effectiveness and record adjustment or recommend a new research proven
strategy to address climate and submit to SSC in written form.

Agreements
The following critical compliance items are in place throughout WCCUSD:
Highly Qualified Teachers: All teachers and paraprofessional involved in our academic programs will meet NCLB’s highly
qualified requirements. Our site coordinates with the WCCUSD Human Resources Department to ensure compliance with this
item.
Strategies to attract and retain high quality teachers: Our site acknowledges the importance of attracting and retaining high
quality instructional staff. Our site coordinates with the WCCUSD Human Resources Department to develop programs and
strategies to ensure high quality instruction staff want to come to and remain at our site.
Learning Center Collaborative Model: Each WCCUSD school that runs a collaborative model provides a seamless approach to
integrating personnel, resources, and teaching strategies to serve at-risk special and general education students. Special education
teachers may work with unidentified students and regular education teachers may work with identified students (as long as they
are qualified to meet the goals on the students’ I.E.P.s).
Staff development, selected strategies to implement or continue, and materials used are focused on meeting the needs of at-risk
and general education students. This information is detailed in the SPSA. Any funds spent to support the model are also outlined
in the SPSA. Finally, staff is consistently monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the collaborative model so that changes
can be made where needed.
Parental Involvement: We recognize that parents/guardians need to be purposely involved in the education of their children.
Our school will develop systems and opportunities for parents/guardians to understand the grade level standards and assessments,
as well as participate in learning at home and decision-making activities. Many of our parental involvement activities are reflected
in our SPSA. The following represents our agreements:
o Our site provides parents with individual student performance information and assistance with interpretation of the state
assessment results through the following activities:
• grades and CST data mailed home at each appropriate period
• four parent nights per year
o Our site provides information and assistance to parents on how to understand academic content standards, assessments
and how to monitor academic progress through the following activities:
• freshman orientation, with parent and student attendance mandatory
• four parent night meetings per year
o Parents have opportunities to attend meetings to discuss programs and decisions related to their child’s academic
performance as follows:
• general parent night meetings four times per year • open meetings for parents with GATE and EL students • parent participation on school site council and MCHS advisory council
o Students who have difficulty attaining proficiency are identified and provided with additional academic help.
o Parents have the opportunity to submit comments on the SPSA to the LEA if they do not find the plan to be satisfactory.
Schoolwide Plans and Homeless Children and Youth: In accordance with McKinney Vento Federal Homeless Assistance
Law, the following actions are taken:
o Flyers are posted in the front office stating the rights of homeless children and services available. These flyers are made
readily available to homeless families.
o Staff is trained before the start of each academic year on how to enroll and identify homeless students by the district’s
homeless liaison.
o Teachers receive yearly training on how to identify warning signs which may indicate homelessness and sensitivity
training on the special needs of homeless children and youth.
o Parents without homes are included in outreach efforts by parent involvement outreach workers for inclusion in school
site councils.
