program implementation model, monitoring and performance management will occur at a minimum of <br />twice per month for each participant. <br />If tutorial remediation is needed, incentives in the form of pay will be offered to encourage <br />participation en lieu of other work-related activities. Otherwise, participants will be encouraged to <br />enroll in career/work related courses that are relevant for their chosen career pathway (several <br />assessment instruments from JIST Publishing will be used in this area). Specific tutorial services <br />designed to deliver academic assistance will take place at each participant's school. These will be <br />offered in consultation with site-level certificated and classified staff members responsible for tutorial <br />programs for in-school youth who are basic skill deficient. While the specifics of these services vary <br />between the secondary schools/programs within the District, they all share common elements such as <br />self-directed tutoring activities tailored to each student's specific deficiencies. Examples of these <br />programs and their locations include: Valley HS- Library & staff; Century HS- Library & staff plus <br />PAL peer tutoring; Santa Ana HS- Homework Cafe (Library) & staff, Saddleback HS- Library & <br />staff; and, Cesar Chavez HS- Library & staff. In addition, students are advised to utilize the Santa <br />Ana's Public Library's Teen Space center for tutoring services, and other tutorial referrals may be <br />made to student resource center at the ROP Ritchey Center where the WIA-funded staff is housed. <br />The WIA performance standard will be addressed in such a manner as to meet required reporting <br />needs through the delivery and evaluation of the proposed services for participants in the Success <br />Bound! program. Certificates of completion and/or test scores will validate the skill attainment rate <br />and count towards WIA credential attainment rate. The graduation or diploma rate will be based on <br />the number of students graduating and/or acquiring a GED. Retention rate data will reflect the <br />enrollment by participants in post-secondary programs; i.e., higher education and/or technical or career <br />training. Since the service provider outcome rates for the past several program years have been in a <br />state of flux when compared to earlier years, the following chart serves to indicate our ongoing <br />commitment to meet and exceed the base WIA performance standards. <br />2007108 Sa le WIA Standards Success Bound! Standards <br />Skill Attainment Rate 84.5% 85% <br />Diploma Attainment Rate 45% 95% <br />Retention Rate 65% 80% <br />Certificates of completion and/or competency will be awarded for many of the proposed activities. <br />Participants who successfully complete ROP courses and meet each courses' minimum competency <br />criteria will be awarded a Certificate of Competency. Participants in the adult mentor program are <br />awarded a Certificate of Completion by Career Beginnings of Orange County. The District awards <br />high school graduates with a diploma and those participants who graduate from a school where it has <br />been the practice to have "senior portfolios" will also have that document which will contain other <br />certificates, awards, etc., that the participant has accrued during his/her high school career. <br />Continuous improvement will be addressed via several procedures. One of the most important is the <br />participant attendance spread sheet used to monitor participant attendance at the bi-monthly <br />leadership/guidance meetings and the monthly adult mentor activities. Another is the payroll spread <br />sheet and it's supporting hourly reporting documentation for every participant who receives pay for <br />paid internships/work experience and/or tutorial incentive pay. This data will assist the Success <br />Bound! program staff in monitoring the participation level of each student. This and other related <br />information will be included in case notes for each client in the local files at the ROP Center. Regular <br />check-ups and monthly evaluations with work-place/internship/staff supervisors will also provide <br />information on both each student's progress and the satisfaction level of the training site staff. <br />Participants will regularly provide feedback on the monthly Career Beginnings of Orange County <br />n <br />O <br />CD <br />L <br />O <br />W <br />n <br />0 <br />(D <br />r- <br />O <br />C <br />CD <br />n <br />0 <br />PIP <br />CD <br />r <br />O <br />C <br />1) <br />13 <br />EXHIBIT A
