Information about the school, its programs, and its goals.

Tobinworld II is a coed day school serving students with behavioral problems between the ages of five and 22. Typically, Tobinworld students are qualified for special education services with one of the following diagnoses: emotional disturbance, autism, Developmental disabilities or severe learning disorder. Students with other health impairments are also accepted. At Tobinworld II, problem behaviors are treated with a highly consistent, individualized and structured positive behavior modification program that features a wide variety of reward opportunities. Academic instruction is highly individualized and includes the use of direct, programmed and computer-aided instruction. One of the main goals for students at Tobinworld is to achieve improvement in behavioral and academic performance in order to successfully transition to mainstream public school and/or to community program sheltered work.

Tobinworld II provides a comprehensive school safety plan that is reviewed, updated and discussed with the school faculty on a regular basis. The main key elements of the safety plan can be located in the Tobinworld Disaster and Mass Casualty Plan of Action manual and also in the Tobinworld Emergency Procedures manual. Key elements of the school safety plan are as follows: pupil drill; teacher drill; school safety committee personnel description and responsibilities; emergency operations center personnel and its location; description and responsibilities of a triage team; search and rescue teams; fire suppression team and utility survey team; emergency appointed assembly team; student/staff accounting team; parent/student reunion gate team; and a psychological first aid team. The safety plan also includes the school/site map description of student/staff assembly area location, emergency student/staff evacuation routes, utility shut-off locations, fire extinguishers and first aid kits and emergency supplies location. The school evacuation plan includes all possible and safe evacuation routes. Key elements of the evacuation plan include student release procedures, parent/student reunion access, student emergency housing, designated school supervision, and family reunion plan.

Information about the school's efforts to create and maintain a positive learning environment, including the use of disciplinary strategies.

Tobinworld II seeks to impart to each student the skills and behaviors he or she needs in order to live as happy, normal, and productive a life as possible. Whenever feasible our goal is to return the student to public school or to a competitive or sheltered work opportunity. The program philosophy integrates special education with behavioral psychology. An individualized program is designed for each student and is carried out by a special education teacher. Specific educational goals are set in such areas as the elimination of inappropriate behaviors, speech and language, academic, self care, independent living skills, social skills, and vocational skills. Tobinworld employs a high ratio of staff to students, enabling each student to receive a significant amount of individualized teaching and therapy each day. Educational and treatment methods used include precision teaching, direct instruction, programmed instruction, multimedia computers, self management, and behavior modification. Special recreational field trip events are scheduled frequently to provide a balanced and varied program.

Data reported are the number of suspensions and expulsions (i.e., the total number of incidents that resulted in a suspension or expulsion). The rate of suspensions and expulsions is the total number of incidents divided by the school's total enrollment as reported by CBEDS for the given year.

Information about the safety, cleanliness, and adequacy of school facilities, including the condition and cleanliness of the school grounds, buildings, and restrooms. Additional information about the condition of the school's facilities may be obtained by speaking with the school principal.

Tobinworld II takes great efforts to ensure that the school campus is clean, safe and functional. To assist in this effort, periodic, planned inspections are made by the Human Resource Director. At Tobinworld, inspection is an essential part of hazard control and we view all inspections as a fact-finding, not fault-finding. We will emphasize locating potential hazards that can adversely affect safety and health. All personnel will be responsible for continuous, ongoing inspection of the workplace. When uncovered, potentially hazardous conditions will be corrected immediately or a report will be filed to initiate corrective action.

In the school�s efforts to keep students safe on school grounds before, during, and after the school day, Tobinworld requires all classroom staff and administrative staff to be assigned in supervising designated specific location areas before and after school during the unloading and loading of buses in the AM morning and PM afternoon times. The school also provides limited/controlled access of campus entrances during the school day. All visitors are to check in with the secretary at the front desk of the school�s main office building. Any students arriving late to the campus are to also check in with the secretary at the office main front desk. Supervision of grounds and buildings is required by teachers, teachers aides and administrators at Tobinworld at all times during the school day.

Tobinworld has 6 classrooms, a reward store/teen lounge reward room, and an administration building. The school maintenance staff ensures that the repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority.

Tobinworld II has adopted cleaning standards for all buildings at the campus site. A summary of these standards is available at the school personnel office. The Human Resource Director at Tobinworld works with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school.

Data reported are the determination of good repair as documented in a completed Interim Evaluation Instrument, including the school site inspection date, the Interim Evaluation Instrument completion date, and the date of any remedial action taken or planned. Additional information about the condition of the school's facilities may be obtained by speaking with the school principal.

Through the California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program, students in grades 2 through 11 are tested annually in various subject areas. Currently, the STAR program includes California Standards Tests (CST) and a norm-referenced test (NRT). The CST tests English-language arts and mathematics in grades 2 through 11, science in grades 5, 9, 10, and 11, and history-social science in grades 8, 10, and 11. Prior to 2005, the NRT tested reading/language arts and mathematics in grades 2 through 11, spelling in grades 2 through 8, and science in grades 9 through 11. Beginning in 2005, the NRT tests reading/language arts, spelling, and mathematics in grades 3 and 7 only, and no longer tests science in any grade.

The California Standards Tests (CST) show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels. The five performance levels are Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets state standards), Basic (approaching state standards), Below Basic (below state standards), and Far Below Basic (well below state standards). Students scoring at the Proficient or Advanced level meet state standards in that content area. Students with significant cognitive disabilities who are unable to take the CST are tested using the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). Detailed information regarding CST and CAPA results for each grade and proficiency level can be found at the California Department of Education Web site at http://star.cde.ca.gov or by speaking with the school principal. Note: To protect student privacy, scores are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or less.
