COMMENTS? >> THANK YOU.

>> WE HAVE ONE. WELCOME.

>> GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

MY NAME IS DOCTOR POL I'M A PHYSICIAN WHO PRACTICED INTERNAL MEDICINE PULMONARY DISEASE, CRITICAL CARE AND THE CANAL VALLEY MORE THAN 30 YEARS. I PREVIOUSLY APPEARED BEFORE THE SCHOOL BOARD TO EXPRESS GREAT CONCERN REGARDING THE LACK OF RISK-BENEFIT CONSIDERATIONS IN THE APPROACH TAKEN WITH HER SCHOOLCHILDREN RELATED TO COVID-19.

NOW IN RETROSPECT MANY OF THE CONCERNS HAVE BEEN VALIDATED AND WITHOUT APPARENT ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE ACTIONS THAT WERE TAKEN.

I AGAIN APPEAR BEFORE YOU TO EXPRESS CONCERN THAT HEALTH RISK-BENEFIT FACTORS NEED TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN FORMULATING SCHOOL POLICIES. TONIGHT I AM ADVOCATING FOR THE FORMATION OF A HEALTH ADVISORY BOARD FOR THIS BOARD SHOULD INCLUDE MEMBERS WITH PROFESSIONAL HEALTH-RELATED AND MEDICAL EXPERIENCE TO PROVIDE AN ASSESSMENT OF RELATIVE HEALTH RISK VERSUS HEALTH BENEFITS AS TO RELEVANT SCHOOL POLICIES THAT AFFECT STUDENTS OF DIFFERENT AGES.

THE CONTRIBUTION THROUGH HEALTH AND WELL-BEING INCLUDING LONG-TERM HEALTH CONSEQUENCES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WHEN FORMULATING A POLICY RELATED TO THE EDUCATION AND SOCIALIZATION OF OUR CHILDREN. INDIVIDUAL STUDENT SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE ACCEPTED FOR WHO THEY ARE AS INDIVIDUALS AND NOT BE COERCED TO IDENTIFY WITH VARIOUS GROUPS OR IDEOLOGIES.

CRITICAL THINKING SHOULD NOT ONLY BE A CORE VALUE TAUGHT IN OUR SCHOOLS BUT EMPLOYED WHEN MAKING SCHOOL POLICIES.

THE ROLE OF A SCIENTIST IS TO MEASURE WHAT IS MEASURABLE AND MAKE MEASURABLE WHAT IS NOT ALREADY SO.

DETERMINE FACTS MUST BE VERIFIABLE.

TAKING KNOWN FACTS INTO CONSIDERATION AND APPLYING THEM CONTEXTUALIZED PERSPECTIVE ALLOWS TRANSPARENCY AND REVIEW.

FACILITATES DISCUSSION AND APPLICATION WITH ACCOUNTABILITY.

THIS APPROACH LIKELY WOULD HAVE THE EFFECT OF TAMPING ON RHETORIC FACILITATING CRITICAL THINKING PROVIDING TRANSPARENCY RESULTING IN BROADENING OF ACCEPTANCE.

IT WOULD ALSO ALLOW REVIEW FOR A POTENTIAL MODIFICATION AND A CONTINUING REFINEMENT TO CLARIFY AND IMPROVE EXISTING POLICIES.

THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND APPLYING CRITICAL THINKING TO DEFINED HEALTH RISK-BENEFIT CONSIDERATIONS EMPLOYED BY THIS BOARD IS UNACCEPTABLE TO MANY OF US THAT VALUE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OUR STUDENTS. I HAVE PROVIDED CONTACT INFORMATION IF ANYBODY HAS A RESPONSE OR WOULD LIKE TO HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR

CONSIDERATION. >> THANK YOU.

[J. Comments - Board of Education]

>> WE ARE NOW AT TWO JAY, IT'S FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION WE

WILL BEGIN WITH TRUSTEE LOPEZ. >> THANK YOU.

>> I WOULD JUST LIKE TO TAKE THIS TIME TO SAY ALL MY LOVE AND CONDOLENCE ENDS GO OUT TO THE WESTLAKE AND THE UST FAMILIES, FRIENDS, CLASSMATES, TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS AND COMMUNITY.

[00:50:01]

EVERY STUDENT WHETHER THEY KNEW WESLEY OR NOT HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY HIS PASSING. I SEND ALL MY SUPPORT TO THE STUDENT STILL IN THE HOSPITAL AND HOPEFULLY RECOVER SAFELY.

DURING THIS TIME I URGE MY FELLOW STUDENTS TO UTILIZE MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM.

I HOPE TO EVERYONE BE KIND AND RESPECTABLE TO ONE ANOTHER AS WE ALL GRIEVE TOGETHER. PLEASE KNOW I A STUDENT DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE IN THE DISTRICT AS A WHOLE ARE HERE WITH YOU IN HERE FOR YOU NOW AND ALWAYS.

AT THE LAST MEETING WE WERE JOINED BY THE NEWLY ACCEPTED MEMBERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE THE TRULY ATTENDED A GREAT MEETING AS WE APPROVED 9150 WITH THE AMENDMENT PREVIOUSLY SUGGESTED BY THE SPORT.

WE ALSO RECEIVED A THOROUGH PRESENTATION BY MR. LOU AND MEMBERS TO ASK OPPORTUNITY ABOUT THE PROCESS.

THERE'S ALSO A SUGGESTION TO ADDRESS THE USE OF NONQUANTITATIVE LANGUAGE SO WE CAN BE MORE SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT IT. ADDITIONALLY WE REVIEWED THE PALLET THAT WE USED AT OUR NEXT MEETING TO ELECT OUR NEW EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS FOR THE 20 23,2020 FOUR GROUP.

THERE WERE SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE FINALS BEFORE WINTER BREAK SHIFT AND EVERYBODY WAS VERY EXCITED TO HEAR THAT THAT HAS BEEN MADE OFFICIAL. WE ALSO RECEIVED A SHORT INTRODUCTION IN THE FOLLOWING SHORT CONVERSATION ABOUT THE LGBTQ+ ADVISORY COUNCIL WHERE WE TALKED WITH MS. ASHMORE ABOUT THE GROUP AND WHAT INFORMATION THEY WOULD LIKE TO LEARN FROM THE STUDENTS. LASTLY WE HAD AN UPDATE FROM THE FINANCIAL LITERACY'S CURRICULUM SUBCOMMITTEE WHICH IS A NEWLY FORMED SUBCOMMITTEE AND WERE EXCITED TO SEE WHERE IT GOES FROM HERE. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU TRUSTEE LOPEZ, TRUSTEE GOLDBERG.

>> IT WAS VERY SPECIAL TO START THIS MEETING OFF WITH THE HONOR BANDS AND THE REFLECTION WINNERS AND CIF, WRESTLERS.

IN SIX YEARS OF HIS CONSTANT PRESENCE AND VOICE WILL DEFINITELY BE MISSED. BUT WE GET HIM FOR TWO MORE MONTHS. A LOT HAS HAPPENED SINCE WE WERE HERE LAST. I'VE BEEN TO A LOT OF MEETINGS, MUSICAL THEATERS AND VISITS AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS.

BUT ALL OF THAT PALES IN THE FACE OF WHAT WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE PAST 30 HOURS OR SO. I WANT TO THINK PRINCIPAL JASON, DOCTOR MACLACHLAN AND LAUREN GILL FOR THEIR WORDS AND THEIR LEADERSHIP DURING THIS TIME. EVERYONE'S FIRST THOUGHT IS HOW BEST TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS AS IT SHOULD BE.

IT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AND DEEPLY APPRECIATED, DOCTOR MACLACHLAN AND DOCTOR BRANHAM ARE WORKING ON FUMES BUT WORKING AT 1000% AND THEY ARE GIVING IT ALL TO THE SITUATION.

THE SAME CAN BE SAID FOR OUR TEACHERS, OUR CLASSIFIED STAFF, MAINTENANCE OPERATION, EVERYONE WITHIN THE FAMILY.

OUR AMAZING COUNSELORS LED BY DOCTOR CHAMBERLAIN GAVE COMFORT AND CARE TO OUR STUDENTS AS WELL AS OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF AT WESTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL AND THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

AND I EXPECT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO DURING THESE COMING DAYS. I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK CHIEF PARRIS AND HIS TEAM WHO CONTINUE TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND YESTERDAY AND AS THEY INVESTIGATE AND SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS, STAFF AND THIS COMMUNITY.

THIS IS HARD FOR THEM TO AND THEY CANNOT BE MORE PROFESSIONAL AND PRESENT. IT'S AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION FOR ACCURATE INFORMATION, THE BEST SOURCES ARE THE DISTRICTS WEBSITE, SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL AS THE VENTURA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THOSE ARE SOURCES THAT WE TRUST AND THEY WILL HAVE THE FACTS NOT THE SPECULATIONS.

WHAT I KNOW TO BE TRUE IS THIS. THE CONEJO IS FULL OF CARING, KIND PEOPLE WHO TRULY SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER.

WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE AS MY MOTHER USED TO SAY.

THIS GUTWRENCHING HEARTBEAT SKIPPING WAITING TO EXHALE TRAGEDY TOUCHES US ALL BECAUSE IT IS SO INCUMBENT SYBIL AND YET SO EASY TO IDENTIFY WITH. EVERYONE CAN PICTURE SOMEONE THAT THEY LOVE ON THE ALL-TOO-FAMILIAR STREET.

[00:55:04]

EMPATHY IS A ALIVE AND WELL. WHERE CHILDREN ARE HURTING AND WE ARE HURTING WITH THEM. WE FEEL FOR THE WELLING FAMILY AND FOR THE FAMILIES OF THOSE INJURED AND WITNESS TO THE HORRIFIC SCENE. WE FEEL FOR THE FAMILY OF THE DRIVER OF THE CAR, WE DON'T YET KNOW HIS STORY AND MAYBE WE NEVER WILL PRE-WE KNOW THE FAMILIES PAIN BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW WE WOULD FEEL IF IT WAS OUR CHILD.

I SPENT TIME WITH OUR STUDENTS BEFORE THE BREAK AT THE MUSEUM OF TOLERANCE IN TODAY AGAIN AT THE OPTION WITH MUSEUM OF THE REAGAN LIBRARY. I HAVE SURVIVORS IN MY FAMILY AND IN MY HUSBAND'S FAMILY. THEIR STORIES AND THE STORIES TOLD TODAY AT REAGAN ARE DIFFERENT BUT THE MESSAGE IS ALWAYS THE SAME. BE KIND.

BE TOLERANT. WE NEED EACH OTHER TO SURVIVE.

NO ONE CAN NAVIGATE THIS WORLD ALONE.

WE ARE ONE COMMUNITY, PLEASE KNOW I AM HERE FOR YOU.

ON A FINAL NOTE AS WAS NOTED EARLIER IT IS ALL DISTRICT MUSIC FESTIVAL SEASON. I WAS GRATEFUL LAST NIGHT FOR THE SUSPENDED BEAUTY THAT WAS ACQUIRED FESTIVAL.

MRS. ONLY ACT WAS AMAZING GREAT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS WERE UNBELIEVABLE. IT WAS A NICE REPRIEVE.

IN A TIME OF CELEBRATION. I SUGGEST IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE, YOU ALL GET TO AT LEAST ONE GRADE I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THE CONEJO SCHOOL FOUNDATION, TO THE CITY INTO COPD WHO IS ALSO HURTING AT THIS TIME. FOR THEIR PARTNERSHIP AND DOING WHAT'S BEST FOR KIDS. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU TRUSTEE GOLDBERG. TRUSTEE SYLVESTER.

>> GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. WELCOME BACK FROM SPRING BREAK.

I WOULD LIKE TO PUBLICLY CONGRATULATE ALL OF OUR ON ARIZ AND THANKS ONCE AGAIN FOR STUDENT REPORTERS I JUST LOVE HEARING FROM THEM. MAYBE A LITTLE RETURNED IT BUT YESTERDAY WAS A REALLY TOUGH DAY FOR EVERYONE IN THIS CU VS COMMUNITY. OUR STUDENTS, TEACHERS, PARENTS, STAFF, ADMIN, TRUSTEES. ALL OF US WERE SHOCKED AS NEWS OF THE SENSELESS TRAGEDY STARTED TO FILTER OUT.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FAMILIES AND THE FRIENDS DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THIS OR INCLUDING THOSE STUDENTS AND STAFF WHO WITNESSES EVENT. I REALLY DON'T HAVE THE WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW DEEPLY SADDENED I AM BUT I SAY THIS REMARKABLE COMMUNITY HAS REALLY RALLIED IN SUPPORT.

LAST NIGHT STUDENTS CAME TOGETHER IN FRONT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL WITH INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT AND LOVE FOR THE YOUNG MAN WHO LOST HIS LIFE AS WELL AS THE OTHER VICTIMS. THEN LAST NIGHT THE CONEJO SCHOOLS FOUNDATION ON DISTRICT MUSIC FESTIVAL AS MS. GOLDBERG DECIDE HELD ITS OPENING-NIGHT WHICH FEATURED THE SCHOOLS ON THE WESTLAKE CLUSTER, LISTENING TO THE BEAUTIFUL VOICES OF HER ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS EVERYONE FROM THE VERY LITTLE KINDERGARTNER ALL THE WAY UP TO THE STUDENTS WHO WILL BE GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR IN THE FINALE ALL SINGING TOGETHER WAS REALLY INSPIRING AND UPLIFTING. THIS MORNING AT WESTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL THE GRIEF IN THE SENSE OF LOSS WAS PALPABLE.

BUT THE BOUQUETS OF FLOWERS LINING THE BRIDGE AND GROWING AS STUDENTS ENTER THE CAMPUS AS WELL AS A MEMORIAL AT THE CORNER OF THOUSAND OAKS AND LAKEVIEW CANYON.

IN INTERSECTION WE ALL KNOW VERY WELL READ THESE WERE VISIBLE SIGNS OF THE CAMPUS AND COMMUNITY MORNING THIS HORRIFIC LOSS. THANK YOU TO PRINCIPAL JASON BROWN AND HIS TEAM DOCTOR MACLACHLAN AND HIS TEAM, THE FIRST RESPONDERS AND EVERYONE IN AND OUT OF HER DISTRICT WHO HAVE OFFERED THEIR SUPPORT THEIR RESOURCES IN THE PRESENT.

I'M GRATEFUL TO BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND ENGAGED OF CARING PEOPLE WHO PULL TOGETHER AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER HEALING WILL BE A LONG AND DIFFICULT PROCESS I NOR COMMUNITY WILL DO ALL THAT THEY CAN FOR THE IMPACTED FAMILIES.

LIFE IS PRECIOUS OUR CHILDREN ARE PRECIOUS, BUT APPRECIATE EVERY DAY THAT WE HAVE TOGETHER. THANK YOU.

[01:00:02]

>> THANK YOU TRUSTEE SYLVESTER, TRUSTEE GORBACH.

>> AND YUKON SIBLEY ALSO PEAKED FOR ME LAST.

I WANT TO SEND MIKE CONDOLENCES TO THE WELLING FAMILY, WESLEY WILL CERTAINLY BE MISSED, TO THE PARENTS OF THE SIBLINGS AND I AT TO THE MORE YOUR STAFF WE WERE THERE FOR THE STAFF THIS MORNING AND WE KNOW THEY ARE CARRYING THAT BURDEN WITH THEM ALSO.

THE UNITY OF OUR DISTRICT. TO SEE A PANTHER REPORTER IN ORANGE TYPIFIED HOW WE ALL COME TOGETHER ON A FRIDAY NIGHT MIGHT BE OUR TEAM AGAINST THEIR TEAM BUT OVERALL WE ARE ALL CVUSD AND THE SUPPORT THAT WE GIVE TO THE COMMUNITY IS JUST OUTSTANDING.

LIKE I SAID, THE SUPPORT OF THOSE TEACHERS CARRYING THE BURDEN AND LOOKING FOR THE BEST FOR THEIR STUDENTS TODAY IN THIS HEARTFELT DAY IT WAS POIGNANT. I KNOW IT MAY HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME AGO AND I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS BEFORE THE LAST MEETING OR NOT BUT SINCE I MISSED IT I'M GOING TO SAY TODAY CONGRATULATE DOCTOR MOVE OFTEN, STAFF IN THE STATE OF THE SCHOOL IS SEEMS LIKE A YEAR AGO THAT WE CELEBRATE IN THAT.

OUR DISTRICT IS A SUPERIOR DISTRICT IN SO MANY WAYS AND I WANT TO CONGRATULATE EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN LEADERSHIP IN THE WORK OF THE DISTRICT. AS BEEN SAID MUSIC BRINGS US ALL TOGETHER. IT WAS PARTICULARLY POIGNANT LAST NIGHT HEARING THE NEWS AND FEELING EVEN THOUGH IT'S ONLY ONE CLUSTER IT WAS LIKE THE WHOLE DISTRICT IS COMING TOGETHER FOR MUSIC AND THE POWER OF MUSIC IS OUTSTANDING.

AGAIN I WANT TO PASS ON MY CONDOLENCES AND SAY WERE ALTOGETHER WERE ALL HERE TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU TRUSTEE GORBACK.

TRUSTEE POWELL. >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY.

AS MANY OF YOU, FRANKLY I'M FEELING PRETTY BROKEN TODAY.

WE LOST A LIFE, A CHILD'S LIFE AND THERE ARE SO MANY WHO ARE IMPACTED BY THAT LOSS. WESLEY'S FAMILY AND EVERYBODY WHO LOVES HIM AND THE STUDENTS WHO WERE INJURED AND THEIR FAMILIES AND STUDENTS WHO WITNESSED THE ACCIDENT, THAT MAY STAY WITH THEM FOREVER. HER TEACHERS AND STAFF, STUDENTS AND FAMILIES OF WESTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL, CVUSD COMMUNITY, LAW ENFORCEMENT, FIRST RESPONDERS AND OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO GIVE MY CONDOLENCES TO WESLEY'S FAMILY.

I'M SEEING SO MUCH SUPPORT AND LOVE FROM THE COMMUNITY FOR THEM AND I HOPE THEY'RE ABLE TO FEEL THAT DURING THIS VERY TERRIBLE TIME. THE OTHER VICTIMS IN THE FAMILIES ARE ALSO ON MY MIND AND OF COURSE WESTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL COMMUNITY. ALL OF US APPEAR WERE AT WESTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL THIS MORNING AND AS I LEFT THE SCHOOL ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WERE THOSE TEACHERS WHO WERE THEN AT THAT TIME GOING INTO THE CLASSROOMS. TEACHERS WHO WANTED TO SHOW SUPPORT AND STRENGTH FOR THEIR STUDENTS WHILE AT THE SAME TIME THEY ARE ALSO GRIEVING AND IT FEELS LIKE AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK. THE THOUGHT IN THE PLANNING TO SET UP SUPPORTS FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF BEGAN YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO THE NIGHT ENDED TODAY BY JASON BRENNEMAN HIS STAFF AND DOCTOR MCLAUGHLIN AND HIS TEAM WAS PHENOMENAL.

WHILE WE MOURN THE WORLD DOES NOT STOP, WE STILL HAVE SCHOOLS WITH THOUSANDS OF KIDS WHO ARE ATTENDING IN LEARNING AND PLAYING AND GROWING AND EVEN TONIGHT WE HAVE A PACKED AGENDA HAVE TO GET THROUGH WITH DISCUSSIONS AND DECISIONS AND WE HAVE STUDENTS TO CELEBRATE, ARE WRESTLING TEAM NIGHT, OUR ALLSTATE HONOR BAND ENTER PTO REFLECTIONS PROGRAM WINNERS, WE HAVE MULTIPLE NIGHTS AT THE ALL DISTRICT MUSIC FESTIVAL COMING UP. WE HAVE A COUPLE MORE WEEKS OF AFTERSCHOOL OVER SIX GRADERS, WE HAVE SENIORS WHO WERE SOAKING UP THE LAST STRETCH OF THE K-12 EDUCATION AND THEIR GRADUATION PRODUCE SO MUCH TO LOOK FORWARD TO AND HUNDREDS OF TEACHERS AND STAFF WORKING SO HARD EVERY DAY TO SERVER STUDENTS FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE SUMMER BREAK AND I KNOW THERE'S A LOT

[01:05:03]

THERE IS A LOT TO CELEBRATE EVEN AS WE ARE FEELING THIS IMMENSE LOSS. I'M GRATEFUL TO ALL WITHIN CVUSD WHERE HELP SUPPORTING OUR SCHOOLS AND IMPACTED BY YESTERDAY'S EVENT DUE TO MENTAL HEALTH TEAM HERE IN THE DIS DISTRICT, THE OFFERS FROM NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS TO SEND MORE MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES TO US NEEDED TO HELP ANYBODY THAT IS FEELING LIKE THEY NEED MORE SUPPORT DURING THIS TIME WILL REACH OUT AND ASK FOR HELP EVEN ASK FOR THINGS THAT CAN MATTER AND HELP, LISTENING TO YOUR FAVORITE SONG, HUGGING YOUR DOG OR CAT. I DID THAT LAST NIGHT.

GETTING OUT INTO NATURE, SITTING WITH A FRIEND WE KNOW THAT GRIEF AND LOSS IS VERY MESSY. THERE IS NEVER AN EASY CLEAR PATH TO HEALING AND I THINK THE LOVE AND COMMUNITY WILL HELP US.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU TRUSTEE POWELL.

I WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES FOR EXPRESSING SO WELL WHAT WE ALL FEEL INCLUDING THE DEEP IMMENSE APPRECIATION THAT WE HAVE FOR ALL OF THE STAFF OF THE CAMEJO VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. WITH A PACKED AGENDA AND GET A

[K. Comments - Superintendent]

PLEASE. >> TAKE YOU AND GOOD EVENING TO ALL. AS A SUPERINTENDENT THIS IS ALWAYS A DIFFICULT SITUATION WHEN YOU HAVE A STUDENT WHO HAS BEEN LOST IN YOUR DISTRICT OR INJURED IN THE SOURCE PHONE CALL TO BC. AND TO US IS SEEMS TOO COMMON.

FOR A TRAGEDY IN DEALING WITH CONTROVERSY AND THINGS THAT SEEM TO HAVE HAPPENED OVER THE YEARS OF ME SITTING IN THE SEAT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK JASON BRENNEMAN AND HIS TEAM FOR THE WORK THAT THEY DID WITH COMMUNICATION AND WORKING THROUGH THEIR PROCESS AS A SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT OFFICE. LOSING WESLEY AND KNOWING THE HARDY THAT THE WELLING FAMILY IS GOING THROUGH IS PAINFUL.

AND IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO SEE THE COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER AS THEY HAVE TO SUPPORT THE FAMILY AND THE OTHER STUDENTS HAS BEEN AMAZING. BUT IN WORKING THROUGH THIS WITH THE SCHOOL INTERDISTRICT TEAM THAT WORKED YESTERDAY AS WELL WITH THE SITE ADMINISTRATION TO BE THE HOSPITAL'S AND TO BE AT THE SITE OF THE ACCIDENT TO BE INTERCOMMUNICATION AND WORKING THROUGH THINGS WE NEED TO COMMUNITY AND TO COMMUNICATE TO HER COMMUNITY IT IS SAD THAT WE HAVE THIS DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

IT'S NEVER EASY AND EVERY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT BUT WE TEND TO GET THROUGH THINGS HERE AND IT'S DUE TO OUR COMMUNITY AND THE WORK OF OUR STAFF. THE SUPPORT OF CHIEF PARIS AND SERGEANT ALVAREZ YESTERDAY AND THEIR TEAM WAS AMAZING IN THEIR ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE TO US FREQUENTLY AND ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS AND KEEP US IN THE LOOP AND SUCH A TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM AND THAT WAS MY LAST TEXT OF THE NIGHT OTHER THAN MR. BRANHAM. WE SPENT THE DAY GOING BACK AND FORTH IN THE EVENING SHEDDING TEARS.

IT'S NEVER AN EASY SITUATION BUT KNOWING THE SUPPORT THE CAYMAN FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO PLEASANT VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT, VENTURA COUNTY, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE LAST NIGHT WE HEARD FROM THE PARK, PLEASANT VALLEY, LOS LOS OH CHRISTIAN RET FOR THE SUPPORT FROM SURROUNDING DISTRICTS IS VERY HELPFUL IN KNOWING THAT THEY HAVE STAFF ON HAND FOR ALL OF US IF NEED BE.

ONE OF THE THINGS AS WE TALK TODAY AT WESTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL.

THERE IS A LOT OF QUESTIONS. YOU CAN SEE SOME TREPIDATION IN THE TEACHER'S EYES OF HOW AM I GOING TO FACE STUDENTS AND ANSWER QUESTIONS. BASICALLY AS IT SO OFTEN WE TURN TO YOU AS EXPERTS IN THE CLASSROOM, TODAY YOU ARE NOT THE EXPERT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER EVERY QUESTION THAT COMES FORWARD ON THIS TOPIC BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWERS AND IT'S AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION IN A THINK THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE STRUCTURE OF THE SCHOOL TODAY AND THE WAY THE TEACHERS WERE AT WESTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL IN

[01:10:01]

AGAIN, MY HEART GOES OUT TO OUR FAMILIES, TO THE WESTLAKE COMMUNITY. IT'S TOO OFTEN THAT I'M UP HERE HAVING TO SAY WORDS LIKE THIS. AND JUST MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS REACHING OUT GETTING REST, SEARCHING FOR HELP IN LOOKING FOR GUIDANCE WHEN NEED BE. WITH THAT, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU DOCTOR MACLACHLAN. WE ARE NOW AT ITEM THREE ACTION

[A. Business Services - Approval of Resolution #22/23-23: Authorizing the Borrowing of Funds for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 and the Issuance and Sale of One or More Series of 2023-2024 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRANs)]

CAN WE HAVE A MOTION PLEASE. >> PRESIDENT GIL.

>> I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE 22 22 - 2322-23-23 BOARD OF BORROWING FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR '23 - 24 AND THE ISSUANCE OF STATE SALE OF ONE OR MORE SERIES OF 2023 - 2024 TAX AND REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES. TRANCE.

>> THANK YOU DO WE HAVE A SECRETARY MEXICAN.

>> DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM?

QUESTIONS? >> CAN YOU GIVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THIS RECENT HISTORY OF THE USE OF THIS AND HOW IT COMES INTO PLAY WITH OUR BUDGET.

>> THIS IS A SHORT-TERM LOAN FOR BASICALLY LESS THAN 12 MONTHS.

WE BORROWED THIS IN A POOL WITH OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN CALIFORNIA AND THIS IS SOLELY TO HELP THE DISTRICT IN CASH FLOW BECAUSE OF THE TIMING OF PROPERTY TAX PAYMENTS.

AS WE KNOW PROPERTY TAX PAYMENTS AND I WOULD USE THE LAST DAY THAT YOU CAN PAY, NOT THE DAY THAT THEY ARE DUE WHICH IS WHAT I THINK EVERYBODY FOLLOWS WHICH ARE APRIL AND DECEMBER.

IN APRIL AND DECEMBER WITH THE PROPERTY TAXPAYERS WE GET TO LARGE PAYMENTS FROM THE COUNTY FOR THE PROPERTY TAX BUT THE MONTHS IN BETWEEN WE ARE NOT GETTING ENOUGH REVENUES TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS. THIS TRANS LOAN GIVES US THE ABILITY TO HAVE CASH ON HAND DURING THOSE MONTHS UNTIL THE TAX REVENUE COLLECTIONS ARRIVED AT THE DISTRICT AND THAT WE PAY BACK THAT LOAN PAID WE DONE THIS EVERY YEAR FOR A LONG TIME.

THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL, WERE BOTH IN THE RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE BORROWING AND WILL DO A CASH FLOW STATEMENT WHEN WE PREPARE OUR ADOPTED BUDGET TO DETERMINE WHAT LEVEL OF BORROWING WE ARE GOING TO NEED. I THINK FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE WE WERE DOING AROUND 25 - 27000000 A YEAR AND I THINK WERE DOWN TO 10 MILLION A YEAR MANAGING OUR

CASH FLOWS. >> I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THE FACT THAT TAX PAYMENTS HAVE A LATER DEADLINE THIS YEAR.

I GUESS THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT OR BENEFICIAL TO US.

[A. Instructional Services - Presentation: WASC Reports from CVHS and TOHS]

[01:25:05]

WELCOME. >> JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND IN MY TENURE HERE IN THE DISTRICT.

WE HAVE NOT DONE MUCH AT THE BOARD LEVEL WITH WASSER REPORTS.

THIS GREAT EFFORT AT THE SCHOOL SITES TO GET THROUGH THE VISIT IN PREPARATION AND HARD WORK GOES INTO PREPARING FOR THAT VISIT. BUT IT'S NEVER CELEBRATE, DISCUSSED OR SHARED WITH OUR BOARD AND OPEN SETTING.

THESE TWO SCHOOLS WILL BE THE FIRST THIS YEAR TO BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO PRESENT THEIR WASC REPORTS IN THE KEY FINDINGS FROM THE REPORTS IN JUST THE ONE THAT OUR BOARD IS AWARE WHAT COMES OUT OF THOSE WASC VISITS INTERCOMMUNITY.

WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MR. MANSOUR.

>> I BRIEFLY ON THE SLIDE BEFORE MANSOUR BEGINS TALKING ABOUT HIS WASC REPORT FOR CONEJO VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL.

JUST SOME INFORMATION ON THE ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES.

THIS IS A REGIONAL ASSOCIATION THAT PROVIDES ACCREDITATION TO OUR HIGH SCHOOLS AS WELL AS ADULT SCHOOLS.

THE WASC CRITERIA IS FOCUSED ON THE RESEARCH-BASED SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PROCESS. REALLY THAT PROCESS IS GUIDED AND DIRECTED BY STAFF REFLECTION AS WELL AS FEEDBACK AND INPUT PROVIDED BY THE WASC VISITING COMMUNITY.

THE WASC SELF STUDY AS WELL AS THE VISIT ITSELF IS BROKEN UP INTO THE FIVE FOCUSED AREAS IN A NOTING ORGANIZATION, CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION, ASSESSMENT AND SCHOOL CULTURE.

I WOULD SAY HAVING GONE TO THE PROCESS MYSELF, 95% OF THE WORK IS BUILDING THE SELF-STUDY AND ANALYZING DATA AND WORKING TOGETHER AS TEAMS TO PROVIDE AN ANALYSIS AND A SELF REFLECTION ANALYSIS OF THE FIVE REALLY IMPORTANT FOCUSED AREAS.

AT THAT POINT THE WASC VISITING COMMITTEE WHICH TYPICALLY IS REFLECTIVE OF THE TYPE OF SCHOOL IS BEING VISITED.

IN THE CASE OF CONEJO VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL IN THE VISITING COMMITTEE ALL HAD A GREAT WEALTH OF ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE AND FOR THOUSAND OAKS HIGH SCHOOL THE VISITING COMMITTEE REALLY REFLECTED THE CONFERENCE OF HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE BASE PRE-THE VISITING COMMITTEE COMES IN AND REALLY LOOKS TO VALIDATE THE REPORTS GENERATED BY THE SCHOOL AND PRIOR TO A FINAL REPORT TO THE SCHOOL'S FACULTY. PART OF THAT REPORT FOR THE VISITING COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION TO THE CALIFORNIA TO PRIMITIVE EDUCATION ON DIFFERENT LEVELS ACCREDITATION BEING SIX-YEAR, THREE-YEAR OR ONE-YEAR ACCREDITATION.

THAT IS BRIEF INFORMATION. REALLY HAPPY TO HAVE MR. MANSOUR COME UP AND PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT CONEJO VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL.

>> FIRST OF ALL THE CONEJO VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESSED ITS DEEPEST SYMPATHIES AND SUPPORT TO THE DIRECTLY IMPACTED STUDENTS, FAMILIES AND FRIENDS IN THE WHOLE WESTLAKE WARRIOR COMMUNITY. PRESIDENT GILL, DOCTOR MCLAUGHLIN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD IN OUR DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE SAKE OPPORTUNITY THAT IS POINTED OUT TO PRESENT TONIGHT. I HAVE HAD 37 YEARS, HARD TO BELIEVE IN SECONDARY EDUCATION. 28 YEARS AS AN ADMINISTRATOR AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S EXACTLY RIGHT BUT RIGHT ABOUT 15 WASC VISITS THAT I'VE BEEN PART OF. I'VE HAD A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH THAT. OUT OF ALL OF THESE VISITS I WOULD CLASSIFY THIS ONE AS THE SMOOTHEST AND THAT SAYS A LOT.

THE CREDIT I BELIEVE GOES TO, I KNOW GOES TO OUR FACULTY AND OUR SELF-STUDY COORDINATOR STEVE MOZ.

AND AS MR. LOU MENTIONED THE VISITING TEAM WAS MADE UP OF THREE CONTINUATION HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS WHO SEES THROUGH THE SAME LENS AS WE DO. I FEEL THE VISIT WAS A VALIDATION OF OUR SCHOOL AND THE ACCURACY IN THE SELF-STUDY THAT

[01:30:01]

THEY EMPHASIZE STRONG EMPHASIS AND THE STAFF IN THE STUDENTS.

WE PROVIDE THE MULTITIER SYSTEM OF SUPPORT, I'M NOT QUITE TO READ ALL OF THESE JUST TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THEM IN THE PLACE OF CONEJO VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL ON EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND STUDENT WELLNESS PER THE EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. THE TARGETED INTERVENTION STUDENTS NEEDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND THE SCHOOLS FOCUS ON HELPING OUR STUDENTS TRANSITION TO ADULT LIFE.

THE OVERALL SYNTHESIS, SORRY WITH THE STRUGGLE OF THE WORD THAT THEY PROVIDED THESE ARE THERE WORDS IT IS NOT HIGHLIGHTS. THEY EMPHASIZE THE SCL WELLNESS AND SUPPORT PROGRAM THAT ADDRESSES THE SPECIFIC IN CONTINUATION HIGH SCHOOL NEEDS THAT HAS LED TO IMPROVED OUTCOMES IN ATTENDANCE, BEHAVIORS AND CREDITS AND THEY ALSO POINTED OUT THE COMMITMENT TO CORONATION OF A HIGHLY QUALIFIED STAFF AND THAT'S CLASSIFIED AND CERTIFICATED THAT PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH CONSISTENCY IN THE SUPPORT SYSTEM ON CAMPUS AND LEADS TO STUDENTS FEELING WELCOME, REPORTED, CHALLENGED AND CAPABLE OF SUCCESS.

THEY ALSO POINTED OUT THE RIGOR AND THE RELEVANCE OF THE COHESION EXPECTED OF HIGH SCHOOL COURSES AND CURRICULUM AT STUDENTS WITH CV HS WORKING HARD AND BEING SUCCESSFUL.

SPECIFICALLY PART OF THE STUDENT OWNERSHIP OF THEIR EDUCATION, THE CAMPUS AND THE WILLINGNESS TO ADVOCATE FOR THEMSELVES.

AREAS OF GROWTH THAT THEY POINTED OUT, NONE OF THESE WERE SURPRISES. THIS IS PART OF THE SELF STUDY AND REALLY WHAT THEY DID WAS VALIDATE WHAT WE DID WE HAD POINTED OUT OR WE SAID CONTINUING TO GROW OR MOVE IN THESE AREAS. IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO EXPAND ACADEMIC OFFERS, OFFERINGS AND SUPPORT IN INSTRUCTIONAL PERIODS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES. INVESTIGATE WAYS TO ASSESS A MEASURABLE DEVELOPMENT ON TEACHER PRACTICE AND THE IMPACT ON STUDENT PERFORMANCE. THEY POINTED OUT THAT WE CAN USE THE SCIENCE LAB. CONTINUE THE DEVELOPMENT OF CROSS CURRICULAR PORTFOLIO ON STUDENT CONFERENCES AND MAKING A LOT OF HEADWAY ON THIS AND BOTH ARE BEING PILOTED NOW.

THE INCREASE TO CONTINUE TO WORK.

ENGAGEMENT AND REESTABLISH A DRUG AND ALCOHOL PROGRAM WE WORKED WITH THE CBH AND THAT WAS PULLED A FEW YEARS AGO AND WERE TRYING TO REINTEGRATE INTO THE SCHOOL.

AS FAR AGAIN THE SYNTHESIS CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE RESOURCES TO PROVIDE INCREASED OPPORTUNITIES FOR CREDIT TO IMPROVE GRADUATION RATES, STUDENT MOTIVATION ENGAGEMENT AND SECONDARY GOALS. DEVELOP APPROPRIATE METRICS FOR STUDENT. IN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND LOCAL DISTRICT AND COMMUNITY AGENCY DATA, DEVELOP AND BECOME FRIENDS OF TRAINING PLAN WITH IDENTIFY GOALS, TIMELINES AND ADDITIONS, SUBTRACTIONS ON FUNDING TO REFLECT EMERGING AND ONGOING STUDENT NEEDS AND FINALLY EXPAND THE UTILIZATION OF TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE STUDENT ACCESS AND ENGAGEMENT AND REAL-TIME FEEDBACK ON STUDENT SUCCESS.

FINALLY WHAT OUR NEXT STEPS WILL BE PAID FIRST OF ALL FIRST TWO REVIEW THE ACCOMPLISHED OR CONTINUE TO WORK ON IN REVIEWING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL WITH OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM AND THE FACULTY MEETINGS AND OUR STUDENT SENATE INTO PROVIDED UPDATED ACTION PLAN INCORPORATING THE RECOMMENDATION TO WASC BY APRIL 4 SO THE STATE HAS THAT.

ONE THING THAT WE DON'T GET AND I KNOW HE DID NOT GET IT EITHER.

WE DON'T GET THE ACTUAL ACCREDITATION TERM.

THEY PRESENT THAT TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO WASC AND WASC WILL LET US KNOW WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS.

PART OF THAT IS UPDATING THE ACTION PLAN AND PART OF THE PROCESS. THE SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL AND TEAMS WILL INCLUDE AND PRIORITIZE THE RECOMMENDATIONS

[01:35:01]

WE'RE JUST WAITING ON THE ULTIMATE OUTCOME AND WE SHOULD KNOW THAT. I'M ASSUMING THAT THIS END OF MAY. THAT SHOULD BE COMING SOON.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT, DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT CONEJO VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO CVHS.

>> DOES THE WASC TEAM, DO THEY PUT TOGETHER OR DO THEY HEAR AND CONSIDER THAT YOU BEEN IN CONTINUATION SCHOOL FOR SIX STRAIGHT TIMES IN TWO YEARS EACH OR UMPTEEN YEARS.

>> I'M SURE WE WERE WE REMINDED THEM SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY ARE AWARE AND THEY ARE ALL PART OF THE MODEL CONTINUATION PROCESS.

IN FACT, WHATEVER TEAM MEMBERS HERE AT SCHOOL HAD WORKED WITH ONE OF THE VISITING TEAM MEMBERS ON THE MODEL CONTINUATION HIGH SCHOOL PREVIOUSLY. IT IS A SMALL GROUP.

>> MR. MANZER AND YOU 15 WASC VISITS TO YOU BUT A PART OF.

HOW MANY TIMES IF YOU PRESENTED THE INFORMATION PUBLICLY OR TO

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. >> THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME.

>> THE 15 WERE NOT ALL. HE LIKELY MY ANTICIPATION WE WILL GET A SIX YEAR TERM WITH A THREE-YEAR VISIT SO THE VISIT YOU HAVE TO PREPARE FOR TWO. LUCKILY I DID NOT HAVE TO DO 15 SELF STUDIES BECAUSE THEY DO TAKE A LOT OF TIME.

>> THANK YOU MR. MANZER, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

DOCTOR BERGMAN. >> LIKE A GOOD FRIEND THAT CONEJO VALLEY WITH A POSITIVE AND PRODUCTIVE WASC EXPERIENCE LAST MONTH AND IF YOU GET TO THE NEXT SLIDE, REAL QUICK IT IS ALWAYS NICE AS A SCHOOL PRINCIPAL TO STAND UP AT THE END OF THE WASC PROCESS AND LISTEN TO THIS GROUP OF SIX COMPLETE STRANGERS TALKING ABOUT YOUR SCHOOL AND HAVING TO WAIT AFTER THEY GET TO 20 OR 25 MINUTES OF KEEPING PRAISE UPON YOUR SCHOOL WHICH IS ALWAYS NICE TO HEAR AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE GREAT POSITIVES THAT I HAD. ONE OF THE OTHER POSITIVES THAT I HAD, THEY DID GET TO THE FEEDBACK.

IT WAS SPOT ON. I REALLY DO WANT TO CALL OUT THE INCREDIBLY HARD WORK OF OUR WASC LEAD DOCTOR CHRIS SWANSON WHO HAS BEEN DOING WASC MAYBE NOT QUITE AS LONG AS MR. MANZER BUT HE'S BEEN DOING IT FOR QUITE A WHILE I BELIEVE SINCERELY TO THOUSANDS AT HER SCHOOL. IN OUR SELF-STUDY PROCESS WAS OUTSTANDING AND HIS HARD WORK REALLY ATTRIBUTE IT TO A LOT OF HER SUCCESS. SEVERAL OF THE STRINGS THAT THEY REALLY WANTED TO POINT OUT. AND I WILL GO THROUGH AND READ THROUGH EVERYTHING ONE. BUT ONE OF THE KEY POINTS THAT KEPT ON COMING UP AGAIN AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, WAS OUR COMMENTS TO US ABOUT HOW STUDENTS AT HER SCHOOL WAS.

EVERYTHING THAT WE DID IN EVERY DECISION THAT WE MAKE SEEMS TO ALWAYS HAVE THE KIDS AT THE CENTER.

IT IS ALWAYS DIRECTED AT BUILDING THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT BETTER WAYS TO SUPPORT THE STUDENTS THAT WE SERVE EACH AND EVERY DAY.

JUST A FEW HIGHLIGHTS. SOMETHING THAT I'M SOMEWHAT PROUD OF. THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A 60-YEAR-OLD FACILITY. THE FACT THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO CALL OUT A CLEAN, SAFE AND WELL MAINTAINED FACILITY.

FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO THINK THE COMMUNITY FOR GIVING US MEASURE I. WITHOUT MAJOR I THAT PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE PRESENT. WE'VE BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD TO CLEAN UP OUR CAMPUS AND MODERNIZE IT.

THEY ALSO AGAIN QUITE OFTEN TALKED ABOUT HOW SUPPORTIVE THE COMMUNITY WAS. HOW MANY PARENTS SHOWED UP TO TALK ABOUT HER SCHOOL AND WANTED TO BE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS.

AND JUST HEARING ANTIDOTES FROM OUR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS ABOUT HOW TRULY INVOLVED OUR COMMUNITY IS IN SUPPORTING THE WORK OF HER TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. THEY TALKED A LOT ABOUT OUR STRONG USE OF DATA ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS IN THE CLASSROOM. WE HAVE SOME WORK TO TIGHTEN UP IN TERMS OF CONSISTENCY. I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT CONSISTENCY. THAT'S A MAJOR THEME WHEN WE GET

[01:40:01]

WE HAVE WORK TO DO TO CLEAN UP OUR SEL CURRICULUM THAT WE'VE BEEN USING FOR THE STRATEGIES THAT WE'VE BEEN USING ON OUR CAMPUS BUT REALLY BEHIND THE CURRICULUM IS A STRONG DESIRE TO TAKE CARE OF THE ENTIRE STUDENT. A FEW OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS FOR COMMITMENT TO COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS.

IT HAS BEEN THE CENTRAL GOAL SINCE MY ARRIVAL IN THIS DISTRICT AND THE 2017 - 18 SCHOOL YEAR.

IT'S REALLY SHOWING UP QUITE A BIT.

THEY CALL THAT OUT. THEY ALSO TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE INTEGRATION OF TECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE FACT THAT OBVIOUSLY THE PANDEMIC AND GOING TO REMOTE LEARNING SPED UP THE PROCESS BUT THE VERY COMPLEMENTARY AND HOW SEAMLESS THE TRANSITION WAS BETWEEN PANDEMIC LEARNING, REMOTE LEARNING AND ONCE WE RETURNED BACK TO CAMPUS HOWEVER, FACULTY WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN AND USE THAT TECHNOLOGY WITHIN THE CLASSROOM.

THE LAST THING I WANT TO MENTION ON THIS PAGE IS THE LAST BULLET.

I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 30 YEARS AND AGAIN, I HAVE NOT BEEN DOING QUITE AS MANY WASC VISITS AS MARTIN.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I WASC TEAM HAS EVER CALLED OUT AS A STRENGTH, RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT OFFICE. WHICH I THOUGHT WAS AMAZING AND I WISH I COULD TAKE CREDIT FOR THAT BUT I CAN'T.

IN REALITY I THINK THIS ACCOMMODATION IS MORE OF A SHOUT OUT TO MR. MERCER, MR. LU AND DOCTOR MCLAUGHLIN FOR BEING SO INVOLVED IN OUR PROCESS, THEY WERE PRESENT ON A CAMPUS FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND AVAILED THEMSELVES TO THE TEAM AND ANSWERED ALL THEIR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT. A LOT OF STRINGS IF YOU COULD MOVE TO THE NEXT SLIDE. IN TERMS OF AREAS OF GROWTH THERE ARE A FEW THINGS I WANT TO POINT OUT.

NUMBER ONE WHEN THEY GOT TO THE READOUT OF THE REPORT.

THE FIRST THING OUT OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIRS MOUTH WAS FOR THE LOVE, PICK A BELL SCHEDULE AND STICK WITH IT.

THAT WAS THE NUMBER ONE RECOMMENDATION FOR GROWTH AND THAT IS SOMETHING OUR TEAM IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE LOOKING AT OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS FOR SURE.

WHAT ARE THE MAJOR THEMES IF YOU GIVE THE BULLET POINTS A GLANCE, ONE OF THE WORDS THAT POPS OUT AT YOU A LOT IS CONSISTENCY.

IT IS SOMETHING THAT WERE TO BE ADDRESSING AND ALREADY BEGAN TO ADDRESS. CONSISTENCY IN HOW WE APPROACH INSTRUCTION NO MATTER WHAT CLASS OR DEPARTMENT THAT YOU HAPPEN TO BE IN. CONSISTENCY IN EXPECTATION OF COMMUNICATION WITH OUR COMMUNITY, CONSISTENCY IN GRADING PRACTICE, THEY DID GIVE US A LOT OF PRAISE FOR TAKING STEPS INTO THE WORLD FOR GRADING FOR MASTERY, THEY WANT TO SEE US CONTINUE DIVING DEEPER INTO IT AND SEEN ALL TEACHERS ACROSS CAMPUS BEGIN TO UTILIZE A LOT OF THE STRATEGIES.

LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE, ONE OF THE POINTS THAT WAS BROUGHT UP.

ANOTHER PARENTS WHO SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO HER SCHOOL, THIS IS BEEN A POINT OF CONCERN AND CONVERSATION QUITE A BIT.

IT KINDA FORGOT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CAMPUS AND KEO AND WHERE DO I GO TO GET ACCURATE INFORMATION ABOUT MY STUDENTS GRADE. WE'RE GOING TO TIGHTEN THAT UP AS SOME POINT VERY SOON TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO HICCUPS IN THAT PROCESS. GREAT.

ONE THING I WOULD POINT OUT ALSO ADJUSTING THE CURRICULUM.

WE'VE OBVIOUSLY WITH OUR NEW BELL SCHEDULE COMING ONLINE NEXT YEAR WE HAVE TO ADJUST THE WAY WE GO ABOUT OUR SEL CURRICULUM AND OUR FOLKS THIS YEAR REALLY WAS NOT VERY SUCCESSFUL.

WE HEARD THAT FROM OUR STUDENTS ENTER TEACHERS IN NEXT YEAR WERE YOU TO BE COMPLETELY OVERHAULING THE WAY WE APPROACH OUR WORK WITH SEL. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

>> OVERALL SUMMARY THANK FOR IT UNDERTAKE FULLY THERE WERE NO SURPRISES. AGAIN THAT IS A DIRECT CORRELATION TO THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WE DID AHEAD OF TIME WITH OUR SELF-STUDY. EVERY BIT OF FEEDBACK AND EVERY BIT OF SUGGESTION THAT THEY MADE WAS MET WITH A WHOLE LOT OF HEAD NODDING, THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. CONSISTENCY IS A MAJOR THEME AND THAT'S REALLY GOOD TO BE SHOWING UP QUITE A BIT IN THIS YEAR'S SIPS IN FUTURE SEPSIS FOR SURE, ONE OF THE OTHER KEY POINTS THAT MAY BE EXCITED TO HEAR WAS THERE WAS AN OVERALL DESIRE, AND

[01:45:02]

RIGHT NOW WE ONLY HAVE ESSENTIALLY TWO MEETINGS A MONTH WHERE I REQUIRE THE ENTIRE FACULTY TO BE THERE.

FOR ANY PARTICULAR MEETING, DEPARTMENT MEETING AND FACULTY MEETING. WE ARE GOING TO SPEND A GOOD DEAL OF TIME AT SITE COUNCIL AND SEPTA WITH HER TEACHER LEADERSHIP TEAM IN ORDER TO START FIGURING OUT WAYS TO BETTER USE THE TIME THAT WE DO HAVE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO HAVE AND WILL BE EXPLORING NEXT YEAR IS COMPLETELY REDESIGNING THE WAY OUR DEPARTMENT MEETINGS WORK IN ADOPTING A PLC APPROACH A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING APPROACH WITH OUR DEPARTMENT TO HAVE THEIR MEETINGS.

ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS WE COULD BE RESURRECTING THIS YEAR'S THOUSAND OAKS UNIVERSITY. COU WAS AN IDEA THAT WAS DESIGNED BY DEEDEE DREYER SOMETIME BACK AND ACTUALLY BEGAN TO DISAPPEAR A LITTLE BIT AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC.

BUT WORKING TO BE BRINGING BACK TEAL UN FORCE.

IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT IS A DEMOCRATIZATION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT WHAT TEACHERS WANT TO BE LEARNING ABOUT, WHAT THEY WANT TO BE SPENDING TIME ON INTO THEIR HANDS.

IF WE HAVE A GROUP OF TEACHERS FOR INSTANCE, IT COULD BE A SMALL GROUP OF TEACHERS, FIVE OR SIX OR SEVEN TEACHERS THAT REALLY WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT PROVIDING OUR ENGLISH LEARNERS BETTER INSTRUCTION, LEARNING MORE STRATEGIES WITH HER ENGLISH LEARNERS, THERE WOULD BE A GROUP ON THAT DAY THAT WOULD GET TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT THAT. AT THE SAME TIME THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER GROUP DOWN THE HALLWAY THAT WOULD BE MEETING IN ORDER TO TALK ABOUT TECHNOLOGY. THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER GROUP DOWN THE HALLWAY THAT WOULD BE MEETING ON THE SAME DAY IN ORDER TO TALK ABOUT NEW AND BETTER WAYS TO PROVIDE STRATEGIES AND SEL INSTRUCTION TO OUR STUDENTS. THIS IS ACTUALLY THAT POINT ANNA BROUGHT A SMILE TO MY FACE AND IT PROVIDES ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET REALLY CREATIVE WITH OUR TEACHERS AND REALLY DESIGN A SYSTEM THAT IS GOING TO WORK WELL FOR US.

WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. LAST BUT NOT LEAST THIS IS SOMETHING THAT APPEARS IN EVERY WASC REPORT THAT I'VE EVER BEEN IN. PLEASE CONTINUE TO SEEK OUT BETTER WAYS TO SUPPORT YOUR MOST VULNERABLE STUDENT GROUPS ON CAMPUS. MAKE SURE THAT THEY ALL HAVE ACCESS TO THE GENERAL CURRICULUM IN YOUR PROVIDING INTERVENTION SUPPORT THAT THEY SO DESPERATELY NEED IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO PROGRESS THROUGH THEIR EDUCATION.

NEXT STEPS, THIS PROCESS AGAIN LIKE MR. MANDERS GROUP HAS ALREADY BEGUN OUR SITE CANCEL WAS BRIEFED ON A WASC VISIT IN OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM. WE PLAN TO SPEND OUR NEXT SITE COUNCIL MEETING WHICH IS HAPPENING NEXT WEEK REALLY DIVING IN AND PUTTING TOGETHER A GAME PLAN SO WHEN WE MEET IN MAY AND WRITE NEXT YEAR'S SPSA ALL OF THE LAW SCHOOLS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ARE GOING TO BE APPEARING IN OUR WASC IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. SO THAT PROCESS HAS BEGUN.

THE SAME PROCESS HAS BEGUN WITH HER LEADERSHIP TEAM AND THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE GOING TO BE SERVING AS A FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE SPSA FOR THE NEXT SIX YEARS.

WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE INFORMATION THAT WE RECEIVED AND

I THINK RON REALLY GOOD FOOTING. >> I THINK THAT IS ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS

FOR ME? >> YES YOU MENTION TWO THINGS I WANT TO COMBINE TWO QUESTIONS INTO ONE.

YOU MENTIONED SEL KNOWING WE HAVE TO DO THINGS DIFFERENT AS FAR AS SEL IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF TEACHERS.

I WAS WONDERING IF THE WASC COMMITTEE.

I'M THINKING FROM OUR STUDENT TO MY LEFT EAR.

THE WASC COMMITTEE MEETS WITH THE STUDENT LEADERSHIP AND THE STUDENTS WOULD BE A PART OF TEAL YOU TO SAY HOW BETTER AS FAR AS

WHAT THE STUDENTS NEED. >> IS A QUESTION THAT YOU ARE ASKING. ARE THEY GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN T OH, YOU? THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN THE PAST BUT IT CERTAINLY IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT AND IF WE LOOK AT WAYS THAT WE CAN BRING STUDENT VOICE INTO THE

PROCESS. >> A LONG TIME AGO THAT A STUDENT THERE BASICALLY, NOT JUST YOUR SCHOOL, OVERALL THEY BASICALLY WERE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE SEL MOVEMENT AT THE

HIGH SCHOOL. >> NOBODY'S BEEN SATISFIED WITH OUR SEL MOVEMENT THIS YEAR, GABBY WILL BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU THAT. WE OPTED TO USE AN OUTSIDE CURRICULUM AND IT WAS NOT WHAT OUR FOLKS NEEDED OR WANTED.

IN TALKING TO HER STUDENTS THAT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT

[01:50:02]

SO I THINK WHEN WE SIT DOWN AND FOR INSTANCE A TOPIC CAME UP IN TOU WHERE THEY WANTED TO TALK ABOUT SEL AND STUDENT VOICES WOULD BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.

>> I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AND DOCTOR MANZER FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE A PART OF YOUR WASC PROCESS. I'VE BEEN APART ABOUT THEIR PROCESSES FOR A LONG TIME. AND I'VE BEEN WITH THOUSAND OAKS HIGH SCHOOL AND EVERY WASC SINCE MY OLDEST WAS THERE STARTING IN 08 - 09. I REALLY WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT. IT WAS REALLY MEANINGFUL FOR ME TO BE A PART OF THE LAST DOCTOR SWANSON LED WASC BECAUSE HE IS A FORCE. I AM GLAD HE IS STILL ON THE CAMPUS TO HELP OUT WHOEVER IS TAKING OVER.

THAT IS BIG SHOES TO FILL. THANK YOU AND THANK YOU BOTH OF YOU FOR SHARING THESE WITH EVERYONE.

A GREAT IDEA DOCTOR MCLAUGHLIN. I KNOW IT IS ONE MORE THING THAT YOU HAVE TO DO BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO SHARE THE GREAT THINGS GOING ON AND TO SHARE WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT WE ARE GREAT AND WERE NOT PERFECT AND WE HAVE THINGS TO WORK ON AND WE ARE DOING THAT.

THANK YOU. >> I'M ANXIOUS TO CONTINUE THE CELEBRATION WHEN YOU BOTH COME BACK AND TELL US YOU GOT THE SIX

YEAR. >> THANK YOU BOTH FOR COMING HERE AND SHARING ALL OF THAT. I'VE BEEN SOMEWHAT INVOLVED A COUPLE TIMES ON THE WEBSITE CAMPUS.

I KNOW IT IS A TON OF WORK TO GO THROUGH.

I APPRECIATE IT AND THE LEVEL OF DETAIL IS GREAT.

I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION JUST TO, ONE OF THE AREAS OF STRENGTHS FOR TIO WAS A COMMITMENT OF DATA.

I HAVE TO SAY EVERY USE THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS WHEN I LOOK AT YOUR SPSA THAT IS VERY OBVIOUS TO ME THAT YOUR USE OF DATA AND METRICS IS PRETTY EXEMPLARY AND THERE IS A LOT OF CREATIVE THINKING THAT HAS GONE INTO THAT.

I APPRECIATE THAT. I SEE THAT IS TRULY A STRENGTH AND WHILE I WOULD ENCOURAGE. MY OTHER COMMENT, A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO WE HAD A PRESENTATION ON MASTERY AND I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT IS ALSO A RECOMMENDATION AND I THINK THE BOARD MADE IT CLEAR THAT THAT WAS SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO THE DISTRICT. AGAIN, THANK YOU BOTH.

>> ANYONE ELSE? >> IS ACTUALLY A AND A QUESTION FOR BOTH OF YOU. FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR COMING AND PRESENTING US AND CONGRATULATIONS IT SOUNDS LIKE A SUCCESSFUL WASC PROCESSES IN A SOUND LIKE NEITHER OF YOU HAD MANY BIG SURPRISES IN TERMS OF FEEDBACK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I WANTED TO ASK YOU ALL FROM ABOARD PERSPECTIVE WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE US TO KNOW IN TERMS OF WHAT AS YOU LOOKING AHEAD TO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHIFT OR CHANGE ON THE FEEDBACK WHAT MIGHT BE THE MOST CHALLENGING ASIDE FROM THE SCIENCE LAB ON YOUR CAMPUS IN ONE OF THE MORE CHALLENGING ONES THAT YOU THINK IT MAY BE FOR YOUR SCHOOL TO IMPLEMENT THE ONE THING WE COULD USE MORE OF HIS TIME, TIME WITH HER TEACHERS AND THE EXCEPTION OF THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR TEACHERS TIME IS THE MOST VALUABLE PIECE OF COMMODITY THAT WE HAVE AT OUR DISPOSAL AND USING MORE WISELY AND GET BE MORE EXCITED TO SEE HOW SOME OF OUR CHANGES THAT WERE GET BE MAKING AS A RESULT OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS.

THAT WOULD BE MY ONE HOPE SOME POINT DOWN THE ROAD ABLE TO GET MORE TIME WITH HER TEACHERS TO TALK ABOUT TEACHING AND LEARNING

IN THE LIGHT OF STUDENTS. >> THANK YOU.

>> THE TWO BIGGEST TASKS AHEAD OF US IS THE DECISION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PORTFOLIO AND THE STUDENT PARENT CONFERENCES.

WERE LOOKING TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT IS DONE AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WHERE THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY ON A SEMESTER BASIS FOR THE PARENT AND THE STUDENT TO COME IN AND MEET WITH THE STAFF MEMBER, FACULTY MEMBER AND A LOT OF THE TIME THAT IS GOING TO BE MYSELF, THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL OR COUNSELOR AND THE TEACHERS ARE GOOD HAVE TO HAVE A

[01:55:01]

THE OTHER THING THAT IS ALWAYS CHALLENGING FOR US ALL SCHOOLS IT WAS MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES THE VISITING COMMITTEE AND AS THEY WERE DIGGING DEEP WAS A WHOLE FUNDING PIECE AND TRYING TO ADD SOMETHING TO DO WHATEVER WE ARE ADDING AND THEY SUGGEST MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS OUTSIDE OF THE SCHEDULES, THE EXISTING SCHEDULES AND MORE. AND WE WOULD HAVE TO FIND

FUNDING TO DO THAT. >> AND Q.

>> I HAD ONE QUESTION FOR BOTH OF YOU THERE WERE A COUPLE OF THINGS NOTED IN TERMS OF SEL. TIO WAS NOTED SOMETHING THAT CAN BE APPROVED UPON IN THIS SEE IHS REPORT WAS NOTED SOMETHING THAT WAS BEING DONE WELL. IS THERE SOME WAYS THAT THE SCHOOLS CAN COLLABORATE SPECIFICALLY AFTER WASC VISITS BUT GENERALLY THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR ON SHARING HOW THEY ADDRESS THEIR STRENGTH FOR THE WEAKNESSES IN ALL THE STUDENTS IS ACROSS THE DISTRICT CAN BENEFIT FROM A PROGRAM THAT ONE SCHOOL MAY BE DOING VERY WELL AT THEIR OWN SCHOOL.

>> THE CHALLENGE THAT I THANK YOU SO MUCH GREATER UNTRADITIONAL SCHOOL HAVING WORKED AT A TRADITIONAL SCHOOL.

WE CAN WITH THE SIZE OF OUR CAMPUS WITH THE SMALLER CLASS SIZE WITH THE CONNECTION WE CAN BUILD WITH THE STUDENTS AND THE TRUST THAT IS THERE IN THE STRONG RELATIONSHIPS.

I THINK WALLACE'S STRUGGLE FOR US TO FIND TIME THERE ARE 70 THINGS THAT WE CAN DO KIND OF ON A DAILY BASIS THAT ARE PART OF OUR PROGRAM AND WHEN I TAKE A STEP BACK AND THINK ABOUT TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT THEY ARE ASKED TO ACCOMPLISH AT THE TRADITIONAL SCHOOLS IN THE CLASS-SIZE IN THE NUMBER AND THE DYNAMICS OF ALL THE I THINK THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN SHARE AND LEARN FROM EACH OTHER HOWEVER, THE TWO DIFFERENT FORMATS AND STRUCTURES. I THINK THE MAKER OPPORTUNITIES

GREATER. >> I WOULD JUST PIGGYBACK ON THAT LITTLE BIT. THERE WERE STRUCTURES GIVEN FROM OUR BOARD GOALS ON THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WE KNOW WE HAVE A BOARD GOAL CONVERSATION WHICH I'M ASSUMING SEI WILL BE A BIG PART WHICH WILL GIVE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS WERE SCHOOLS AND THE CHANGE IN MINUTES OR STRUCTURES THAT MAY ALLOW FOR ADJUSTMENTS TO BE MADE BUT OBVIOUSLY I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S GOING TO BE PAID WILL HAVE A CONVERSATION. PART OF THAT SO WE KNOW THE DIRECTION AND EXPECTATION COMES FROM THE BOARD AS A ROLLOUT TO HER SCHOOL SITES AND WE KNOW SEL WILL BE A BIG PART OF THAT

CONVERSATION NEXT WEEK. >> I WOULD JUST MENTION TO YOU THE SIMPLE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS ABSOLUTELY YES.

WE HAVE THE LUXURY OF HAVING DONE SOMETHING DIFFERENT ON OUR OWN FOR A YEAR THAT DID NOT W WORK.

WERE NOW GOING TO BE ABLE TO SIT BACK AND SIT DOWN WITH OUR COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS AT WESTLAKE AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE YEAR OF THE EXPERIENCES THEY'VE HAD IN FIGURING OUT WHAT'S WORKED IN OR HASN'T WORKED TO THE EXPERIENCE BECAUSE WE GET BE ADOPTED A STRUCTURE THAT WILL BE FAR MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING IT I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THIS WOULD BE TIME I'M SURE THERE WILL BE FAR MORE ALIKE NEXT YEAR END WE ARE DIFFERENT AND THE STAFF WILL BE ABLE TO GET

TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT IT. >> AND Q.

>> I WAS ALSO WONDERING I DON'T HOW IT WORKS AT THE OTHER SCHOOLS BUT I KNOW LAST YEAR I WAS ONLY ONE IN THE ONLY STUDENT MAY BE ASIDE FROM AIDEN WHO WAS PRESENT AT THE SIMPSON SPSA OF G AND WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO BRING IN THE WHOLE CAMPUS GROUP DURING

[02:00:04]

THE SPSA OF MEETINGS. >> ABSOLUTELY.

WE HAVE A LARGE CONTINGENT OF STUDENT REPS ON OUR SITE COUNCIL ANYWAY. WE HAVE NINE STUDENT REPS ON OUR SITE COUNCIL. WHICH IS A VERY LARGE NUMBER, THE TRICK IS GETTING THEM OUT OF CLASS AND INTO THE LIBRARY WERE TO BE WORKING ALL DAY WHEN WE DO OR SPSA OF RETREAT.

INVITATION TO ALL OF THOSE REPS APPEARED WHEN YOUR SCHEDULE ALLOWS IT, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME INTO THE LIBRARY AND HELP CONTRIBUTE. BY ALL MEANS IF WE COULD HAVE MORE STUDENTS COMING AND SHARE THEIR VOICE, WE ARE OPEN TO THAT. THEY WOULD BE NONVOTING MEMBERS BY GETTING THE INPUT WOULD BE DYNAMITE.

>> NIKTHANK YOU. SORRY I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

YOU MENTIONED TIO UNIVERSITY. I KNOW A BIG POINT THAT WAS BROUGHT UP WAS CONSISTENCY. I'M WONDERING HOW THAT IMPROVEMENT TO BE MORE CONSISTENT WILL BE MAINTAINED WHEN YOU HAVE TEACHERS FOCUSING ON THINGS THAT THEY ARE INTERESTED IN RATHER THAN OFFERING SPECIFIC COURSES ON WHATEVER TOPIC TO ALL OF THE TEACHERS SO THEY'RE ALL ON THE

SAME PAGE. >> LET ME CLARIFY THAT.

TIO YOU IS ONE LEVEL OF SERVICE A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING THERE IS A WHOLE OTHER ADDED LAYER TO A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING THAT WILL COME FROM INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES THAT WILL BE SHARED OUT AND EVERYBODY WILL BE HEARING THE SAME AND WE WILL BE WORKING ON THE SAME TOPICS. THERE ARE STRUCTURES AND STRATEGIES IN PLACE THROUGH TOU IF SOMEBODY STRIKES GOLD IN A GROUP WE WANT TO SHOW THAT OUT. THERE WILL BE WAYS THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO SHOW THAT OUT IN THE NEXT TIME TOU MEANS WE WILL BE ABLE TO EXPAND THE SAME CIRCLE FOR THE TEACHERS THAT ARE

INTERESTED. >> MY LAST QUESTION.

I HEARD SOME STUFF ABOUT STUDENTS AND PARENTS GETTING INVOLVED IN THE WASC PROCESS AND SPECIFICALLY TALKING TO THE VISITORS. I'M NOT REALLY CLEAR ON HOW THE STUDENTS AND PARENTS ARE IDENTIFIED AT THE REQUEST OR IF THE RANDOMLY IDENTIFIED. I WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE

PROCESS. >> I WILL START WITH THE STUDENTS, THE STUDENTS THERE ARE MULTIPLE WAYS THAT THE WASC COMMUNITY INTERACTS WITH STUDENTS.

THERE IS INFORMAL METHODS OUT OF LUNCH WALKING AROUND TALKING TO STUDENTS THEY WILL PUT TOGETHER AND AT HAWK PANEL WHERE THEY WILL PULL KIDS AND HAND OUT INVITATIONS TO RANDOM STUDENTS AROUND CAMPUS AND INVITE THEM TO A NARROW LONG SESSION WHERE THEY CAN COME IN AND ASK QUESTIONS. THERE ARE SPECIFIC GROUPS THAT THE WASC COMMUNITY WILL GO AND TALK TO.

I KNOW THAT DURING OUR VISIT THEY SPENT A GOOD LONG OUR SPEAKING WITH HER ASP GROUP IN HER LEADERSHIP, UNDERCLASS TALKING ABOUT THE INTERACTIONS. IN TERMS OF PARENTS A LOT OF THAT CAME AS A RESULT OF ME SETTING OUT AN INVITATION TO AS MANY PARENTS AS I FIND PRETTY GREAT NEWS FOR US THAT WE HAD A HUGE RESPONSE FROM PARENTS WHO WANTED TO GET INVOLVED IN WANTED TO COME UP AND SHOW UP ON A SUNDAY EVENING IN ORDER TO TALK WITH THE WASC COMMITTEE ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES AT THE SCHOOL.

THANK YOU. >> TAKE YOU BOTH SO MUCH.

I APPRECIATE DOCTOR MACLACHLAN'S INSIGHT.

I THINK THIS MIGHT BE REALLY NEW INFORMATION FOR A LOT OF FOLKS IN OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY ABOUT HOW DOES THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS EVEN HAPPEN AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU AND THE TERMS OF THE WAY THAT YOU DO YOUR WORK AND HOW DOES THAT TRANSLATE TO STUDENT EARNING EXPERIENCES.

THANK YOU FOR ELIMINATING ALL OF THAT FOR US.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT. >> THE PIECE THAT THE ACCREDITATION PIECE. WE OCCASIONALLY GET STUDENTS AT CANALE VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL THAT ARE COMING FROM OTHER SCHOOLS THAT AREN'T ACCREDITED AND WHAT THAT MEANS THEY DON'T HAVE ACADEMIC CREDIT. AND THE DIPLOMA MEANS NOTHING IF YOU'RE NOT ACCREDITED. SO THERE ARE THOSE STUDENTS WHO END UP IN DESPERATE NEED OF CREDIT RECOVERY AND WE TRY TO

[02:05:03]

IT IS A SERIOUS PROCESS TO EARN ACCREDITATIONS.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BOTH OF YOU.

[B. Instructional Services - Presentation: Elementary Reading and Literacy]

WELCOME DOCTOR SELLERS. >> BEFORE DOCTOR SELLERS GET STARTED. THIS IS A PRESENTATION THAT WAS REQUESTED PREVIOUSLY BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. PART OF THE REQUEST WAS NOTING THAT THERE HAD BEEN A LOT WRITTEN LATELY ABOUT READING AND LITERACY AND ALSO NOTING READING ABOUT DIFFERENT MOVEMENTS AND HOW LITERACY IS TAUGHT IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN THE REQUEST FOR US TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON HOW WE DO THAT

HERE IN OUR DISTRICT. >> HI GOOD EVENING BOARD MEMBERS DOCTOR MACLACHLAN, BOARD TRUSTEES AND DISTRICT UNDER DISTRICT LEADERSHIP. AS MR. LOU MENTIONED EARLIER THIS YEAR THIS WAS A REQUEST FROM THE BOARD FOR A PRESENTATION. I AM PROUD TO BE APPEAR TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU. I THINK IT IS AWESOME TO THINK ABOUT READING IN THIS WAY AND TO REALLY STRIVE TO MAKE SURE ALL OF OUR TEACHERS AND STAKEHOLDERS UNDERSTAND THAT READING IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL IN THE FOUNDATION FOR OUR KIDS AND ALL THEIR FUTURE LEARNING. IT'S LIKE AN AGE-OLD PROBLEM WITH MATH AND ONCE THEY GET TO THE WORD PROBLEM NOW YOUR READING TO DO MATH AND YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO COPPERHEAD.

I HOPE YOU SEE THE PASSIONATE IMPORTANT THAT WE PUT ON READING

IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. >> I WANT TO TO KNOW THE PROCESS THAT WE WENT THERE. WHEN DIRECTION FROM THE BOARD TO CREATE AND PRESENT ABOUT THIS. THE FIRST STEP FROM ME WAS TO BRING TOGETHER A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO I WOULD CONSIDER EXPERTS IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT IN MEETING AND LITERACY.

THESE ARE TEACHER AND PRINCIPAL LEADERS THAT A BEEN WORKING ON CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT COMMITTEES FOR AT LEAST THE LAST THREE YEARS IF NOT MORE AND PEOPLE THAT I TRUST AND SEEN TEACH OUR EXEMPLARY LEADERS AMONG TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS.

SO TOGETHER WE HAVE DUG DEEPER INTO THIS AIR QUOTE SCIENCE AND READING AND WHAT IS BEING DEFINED AND CURRENT RESEARCH AND LITERATURE OF THE SCIENCE OF READING AND EXAMINING OUR CURRENT PRACTICES AND THEIR ALIGNMENT WITH THE SCIENCE OF READING. AND TOGETHER AS A GROUP WE HAD SOME ROBUST DISCUSSIONS ABOUT OBSERVATIONS TEACHERS MAKE IN CLASS BUT ALSO AMONG OTHER TEACHERS AND WHAT OUR NEXT STEPS WOULD BE. YOU CAN SEE THE LIST OF DISTINGUISHED FOLKS I WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH AND THEY ARE HERE THIS EVENING TO. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND I APPRECIATE ALL OF THEM BEING ABLE TO COUNT.

IT'S HARD TO LEAVE SCHOOL AFTER SCHOOL AND COME TO A MEETING ABOUT READING. AS WE WERE DOING THE RESEARCH THERE WAS AN ARTICLE THAT WE READ AND IT REALLY DROVE TO HOW IMPORTANT IT IS. I HIGHLIGHTED SOME WORDS FOR YOU TO SEE BUT READING IS NOT NATURAL.

WE DON'T COME OUT OF THE WOMB READING AND JUST LIKE WE DON'T COME OUT SPEAKING WE HAVE TO BE TAUGHT BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ ABOUT IS AS CRITICAL TO COMPREHENSION SKILLS AS BEING ABLE TO DECODE WE WANT TO BUILD THE BACK ON KNOWLEDGE FOR OUR KIDS.

FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS FOR LEARNING TO READ HAVE TO BE SYSTEMATIC AND EXPLICIT AND IT NEEDS TO START WITH TEACHING KIDS THE SOUNDS OF THE LETTERS OF THE SOUND IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE READING.

OUR INSTRUCTION WITH READING NEEDS TO BE ENGAGING TO OUR TEACHERS DO A LOT OF GREAT WORK TO INCORPORATE MULTIPLE NOTES, SENSE IS TO HAVE THE STUDENTS REALLY BECOME PART OF THE READING. AND FINALLY IF WE USE SCIENCE-BASED READING INSTRUCTION IT REDUCES OUR NEED FOR A FOLLOW-UP INTERVENTION IN THE TIER TWO OR TIER THREE LEVEL PREFER FOCUSED ON TIER ONE UNIVERSAL INSTRUCTION THAT IS STRONG, EFFECTIVE AND INCORPORATES ALL THE HIGHLIGHTED WORDS. THAT ALLOWS OUR KIDDOS TO MOVE FORWARD IN THEIR LEARNING LIKE COMPETENT, CAPABLE AND READY TO GO. THIS IS A GRAPHIC THAT IS USED WIDELY TO EXPLAIN THE SCIENCE OF READING AND HOW WERE READING AND HOW WE LEARN TO READ AND WHAT WE DO AS READERS.

[02:10:01]

YOU REALLY START AND THINGS START BUILDING INTO THE MARK OBLIGATED. D CODING WORD RECOGNITION OF PHONICS AND AWARENESS IN THE NEW BILL TOGETHER THE LANGUAGE AND HOW WE SPEAK AND HOW WE UNDERSTAND BACKGROUND AND HOW WE CONNECT THOSE THINGS TOGETHER TO ULTIMATELY COMPREHEND WHAT WE ARE READING BECAUSE THAT IS THE GOAL NOT JUST KNOWING HOW TO READ BUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT WERE READING.

MORE COMPLICATED DECODING AS THE TOP THREE AWARENESS AND RECOGNITION IN THE TOP PART IS ABOUT THE WORDS IN THE READING IN THE DECODING. THE BOTTOM PART IS THE L AND THE LANGUAGE EQUATION PAID EACH ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS MORE ABOUT HOW WE ARE CONNECTING VOCABULARY KNOWLEDGE, BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE, SYNTAX, LITERACY KNOWLEDGE AND VERBAL REASONING WHERE KIDDOS CAN EXPLAIN WHAT THEY ARE READING AND UNDERSTANDING.

IT ULTIMATELY LEADS TO ALL OF THOSE THINGS TO HAVE A SKILLED LEADER AND WHAT WE OFTEN SAY IS WHEN IT CLICKS WHICH AMAZINGLY HELPFULLY ALWAYS HAPPENS AS THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF FIRST GRADE. THAT IS AN AWESOME QUICKTIME.

THAT IS THE GOAL. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE COMPONENTS OF READING, WE START FIRST WITH PHONEMIC AWARENESS, THAT IS UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS OF HUMOR IN A CLASSROOM FE MAKE AWARENESS IS THE BEGINNING OF THEM LISTENING AND HEARING THE SOUNDS, PHONICS IS THEN CONNECTING THE SOUNDS TO THE LETTERS, UNDERSTANDING VOCABULARY, FLUENCY AND I'LL EXPLAIN EACH OF THESE STEPS SEPARATELY AND THEN ULTIMATELY TO THE LETTER OF COMPREHEND. AS YOU KNOW MAYBE YOU HAVE HEARD THE WORD WONDERS BEFORE IT IS OUR ADOPTED CURRICULUM FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT.

WONDERS WAS PROGRAM THAT WE FIRST PILOTED IN '19-'20 SCHOOL YEAR AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE '19-'20 SCHOOL YEAR. AS TEACHERS WERE GOING TO COME BACK TO THE SPLENDID COHORTS THE REMOTE CORE HURTS, NEEDING TO LEARN CAMPUS AND WORK ON ZOOM AND ALMOST OBLIGATED PIECES, WE DECIDED TO PAUSE ON OUR ADOPTION AND NOT ALSO ADD A WHOLE NEW CURRICULUM TO THE TEACHERS PLATES AS THEY WERE LEARNING THE OTHER TOOLS. WE HELD ONTO THE ADOPTION PROCESS AND ULTIMATELY AT THE END OF THE 21 SCHOOL YEAR AND DOCTOR CAN TELL YOU ALL THE BETTER, THERE IS A PROGRAM CALLED NECK TO EDIT WE WE'RE GOING TO LOSE ACCESS TO TREASURES WHICH IS OUR PREVIOUS ADOPTION WE MOVE FORWARD WITH WONDERS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WONDERS FROM THEIR WEBSITE, JOIN UPON DECADES OF LITERACY HIGH-QUALITY LITERACY INSTRUCTION BACKED BY SCIENCE OF READING.

OUR PROGRAM IS UNDERPINNED BY THE FINDINGS OF PREEMINENT READING RESEARCH BECAUSE MODERN CLASSROOM SHOULD BE SERVED BY PROVEN INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES. SO WHEN YOU TALK TO A WONDERS TRAINER AND WE WERE ABLE IN JANUARY TO HAVE TRAINING WITH WONDERS FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT, THEY LEAN HEAVILY INTO THE SCIENCE OF READING AND YOU CAN SEE IN THE LAST PICTURE THAT IS A PAGE FROM THE TEACHER'S MANUAL AND IT REALLY GOES INTO ALL OF THE COMPONENTS I SHOWED YOU ON THE STAIRCASE SCIENCE OF READING. PHONICS, WORD STUDY, SPELLING, HIGH-FREQUENCY WORDS WHICH ARE WORDS THAT ARE COMMONLY FOUND IN READING AT THE BEGINNING WE START WITH ACT, THAT, BY, ME, THEY GET MUCH WORK OBLIGATED INTO COMMON WORDS.

FLUENCY WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT AN END TO QUOTABLE TEXT, THOSE ARE FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS THEY ALSO HAVE A BAND FOR THOSE FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS FOR READING.

LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT OR LANGUAGE CONVENTION, VOCABULARY ACQUISITION AND FINALLY THE MEANING MAKING A READING COMPREHENSION AND WERE TALKING READING COPPER ENGINE WERE

TEACHING SKILLS AND STRATEGIES. >> I WANT TO NOTE THE CURRICULUM THAT WE ADOPTED ON THE CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION LISTED APPROVE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND THEY REFLECT THE MOST RECENT WHICH IS THE 2 2014 ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AS WELL.

[02:15:03]

>> WILL BE ENGAGED IN THE PROCESS, WE FIRST CONSIDER THREE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS SIMILAR TO HOW HER HISTORY SOCIAL STUDIES ADOPTION AND WE NARROWED IT TO TWO AS A COMMITTEE OF TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS TOGETHER AND TEACHERS TRIED BOTH OF THE TWO THAT WE SELECTED TO PILOT AND ULTIMATELY SELECTED WONDERS.

THE ANEMIC AWARENESS, THE BEGINNING STEP AS IT ABILITY TO HEAR, IDENTIFY AND MANIPULATE INDIVIDUAL UNITS OF SOUND.

IT CAN SOUND OUT LIKE GETTING KIDS TO UNDERSTAND LIKE THE WORD LITTLE AND YOU SEE THEM POPPING OUT THERE SOUND SO THEY START PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO THE SOUNDS.

IT GOES ON FROM THERE TO LEARN HOW TO SUBSTITUTE SOUNDS, THEY TAKE THE WORD MAKE AND CHANGE THE WORD M TO A C NOW WHAT WORD IS IT. AND THERE WILL MIND THEY ARE MANIPULATING THE SOUNDS AND THAT FOR AWARENESS AND WHEN THEY REALLY LOOKING AT PICTURES OF THE SOUNDS AND ANIMALS THEY CAN ACTUALLY LOOK AT PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S MOUTHS MAKING THE SOUNDS. THEN YOU CAN SEE DOWN HERE I GRADE TWO EXAMPLE WE ARE INTO MORE OF THE WORDS AND THE TEACHER WILL PUT UP WORDS THAT THE STUDENTS READ THE WORDS AND IDENTIFY PATTERNS AND THE SOUNDS.

THE SECOND STEP ON THE STAIRCASE IS PHONICS.

THAT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LETTERS AND THE LETTER OF COMBINATIONS IN A WRITTEN LANGUAGE AND THE INDIVIDUAL SOUNDS IN THE SPOKEN LANGUAGE, YOU CAN SEE SOME EXAMPLES OF GRADE ONE, TWO AND THREE THE FIRST GRADERS ARE LOOKING AT SHORT VOWEL WORDS AND THEY WILL GET THE WORDS INDIVIDUALLY BUT ALSO LOOK AT THEM IN CONTEXT WHICH ARE TWO IMPORTANT THINGS PAID WHEN YOU LOOK AT A WORD IN ISOLATION YOU HAVE NO CONTEXT CLUES AND HINTS AROUND IT BUT AS ULTIMATELY A FLUENT READER YOU WANT TO READ THE WORDS IN CONTEXT IN THE SENTENCE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE GRADE TWO EXAMPLE, NOT ONLY LONG VOWELS BUT LONG VOWEL PAIRS YOU CAN SEE A PROGRESSION TO LEARNING AND DOWN HERE THE THIRD-GRADERS THERE DIGGING INTO COMPLICATED SKILLS IN THE PHONICS AND ARE CONTROLLED VOWELS.

UNDERLYING THE SPELLING AND DRAWING KIDS ATTENTION AND HOW

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE WORKS. >> VOCABULARY.

THE VOCABULARY IS THE LARGEST INDICATOR OF REALLY BEING ABLE TO BE A FLUENT READER AND A COMPREHENSIVE READER AND WE HAVE LOTS OF PICTURES TO SUPPORT AND EXAMPLES TO SUPPORT AND HELP OUR STUDENTS IN GRADE ONE AND YOU CAN SEE IN YOU ASKED THE STUDENTS TO ENGAGE THEIR BRAIN AND THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH THAT WORD AND YOU ARE JUST GIVING THEM THE MEAT AND HIGHLIGHTED THE VOCABULARY WITH THE PICTURE EXAMPLES RIGHT BEFORE AND REINFORCED DURING THE READING OF OTHER STORIES.

I'M SORRY I DID NOT READ THE DEFINITION.

IT REFERS TO WORDS TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER AND TO COMPREHENSION AND EMPHASIZE WHEN WE ASKED STUDENTS TO READ PASSAGE OR STORY THAT HAS THE VOCABULARY WORD AND IT AND IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THEIR MEANINGS BUT NOBODY SHOULD BE GIVING THE KIDS A LIST OF WORDS IN THE DICTIONARY.

THAT IS NOT HOW WE LEARN VOCABULARY.

ONCE ORGANIC PROCESS INTERACTING WITH THE WORD.

FLUENCY, I THINK FLUENCY. IN A REPORT CARD FOR PARENTS WE TRIED TO GIVE MORE OF A DEFINITION THAT THEY COULD UNDERSTAND. IF I COULD I WOULD DO ALL OF THIS ON THE REPORT CARD AS WELL. WEEKS POINTED TO PARENTS AT PARENT CONFERENCE TIME WHAT IT MEANS.

READING FLUENTLY IS THE ABILITY TO READ AS WELL AS WE SPEAK INTO MAKE SENSE OF THE TEXT TO STOP AND CODE EACH WORD.

READING ACCURACY, WHICH IS THE EXPRESSION.

WHEN YOU HEAR A LITTLE KID READING AND HEAR THE VOICE GO UP AT THE END WE KNOW THE READING WITH EXPRESSION BECOMING MORE FLUENT READER. WE ACTUALLY MEASURE FLUENCY AND CORRECT WORDS PER MINUTE AND THAT'S WHATEVER ASSESSMENTS THAT WE MEASURE GRADE.

AGAIN IF YOU ARE A FLUENT READER PRONOUNCED CORRECTLY AND READ SENTENCES IN CHUNKS AND PHRASES, YOU'RE PAYING ATTENTION TO COMMAS AND OTHER PUNCTUATION, YOU EMPHASIZE IMPORTANT WORDS IN A SENTENCE AND YOU PAUSE AT COMMAS AND PERIODS IN A NEW CHANGE OF VOICE AND UV DIALOGUE IN THE WAY THAT SOMEONE MIGHT SPEAK IT. YOU CAN SEE AN EXAMPLE FROM FIRST GRADE THAT THEY READ THE SENTENCES LOUD AND REPEAT THEM AND REALLY PRACTICE READING THE WORDS BUT REALLY PRACTICE READING WITH EXPRESSION. COMPREHENSION, THE ALTERNATE

[02:20:05]

BACK IN THE SAME TIER ONE IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE OUR WONDERS PROGRAM IN THE ENGLISH-LANGUAGE PROGRAM ALSO INCORPORATES ENGLISH-LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT.

IN ENGLISH-LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT STRATEGIES THAT WE USE ONE IS DESIGNATED ELD, THAT'S A DESIGNATED TIME PROVIDED DURING A PROTECTIVE TIME OF THE DAY, THIS IS ELD TIME AND THEY ARE LEARNING THE SPECIFIC SKILLS RELATED TO BECOMING MORE PROFICIENT IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE RESOURCES THERE FOR DESIGNATED ELD TIME AND THEN YOU HAVE INTEGRATED ELD. SO THE TEACHER AND THE TEACHER'S MANUAL WILL SEE THE LITTLE PURPLE BOX AND THAT'S MAKING SURE WE ARE USING SOME OF THE ELD STRATEGIES WHILE WE ARE TEACHING THE STORY THAT ALL STUDENTS ARE HEARING.

IT ALSO BREAKS IT UP INTO L PACK LEVELS WITHIN MEDIUM, ADVANCED, HIGH, THOSE ARE TO THE LD LEVELS.

WHEN WE START MOVING FROM HER TEARS AND LOOK AT SPECIALIZED ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENTS WITH IEP'S.

WONDERS ACTUALLY HAS A PROGRAM THAT IS MEANT FOR SPECIALIZED ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION, IT IS CALLED WONDERWORKS.

IT HELPS STUDENT ACCESS ASSIGNED CONTENT, SKILLS, STRATEGIES THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON IN CLASS. BUT IS OFFERING ON RAMPS AND ACCELERATION FOR THEM. AND THIS YEAR AND SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN USING THE PROGRAM WHICH IS A DIRECT EXPLICIT MULTISENSORY STRUCTURE, LOOK AT THE BIG WORDS, SEQUENTIAL, DIAGNOSTIC AND PRESCRIPTIVE WEIGHT TO TEACH LITERACY IN SMALL SETTINGS.

HE USES SYSTEMATIC PHONICS INSTRUCTION AS A BACKBONE FOR LEARNING TO READ. WE ALSO HAVE AN ADDITION TO WONDERWORKS WE UTILIZE THE UNIQUE LEARNING SYSTEM WHICH IS A CURRICULUM DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS WHOSE IEP DESIGNATES THAT THEY NEED MODIFIED CURRICULUM.

THE UNIQUE LEARNING SYSTEM IS ALSO ALIGNED WITH THE FIVE COMPONENTS OF READING THOSE STAIR STEPS.

>> REALLY IMPORTANT WILL BE SELECTED WONDERWORKS, I'M SORRY NOT WONDERWORKS, WONDERS, THERE WAS WONDERWORKS AS WELL AS A DESIGNATED ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT CURRICULUM AS WELL.

THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT THE CASE EVEN WITH THE STATE BOARD APPROVES CURRICULA THAT WAS VERY IMPORT FOR EDUCATORS WILL BE

MADE THAT DECISION. >> ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE ARE MAKING SURE WERE BEING EFFECTIVE IS CONSISTENTLY USING ASSESSMENTS TO LET US KNOW HOW THE KIDS ARE LEARNING, WHAT THEIR LEARNING. IN TK THROUGH TO, MANY YEARS AGO WE MEASURED 25 YEARS AGO OUR TEACHERS INCLUDING ME WHEN I WAS A TEACHER WERE TRAINED BY CAL LUTHERAN, CALIFORNIA READING AND LITERACY PROJECT THERE AND HOW TO ASSESS, AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NO TK, KINDERGARTEN THROUGH SECOND GRADE IN THE SCIENCE OF READING BASED SKILLS THAT WE KNOW BUILDS IN BETTER DECODERS AND ALSO COMPREHENSION ASPECTS. AFTER HAVING THOSE INITIAL MATERIALS LOOKING AT WONDERS HAS FURTHER ASSESSMENT FOR STUDENTS CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT COMMITTEES FOR THEIR EXPERIENCE TO COMMIT THEIR OWN ASSESSMENTS OF USING THE STRATEGIES STYLES AND MATERIALS. AND THEY MEASURE THOSE COMPONENTS OF READING. SO WE HAVE ASSESSMENTS FOR

[02:25:01]

WE ARE DIALING IN TK 22 TO GET THE FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS IDENTIFIED IN WHERE STUDENTS NEED EXTRA SUPPORT OR PETITION OR EVEN NOVEL NEW EXPERIENCES WITH SOMETHING TO HELP THEM SOLIDIFY THOSE SKILLS. IN GRADES THREE THROUGH FIVE THEY ARE IN THE READING TO LEARN PHASE AND WERE LOOKING AT THEIR SKILLS AND WE HAVE BENCHMARK EXAMS IN THE UNIT ASSESSMENT FROM WONDERS TO MEASURE THOSE SKILLS AND THEN WE HAVE S BACK THEY GIVE US THE BIG, THE EARTH VIEW, THE GOOGLE EARTH VIEW.

>> WE USE OUR ASSESSMENTS TO PINPOINT THE EXACT SPOT ON THE STAIRCASE. KINDERGARTEN THROUGH SECOND GRADE TEACHER COULD ACTUALLY TELL YOU THAT THESE ARE THE LETTERS THAT THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON AND THEY CAN SHARE THAT WITH PARENTS. HERE ARE THE LETTERS TO PRACTICE. THEY CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY WHICH SOUNDS A STUDENT IS WORKING TO MASTER BECAUSE WERE GIVEN THE PRESCRIPTIVE ASSESSMENTS THAT GUIDE US ALONG THAT WAY.

OUR PHONICS SKILLS TEST FOR FIRST AND SECOND GRADERS.

HE GOES IN THE ORDER AND IT STARTS WITH THE SHORT VOWELS IN CDC THAT CONSONANT VOWEL AND HE GETS IN THE POLYSYLLABIC WORDS THAT UTILIZE THE STRATEGIES OF THEIR LEARNING ALONG THE WAY AND WONDERS. THE TK THROUGH TO REPORT CARDS AND ASSESSMENT ALONG WITH SCIENCE AND READING AND REPORTING BACK TO PARENTS. THIS IS THE AREA THAT YOUR STUDENTS ARE WORKING ON AND THESE ARE ALL THEIR SKILLS AND THEIR SET TO GO IN THE THIRD THROUGH FIFTH GRADERS MAY STILL NEED SUPPORT WITH FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS.

WE ARE ABLE TO USE THOSE SAME ASSESSMENT TOOLS THAT WE USE IN KINDERGARTEN THROUGH SECOND GRADE TO IDENTIFY THE NEEDS FOR THE THIRD FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADERS.

BACK IN FEBRUARY THERE WAS A PRESENTATION ON ASSESSMENT DATA AND PROGRESS FOR OUR STUDENTS AND WE SHARE WITH YOU AT THAT TIME THE UNIT ONE DATA FROM OCTOBER IN THE UNIT TWO, THAT WAS FROM TRIMESTER ONE AND NOW WE ARE HERE WELL INTO TRIMESTER THREE AND I WANTED TO SHARE UNIT FOUR WHAT I'VE BEEN GIVEN IN MARCH AT THE END OF TRIMESTER TO AND I'LL GIVE YOU A SECOND TO CHECK OUT SO YOU SEE THE% OF STUDENTS THAT SCORED PROFICIENT OR HIGHER IN THE SUBGROUPS ON UNIT ONE, UNIT FOUR IN THE PERCENT DIFFERENCE GROWTH BETWEEN THAT TIME PERIOD.

THIS IS FOR THIRD-GRADERS. ON ASSESSMENTS SOME OF OUR STUDENTS SHOW THAT THEY NEED ACTION SUPPORT AND THEY DO NEED AN ADDITIONAL SKILL AND FOR THAT WE HAVE INTERVENTION.

WE'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY WITH HER WAS HER FUNDS, CREDENTIALED TEACHERS, SOME SCHOOLS EVEN HAVE TARGET TIME BUT DIFFERENT STRUCTURES FOR HAVING INTERVENTION TIME FOR STUDENTS.

WONDERS ACTUALLY HAS HER OWN INTERVENTION CURRICULUM.

AS WELL AS PURCHASE SOFTWARE THAT HELPS US WITH STUDENTS PRACTICING SKILLS THAT THEY N NEED, ALEXIA AND PARTICULAR IS DESIGNED JUST FOR TAKING STUDENTS THROUGH THE PROGRESSION OF LEARNING TO READ. IXL HELPS AND PRACTICE SOME OF THE SKILLS AND SOME OF THE TEACHERS CAN PRESCRIBE WHAT SKILLS THE STUDENT NEEDS TO WORK ON WITH IXL AND ASSIGN THAT TO STUDENTS. AND THEN WE ALSO LEARNED ALONG THE WAY AS I SHARED WITH YOU AT THE BEGINNING.

WE HAVE SOME NEXT STEPS THAT WE DISCUSSED AS A COMMITTEE.

THE FIRST BEING SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS.

WE ALL WENT BACK TO THE 25 YEARS AGO TRAINING IN I REALIZE THAT WE'VE BEEN GIVEN A LOT OF REALLY GOOD TOOLS AND TEACHERS THAT HAVE BEEN TEACHING SINCE THEN ARE STILL USING THESE BOOKS THAT WE WERE GIVEN ONE YELLOW BOOK CALLED SOUNDS AND LETTERS AND IT'S REALLY AWARENESS ROUTINES THAT YOU SAY SOMETHING STUDENTS ARE REPEATING AND PLAYING GAMES WITH LANGUAGE SO WE REALIZE SOMEONE JUST STARTED TEACHING THIS YEAR END THEIR FRESH OUT OF COLLEGE IN YOUR CREDENTIAL AND MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS A MORE SEASON TEACHERS, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE THEM THAT EXPERIENCE. WE ARE LOOKING INTO DIFFERENT PHONICS MATERIALS FOR THAT PURPOSE PHONICS INTERVENTION MATERIAL SPECIFICALLY. FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

BECAUSE SCIENCE OF READING AND THAT PHRASE IS BECOMING SO IMPORTANT AND PROLIFIC FEEL CONNECTED TO CONCEPT OF READING SOME OF THAT WILL COME FROM MCGRAW-HILL FROM THE WONDERS TRAINERS BECAUSE HER SKILLED IN CONNECTING TO SCIENCE OF REA

[02:30:10]

WE WANT TO START REALLY DESIGNING AND CONNECTING OUR INTERVENTION TEACHERS ARE VERY EXCITING TO WORK WITH EACH OTHER AND PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM TO DO THAT.

WE ARE GOING TO TRANSFORM SOME COMPONENTS OF HER SUMMER LEARNING CAMP. FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS WE'VE BEEN LEARNING THE CURRICULUM FROM SCHOLASTIC IN THE HOLISTIC READING PROGRAM WHERE STUDENTS HAVE EXPERIENCES WITH BOOKS AND THE PROGRAM COMES WITH THE BOOK INSTEAD OF A TEXT AND WE DO THINK THE TEACHING EXPLICIT PHONICS IN THE SUMMER PROGRAM IS GOING TO BE REALLY IMPORTANT. WE ARE GOING TO ADD THAT IN AS A COMPONENT. SOME TEACHERS DID IT ON THEIR PHONE BUT WE'RE GOING TO PRESCRIBE WHAT THEY WANT TO USE THIS YEAR. AND PHONICS AWARENESS INSTRUCTION INTO EXPANDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM, THAT PROGRAM IS FOR STUDENTS ON FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH AND YOU CAN SEE BACK OF THE DATA CHART THE SOCIOECONOMIC DISADVANTAGE STUDENTS ARE HAVING A GAP IN THEIR UNDERSTANDING.

WE THINK THAT'S ANOTHER GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO CAPTURE STUDENTS THAT MIGHT HAVE EXTRA PRACTICE WITH THOSE SKILLS.

THERE IS NO PERFECT SET OF INSTRUCTIONAL MOM MATERIALS OUT THERE. BUT WHAT I DO THINK THAT WE DO HAVE IN TERMS OF OUR SYSTEM LIKE NUMBER ONE, I WOULD SAY PROBABLY A REALLY STRONG BASE AND FOUNDATION THAT SUPPORTS A READING OF STUDENTS. BUT REALLY EDUCATORS, COMMITTED EDUCATORS WHO ARE WANTING TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS.

THIS IS HER SECOND YEAR BEEN IMPLEMENTING THIS FOR A YEAR END HALF PAID WE HAVE A COMMITTED SET OF EDUCATORS WHO ARE REFLECTING THINKING WHAT TRADITIONAL TRAINING DO WE NEED, HOW CAN WE STRENGTHEN AND THE STRONG BASE IN THE NEXT STEPS

ARE REALLY OUTLINING THAT. >> I STARTED WITH A QUOTE AND I GOTTA END WITH THE QUOTE. DELIVERING ON THE PROMISE OF EDUCATION AND THOSE WORDS SPEAK TO YOUR HEART.

THAT REALLY IS WHAT WE PROMISED HER KIDS IN OUR FAMILIES EVERY DAY WHEN THEY COME TO SCHOOL IS EDUCATION AND THAT STARTS WITH THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL SKILL WHICH IS THE ABILITY TO READ.

THAT IS DEFINITELY WHAT WE ARE DEDICATED TO AS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT PRESENTATION.

I DO THINK IT'S TIMELY, THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF REPORTING SOME OF IT NOT SO HELPFUL. IF YOUR OLDEST LIKE I AM, YOU'RE AWARE THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY. AND IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN BUT THERE IS A CRISIS IN READING AND THERE'S A RESOLUTION IN UNDERSTANDING HOW TO READ.

AND THAT IT'S A LOT OF ATTENTION BUT MEANWHILE THERE IS A THROUGH LINE OF OUR INCREDIBLY SKILLED EDUCATORS USING HIGH QUALITY CURRICULUM AND IMPROVING ON THEIR PRACTICE OF THE TIME.

THAT STORY DOES NOT GET SCREAMING HEADLINES BUT IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT ONE TO DIG INTO.

I APPRECIATE YOU GIVING US ALL THIS INFORMATION.

IT'S REALLY HELPFUL. >> HER TEACHERS DEFINITELY SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT AND HOW THEY NEED TO START WITH SOME OF THE FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS BUT THE LANGUAGE SKILLS AND THE COMBINATION THAT MAKE PROFICIENT READERS AND WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT WONDERS DOES ALL OF THOSE COMPONENTS.

USING WONDERS WITH FIDELITY GIVE STUDENTS A WHOLE READING

EXPERIENCE. >> DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? YES, SIR.

>> OF EUROS OLDEST DIRT I MUST BE OLD AS FOSSILS.

WHEN I TAUGHT SECOND GRADE THERE WAS A BIG CONTROVERSY DO WE TEACH BY PHONICS OR BY COMPREHENSION.

IT WAS ONE OF THE OTHER. I AM SO HAPPY WITH YOUR PRESENTATION, YOURS, THE STAFF AND THE COMMITTEE THAT WORKED

[02:35:02]

SUCH A THOROUGH THING. CAN WE GO BACK TO SLIDE 16.

I HAVE A CONCERN. I AM GOING TO CALL IT EVEN FROM UNIT ONE TO UNIT FOUR FOR THE HISPANIC LATINO WHICH I'M GOING TO SAY KIND OF REFLECTS THE ENGLISH LEARNER.

IT IS EVEN, THERE WAS NO GAIN. DO WE HAVE A STRATEGY AS TO HOW TO AFFECT THE ENGLISH LEARNER. YOU BROUGHT UP A SEGMENT IN THE WONDERS BOOK ON ENGLISH LEARNERS.

>> WHAT ARE THE STRATEGIES THAT WERE EMPLOYED WAS RETRAINING OUR TEACHERS AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT.

IN USING THE WONDERS CURRICULUM FOR THAT.

SOME TEACHERS KIND OF DRIFT WITH THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT. WE WANTED TO BRING IT BACK TO STAYING IN THE LANE OF DESIGNATED ELD AND INTEGRATED ELD. IT IS EASY TO SAY YOU ARE TEACHING ELD BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IT LIKE THE BOTTOM PURPLE BOX AND ALL OF YOUR LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES.

BUT YOU REALLY HAVE TO DEDICATE THE TIME TO DOING DESIGNATED ELD AND IT TOO NEEDS TO BE SYSTEMATIC.

YOU NEED TO WORK ON THE GOALS AND WORKING FROM THEIR LEVEL.

SO SCHOOLS WITH A HIGH ENGLISH LEARNER POPULATION YOU WILL SEE THEM HAVING ELD TIME WERE THEY SEPARATE THE STUDENTS BY L PACK LEVEL SO THEY CAN BE MORE DEDICATED TO TEACHING EXACTLY WHAT THE STUDENTS NEED. SOMETIMES IT CAN BE MORE COMPLICATED IN A CLASS. HAS TWO OR THREE ENGLISH LEARNERS BUT WE WANT TO MAKE HER TEACHERS ARE TEACHING DESIGNATED

ELD AND INTEGRATED ELD. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> YES. >> KINDA FOLLOW WITH THE IDEA IN THE DATA THAT YOU HAD SHOWED ON THE SIDE AND ADDRESSING THE FLUCTUATION IN THE VARIETY% GROWTH DATA POINTS.

I ASSUME THAT THERE ARE BUT I'M CURIOUS TO WHAT THERE MIGHT BE.

ANY SORT OF REASONS WHAT YOU MAY HAVE DISCOVERED OR TRYING TO WORK TOWARD AND IDENTIFY FOR WIDE VARIETY IS SO WIDE AND THAT

PERCENTAGE OF GROWTH. >> THE VARIETY LIKE IN THE

GROWTH COLUMN? >> BETWEEN NEGATIVE 2% AND 23% THAT'S A PRETTY WIDE DIFFERENCE. I'M JUST CURIOUS IF THERE ANY REASONS OF WHAT YOU MIGHT BE TRYING TO EXPLORE SPIN A DEVIL HE ALWAYS EXPLORING THE DIFFERENCE IN DISAGGREGATING THE DATA BY SCHOOL SITE WE CAN DISAGGREGATE THE DATA DOWN TO A CLASSROOM AND LOOK AT HOW THOSE SCORES COMPARE.

I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THE WONDERS UNIT TEST IS AN OVERALL ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS TEST. WHEN A STUDENT IS TAKING THE UNIT TEST AND WONDERS ARE TAKING A TEST THAT HAS A NOVEL PASSAGE WITH NOVEL QUESTIONS AND FROM THE NOVEL PASSAGE AND QUESTIONS THEY ALSO INCORPORATE WRITTEN LANGUAGE, GRAMMAR, VOCABULARY.

ALL DIFFERENT LANGUAGE ARCH SKILLS NOT JUST READING SKILLS.

SO SOME OF THAT FLUCTUATION COMES FROM INCORPORATING ALL OF

THOSE SKILLS TOGETHER. >> AT THE PASSAGE FOR EXAMPLE IS THAT A READING LEVEL THAT MIGHT BE MORE DIFFICULT FOR A STUDENT AND THAT'S NOT THEIR INSTRUCTIONAL LEVEL THAT'S REACHED FOR THEM. THEN ANSWERING THE SUBSEQUENT QUESTION RELATED TO THE PASSAGE BECOMES MORE COMPLICATED.

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO KNOW HOW TO READ AND THAT WAY THEY ARE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE PASSAGE IN UNDERSTANDING ALL OF THE OTHER FOLLOW-UP PIECES TO IT.

SOME OTHER REASONS THAT WE SEE THE GAP AND I THINK WE SHARE THIS BACK IN FEBRUARY, THIS IS A THIRD GRADER WHO HAS PROBABLY NEVER TAKEN A MAJOR TEST ONLINE BEFORE.

WE DO SEE THE LOWER SCORES AT THE BEGINNING IT'S LIKE AN IMPLEMENTATION GAP AND BY THE TIME THIS SHOULD BE THE THIRD TIME TO GET A UNIT TEST IN THEIR MORE PROFICIENT IN MANAGING THE INTERFACE TAKING OUT THE INSTRUMENT A LITTLE BIT MORE.

AS WE GET TO THE END OF THE YEAR WE WOULD'VE HOPED THAT THE UNIT FOR SCORES WITH HOW THEY WOULD PERFORM ON THE ASPECT TEST AND LEARN HOW TO READ A PASSAGE ONLINE AND TICKET ASSESSMENT OF THAT. SOME TEACHERS INITIALLY.

THE TEST OUT FOR THE STUDENTS. AND HAVE THEM TAKE A HARD COPY AS THEIR TEACHING THEM HOW TO TAKE A NOVEL TEST.

IT USED TO BE MORE OF A COMMON PRACTICE TO GIVE AN ASSESSMENT ON A STORY THAT YOU FULLY DISSECTED A WEEK LONG AND YOU BEEN READING OUT OF THE BOOK AND GIVE A TEST ON THAT.

[02:40:04]

IT COULD BE A TEST OF ENGAGEMENT OR ATTENTION.

THEY REALLY NEED TO BE GIVEN A NOVEL PASSAGE FOR US TO REALLY TRULY SEE WHICH SKILLS THEY NEED MORE PRACTICE WITH.

>> THANK YOU. >> TO QUICK COMMENTS.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO TIE TOGETHER AS WE LOOK AT THE UNIFORM DATA AT ALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THERE IS A CYCLE OF LOOKING AT THE DATA IN IDENTIFYING STUDENTS WHO NEED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT PROVIDING THE ADDITIONAL'S SUPPORT TO STUDENTS A REGARDLESS OF THEIR GROUP. IN ADDITION I ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT AS WELL. AS WE SAID THIS IS OUR YEAR 1.5 IMPLEMENTING THIS CURRICULUM AND I DO KNOW OUR EDUCATORS ARE GRADE LEVEL TEAMS THAT DO MEET TOGETHER TO REALLY LOOK AT, ARE THE UNIT ASSESSMENTS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE REALLY MEASURING THE SPECIFIC STANDARDS THAT WERE SEEKING TO ASSESS AND REALLY UNDERSTAND. AS THOSE EDUCATORS HAVE A DISCUSSION THEY ARE DEFINITELY TIMES WHEN WERE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS FOR NEXT YEAR BASED OFF WHAT WHAT WE LEARN.

I CAN SAY THAT WE HAVE THE MEETING HERE TOWARDS END-OF-THE-YEAR AND GRADE LEVEL TEAMS ARE WORKING AND DIGESTING AND TALKING ABOUT RESULTS IN THE ASSESSMENTS AND HOW CAN WE DO A BETTER JOB FOR STUDENTS FOR NEXT YEAR.

>> FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR THAT PRE-THAT WAS INCREDIBLY INFORMATIVE. PERSONALLY I AM IN ALL OF TEACHERS WHO ARE ABLE TO CREATE READERS.

I'VE SEEN MANY YEARS AGO FIRSTHAND IT DOES NOT COME EASY TO SOME STUDENTS. AS YOU POINTED OUT IN YOUR VERY FIRST SLIDE VERY CRITICAL AND IMPORTANT SKILL.

A QUICK CLARIFYING QUESTION, THE COMMITTEE THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER WAS NOT TOGETHER FOR PURPOSES OF THIS PRESENTATION OR IS THIS A

STANDING COMMITTEE? >> WE HAVE STANDING GRADE LEVEL CURRICULUM AND THE COMMITTEES. THEY WERE INVITED TO THIS AND THIS WAS A GROUP THAT WAS ABLE TO ATTEND MEETINGS TOGETHER AND

FOCUS ON THIS. >> THANK YOU. THE OTHER THING, A SHOT OUT TO CONEJO ELEMENTARY THEY ALSO HAVE A PROGRAM WORKING WITH FAMILIES AND STUDENTS TO READ TOGETHER.

I'VE BEEN INVITED TO PARTICIPATE.

CONEJO I DON'T THAT'S EXISTING ANOTHER SCHOOLS BUT THAT SEEMS

TO BE A GOOD STRATEGY. >> THE LATINO LITERACY PROJECT IS DEFINITELY ABOUT CONNECTING FAMILIES WITH READING ALSO AND ALSO WHEN KIDS SEE READING HAPPENING EVERYWHERE THEY ARE AND ADDS MORE VALUE AND IMPORTANCE TO READING AND OUR SCHOOLS ARE LOOKING AT ANOTHER PROJECT ONE SCHOOL ONE BOOK AND EVERYONE IN THE SCHOOL INCLUDING THE TEACHERS AND THE STAFF WHEN THEY ENGAGE WITH ONE BOOK WITH THE FAMILIES AND HAVE A FOLLOW-UP ACTIVITY. WE DEFINITELY SEE THE IMPORTANT OF ENGAGING FAMILIES WITH READING.

>> THANK YOU. >> HELLO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS PRESENTATION AS YOU KNOW I'VE HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS LEADING UP. IT'S BEEN REALLY HELPFUL TO UNDERSTAND AN ADOPTION TIMELINE AND HOW WONDERS IS STILL FAIRLY NEW AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I THINK YOUR PRESENTATION WAS REALLY GREAT IT WAS THOROUGH IN TEACHING THE COMPONENTS OF READING. I KNOW NOT JUST US BUT SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY ARE HEARING ABOUT THE DEBATES AND HOW TO TEACH READING AND WHAT WORKS AND ALL THOSE THINGS. AND REALLY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT IT HELPS TO GET THIS PROGRAM HOPING MORE PEOPLE WILL COME AND LOOK AT YOUR PRESENTATION AND I THINK IT'S REALLY HOPEFUL TO UNDERSTAND THAT.

I ALSO REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU PUT TOGETHER THE GROUP OF EXPERTS TO DO ALL THE STEEP WORK IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER FOR OUR

BENEFIT. >> OBVIOUSLY I KNOW WERE ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT SUBGROUPS IN THEIR ACHIEVEMENT AND HELPFUL TO GET THAT DATED TODAY. I WANT TO ASK ABOUT WONDERS, I KNOW YOU MENTIONED HAVING CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THE WONDERS TRAINERS AND I KNOW YOU TALKED ABOUT WEAVING IN MORE THE PHONICS INSTRUCTION IN MAY BBB UNDER BEEFING IT UP FROM WHAT WE HAD RECENTLY.

I'M GUESSING THAT WONDERS TRAINERS ARE ALSO KIND OF DOING THAT WITHIN THE WONDERS CURRICULUM.

>> YES, THERE IS ACTUALLY ADDITIONAL MATERIAL THAT ALL SCHOOLS HAVE WHEN YOU FIRST ADOPT SOMETHING YOU REALLY HAD TO GET STARTED AND YOU START DIVING INTO THE OTHER COMPONENTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE AND THAT'S WHAT THE TEACHERS ARE READY FOR

[02:45:03]

ALL ARE AVAILABLE AND SOME HAVE DUG INTO THOSE BUT WE WANT TO REVEAL THAT AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY SEES THAT PROVIDING

THE TRAINING. >> NEXT YEAR IS YEAR THREE OF US USING LENDERS. AND YOU BE A LITTLE DEEPER AS WE

GO. >> EATING TEACHERS TO GO TO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT IS REALLY MEANINGFUL IS ON A SCHOOL DAY AND LIKE MRS. VALENTINE BUT TO RELEASE TEACHERS IS REALLY COMPLICATED. FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO THE LD TRAINING THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE COVERING CLASSROOMS TO MAKE IT SO THE TEACHERS CAN BE PRESENT FOR THAT TRAINING.

THAT HAS BEEN A HINDRANCE INTO THE PAST WE WOULD SAY RELEASE OF THE SECOND GRADE TEACHERS AND HERE WE ARE TOGETHER.

NOW IT'S MUCH MORE CRAFTED AND MUCH MORE CAREFUL TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. I WOULD SAY OUR ABILITY TO GIVE A LOT OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT RELATED HAS BEEN HINDERED BY THEIR ABILITY TO RELEASE THE TEACHERS IN ORDER TO

DO THAT. >> THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO HEAR. THANK YOU FOR ADDING THAT IN PRE-I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THE LAW ADDING THAT IN.

RIGHT NOW THE NOT NECESSARILY DOING ANY INTERVENTION WITH THE WONDERS CURRICULUM BUT THAT IS MAY BE FOR NEXT YEAR?

>> RIGHT NOW WE DO A LOT OF ENRICHMENT AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING, STEAM EDUCATION AND THERE ENGAGING WITH THINGS TO ENHANCE WHAT THE SCHOOL DAY IS. THAT IS THE INTENTION OF THE LAB EXPANDED LEARNING. WE SEE IT IS A PRIME TIME FOR US TO CAPTURE SUBGROUPS OF STUDENTS SO THERE IS A HOMEWORK TIME IN FIRST GRADE HOMEWORK IS NOT EXTENSIVE.

CAN WE USE THAT HOMEWORK TIME WHERE WE HAVE CREDENTIALED TEACHERS FROM THAT SCHOOL A LITTLE ANEMIC AWARENESS ROUTINE SO THEY GET ADDITIONAL PRACTICE AND THOSE ARE THINGS THAT ARE IN WONDERS BUT DO NOT HAVE TO BE CONNECTED TO WONDERS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY RESOURCES FOR PHONICS.

>> EXCELLENT I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION ABOUT WONDERWORKS.

HOW IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE ARE STILL ROLLING OUT AND FIGURING OUT HOW WE IMPLEMENT, WHERE ARE WE ON THAT.

>> ALL OF OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS ARE TRAINED IN USING WONDERWORKS WITH THE ADOPTION THAT WAS THEIR FOCUS TRAINING AREAS. WHEN THEY LEARNED ABOUT WONDERS THEY ALSO LEARNED ABOUT WONDERWORKS.

IT IS A PAIR OF CURRICULUM THAT FOCUSES ON THE ESSENTIAL SKILLS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR CONTINUING TO PROGRESS OUR TEACHER AND LEARNING CENTERS HAVE THEM AVAILABLE TO THEM.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. >> TICKET SO MUCH WE REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THIS INFORMATION AND ALL THE WORK THAT WENT INTO IT. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> WE ARE AT FIVE SEE

[C. Instructional Services - Presentation: High School Ethnic Studies Update]

>> I FEEL THE TEAM ROOTING FOR US FOR OUR THIRD PRESENTATION IN A ROW. SO THAT ALWAYS FEELS GREAT.

ALRIGHT WE ARE REALLY HAPPY AS REQUESTED BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND UPDATE ON THE ETHNIC STUDIES COURSE.

I'M PLEASED TO BE JOINED BY A TEAM IN A POLITICALLY DRAWN IN THE PRESENTATION FOR WORDS OF INTRODUCTION.

I'M REALLY PLEASED TO WELCOME HAROLD HUTTON TEACHER THOUSAND OAKS HIGH SCHOOL, MS. JANET CHAPPELL AT NEWBURY PARK HIGH SCHOOL. MR. BRIAN MERCER A DIRECTOR OF HIGH SCHOOLS AND I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE MR. MICHAEL LYNCH AT WESTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL WHO IS ONE OF HER ETHICS PILOT TEACHERS ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO THE PRESENTATION BUT WHO TONIGHT IS ATTENDING ON THE STUDENTS INTERVENTION.

I WILL ASK THEM TO COME UP AS WE GET TOWARDS MORE EXCITING PARTS OF THE PRESENTATION AFTER I FINISH.

AS WE GET STARTED AND GET SHARED WITH THEM THE TEAM THAT WILL BE COMING UP IN THE WORK THAT WE ARE SHARING IS REALLY EXCLUSIVELY THEIR WORK AND THEIR COMMITMENT WORKING TOGETHER FOR

[02:50:03]

ON THE PURPOSE OF TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION TO PROVIDE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF CALIFORNIA LAW AND THE ETHNIC STUDIES COURSE AS DESCRIBED IN THE ETHNIC STUDY MODEL CURRICULUM AND REALLY IMPORTANT LAYER TEAM WILL COME IN SHARING IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS.

>> A BRIEF REVIEW ON CALIFORNIA LAW PREASSEMBLED BILL 2016 WAS APPROVED AND THAT DIRECTED THE STATES INSTRUCTIONAL QUALITY COMMISSION TO DEVELOP A MODEL CURRICULUM.

THAT MODEL CURRICULUM WAS IN DEVELOPED AND IT WAS ADOPTED ON MARCH 18, 2021. THE PURPOSE OF THE CURRICULUM THE MODEL CURRICULUM IS TO EXIST CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOLS INTO DEVELOPING THIS ETHNIC STUDIES COURSE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT IN NOVEMBER 2021 THE STATE LEGISLATURE PASSED SENATE BILL 201 WHICH MADE ETHNIC STUDIES AT CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION REQUIREMENT BEGINNING THE YEAR OF 2029 - 30.

ALSO SOME OF THE BACKGROUND M MAY 3,202,203RD THEY PASS IN ETHNIC STUDIES IS A PUBLIC COURSE IN TONIGHT IS IN PART UPDATE FOR THAT. I ALSO WANTED TO SHARE, DURING THAT TIME AND SINCE THAT TIME IN MAY WE OF COURSE NOT ONLY HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TO IMPLEMENT OUR PILOT THAT BILLY HAD PROVIDED HER COMMUNITY WITH A FULLY DEDICATED WEBPAGE THAT PROVIDES A FULL SET OF INFORMATION, TRANSPARENT SET OF INFORMATION ABOUT HER ETHNIC STUDIES COURSE.

THAT LINK IS ON OUR DISTRICT'S MAIN PAGE.

THAT INCLUDES EVERYTHING FROM THE COURSE OF STUDY TO THE LEGISLATION THAT I'M SPEAKING ABOUT HERE TO A SPECIFIC TIMELINE OF ACTION SINCE UNDER THAT STAFF IS TAKEN TO GET TO THIS PARTICULAR POINT AS WELL AS SUBMIT A QUESTION FOR ANYONE IN THE COMMUNITY. I WILL NOTE THAT WE RECEIVED SENSE MAY OF 2002 WE RECEIVED TWO QUESTIONS.

TWO FROM STAFF FROM OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS ASKING US HOW DID YOU DO IT, DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE IN THE SECOND ONE WAS WHAT WE THINK A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WAS JUST ASKING WHEN WILL THIS COURSE HAPPEN. THAT'S WHEN WE RECEIVED IN TERMS OF QUESTION SUBMITTED TO US. AS A BRIEF REVIEW, WHAT IS ETHNIC STUDIES FOR THE STATES HISTORY SOCIAL SCIENCE FRAMEWORK FOR CALIFORNIA PUBLIC SCHOOLS THIS GUY ANDREW DESCRIBES ETHNIC STUDIES OF IT IS UNDER FIELD OF STUDIES THAT ENCOMPASSES MANY SUBJECT AREAS HISTORY, LITERATURE, ECONOMICS, SOCIOLOGY, ANTHROPOLOGY, POLITICAL SCIENCE AND MOVING FURTHER DOWN AND WE KNOW IT SEEKS TO EMPOWER ALL STUDENTS TO ENGAGE SOCIALLY AND POLITICALLY AND CRITICALLY ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND THEM AND TOWARDS THE BOTTOM ESTATES THROUGH THESE STUDIES STUDENTS SHOULD DEVELOP RESPECT FOR CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND SEE THE ADVANTAGES OF INCLUSION.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE, JUST AS WE SHARED WITH OUR COMMUNITY IN MAY OF 2022 ALL OF THE LESSONS OF OUR SCHOOLS, ETHNIC STUDIES IN COURSE OF STUDY DIRECTLY REFLECT THE RESOURCES AND LESSONS PROVIDED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ANTI-STUDIES MODEL CURRICULUM TO CURRICULUM. THAT MODEL CURRICULUM VERY BRIEFLY SEEKS TO GUIDANCE TO CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DISTRICTS AS WE WORK TO MEET THE STATES REQUIREMENTS FOR AN ETHIC STUDY GRADUATION REQUIREMENT. THIS MODEL CURRICULUM PROVIDES ACCURATE INFORMATION BASED ON CURRENT AND CONFIRM RESEARCH PROMOTES VALUES OF CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY AND ENCOURAGES CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING OF HOW DIFFERENT GROUPS HAVE STRUGGLED AND WORK TOGETHER.

THESE BULLETS ARE SPECIFICALLY OUT OF THE MODEL CURRICULUM FOR THIS PURPOSE. NOW, I'M REALLY PLEASED TO HAVE MR. HUTTON, MS. CHAPPELL AND MRE IMPLEMENTATION UPDATES.

>> HOW ARE YOU DOING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

IT'S GREAT TO SEE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.

THERE IS A LOT TO DISCUSS PER THE FIRST THING IS THAT I WANT TO GET YOU LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO UNDERSTAND IS ABOVE AND BEYOND. I SAY THAT BECAUSE THAT IS KIND

[02:55:03]

THE CVUSD FOR HAS BEEN ABOVE AND BEYOND JUST THE ELEMENT OF THE DISTRICT TAKING THE STEPS AND HAS US ABOVE AND BEYOND.

I CAN EXPLAIN WHEN WE GO TO THESE TRAININGS SO MANY DISTRICTS ARE PULLING US ASIDE SAYING WHAT IF YOU DONE OR WHAT CAN WE MODEL AFTER YOU OR CAN YOU SHARE DATA, CAN WE BRING YOU OVER, CAN WE MODEL, IT IS REMARKABLE.

IF YOU CAN LOOK TO YOUR LEFT AND RIGHT DOES A GOOD JOB TO EACH OTHER FOR TAKING THE STEPS INTO ACTUALLY DO THIS BECAUSE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, 2025 IS COMING IN 2029 IS A MANDATE AND WE'RE THREE YEARS ABOVE BECAUSE YOU ALLOWED US TO COME TOGETHER TO PUT THIS IN PLACE TO NOW BE THE LEADERS IN VENTURA COUNTY.

I JUST HAVE TO COMMEND YOU FOR THAT PART.

AS PART OF THE TEACHER SAYING I APPRECIATE YOU ALLOWING US TO DO THAT. WHEN IT COMES TO COURSE DESCRIPTION. THE COURSE DESCRIPTION HAS FLUCTUATED PREVIOUS CHANGED IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

FOR EXAMPLE THERE IS THE ONE THAT WAS CREATED FROM 2014 BUT IT KINDA FLUCTUATED TO MORE LIKE 2022 WHERE EXACTLY WHAT MR. LU HAS EXPLAINED BUT THEY HAVE PUT A STIPULATION AS WORDS IS WHY TEACHING ETHNIC STUDIES IN A K-12 ENVIRONMENT IS THE NEW CDE ALLOCATION ON WHY I TEACH ETHNIC STUDIES.

IS SOMETHING THAT WE DISCUSSED THREE YEARS AGO AND IT SAYS IT HELPS STUDENTS THEMSELVES AS ACTIVE AGENTS IN THE INTER-ETHNIC BRIDGE BUILDING PROCESS WE CALL AMERICAN LIFE.

IF YOU LOOK AT HER ORIGINAL PREMISE IT IS TO DISCUSS HOW WE COME TOGETHER TO BE AMERICANS CONNECTED IN THE COMMUNITY.

IT KIND OF SHOWS THE PREMONITION THAT WE HAVE LET YOU LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ALLOWS US TO DO THAT. THAT'S REALLY BEEN IMPORTANT.

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT.

WITH THAT BEING SAID BECAUSE WE GOT TO SOMEBODY DIFFERENT CONFERENCES AND HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS STARTING FROM 2021 W WE HAVE GAINED A LOT OF EDUCATION AND NETWORKS AND DISCUSSIONS AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT ACTUALLY TAKES TO PUT THIS ALL TOGETHER AND FORGIVE ME, GABBY CAN TELL YOU, BLESS HER HEART. LOOK UP SOCIAL LOCATION ON YOUR PHONE OR YOUR COMPUTER READ SOCIAL LOCATION.

ASOCIAL LOCATION, SOCIAL LOCATION, LOOK THAT UP.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, SOCIAL LOCATION.

SOCIAL LOCATION IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING THE WHOLE TIME IN ETHNIC STUDIES WHETHER NEWBERRY PARK, WESTLAKE, THOUSAND OAKS IS TO UNDERSTAND THE CONNECTIVITY NOT JUST HERE BUT GLOBALLY AND HOW WE CHANGE THE WORLD AND WE TALK ABOUT THE CHANGE THAT STARTS TODAY AND WE SAW A MOVIE TODAY IN THE COMMENT IF YOU COULD BE THE LIGHT IN THE DARK ROOM YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU COULD CHANGE. THAT WAS PRETTY PROFOUND TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND. SOME OF THOSE MODELS AND CURRICULUM RESONATE WITH US THE CONFERENCE WAS IMPACTFUL.

HE GAVE US THE IDEAS OF WHAT TO EXPLAIN WHAT NOT TO EXPLAIN.

IT IS AN UPWARD DIVISION COURSE IT IS GOING TO COLLEGE TO LEARN ETHNIC STUDIES. THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO EXPLAIN TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THAT IS IMPORTANT AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO WAIT TO GO TO COLLEGE TO DISCUSS. IT HELPED US DRAW A LINE AND COLLECTIVELY AS ALL THE TEACHERS AND WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN ROOMS AND MEETINGS TO SAY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE CORRECT LANGUAGE, WE WANT TO BE THE RIGHT TOPICS AND WE WANTED DISCUSS THE RIGHT THINGS THAT REFLECT THE COMMUNITIES OF THE STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR CLASSROOM.

THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO US AS WELL.

GOING TO THE VARIOUS VENTURA COUNTY SERVICE TRAININGS FROM APRIL ANTI-CAL STATE CHANNEL ISLANDS.

[03:00:03]

BLOWOUTS WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT BUT WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE LAWYER WHO REPRESENTED MANY OF THE STUDENTS AT SLEEPY LAGOON WHO ALSO REPRESENTED PEOPLE WHO WENT THROUGH HOLLYWOOD WHO WERE ALLOCATED TO BE COMMUNIST.

THE SAME PERSON THAT HAD THE SAME RECOGNITION TO FIND THERE WAS AN INJUSTICE. WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE TO LEARN SOME THINGS ABOUT THAT FOR THE CONSULTATION WITH ONE SHOT IS REMARKABLE WE HAVE THE PRESENTATION IN THOUSAND OAKS AND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. IT'S A GREAT COLLABORATION THAT WE ARE ABLE TO DO. FOR ME IT'S BEEN GREAT TO BE PART OF A TEAM THAT HAS BEEN SUPPORTIVE TO HELP US MOVE FORWARD TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S REALLY ALL ABOUT.

WE WILL BE HERE AND GONE BUT WHAT WE LEAVE BEHIND THAT IS IMPACT THAT THE LATEST WE WILL MAKE SURE WERE DOING THE RIGHT THING BY STARTING IN THE RIGHT ASPECT.

PLEASE IF YOU DON'T MIND. THANK YOU.

PODCASTING THOUSAND OAKS. YOU GUYS WENT TO SOCIAL LOC LOCATION, DOES ANYBODY WANT TO REACH HER HAND.

>> MISSILE BUSTER THANK YOU. >> I GOOGLED IT.

SPOKEN INDIVIDUAL SOCIAL LOCATION IS A COMBINATION OF CATEGORIES, FACTORS OR ATTRIBUTES.

SUCH AS GENDER, RACE, AGE, ABILITY, IMMIGRATION STATUS, LANGUAGE, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, EMPLOYMENT AND RELIGION.

>> IF YOU PUT IDENTITY IS THE SAME THING AND THAT'S WHAT WE DISCUSSED THE TRUE IDENTITY OF EACH AND EVERY PERSON AND HOW THAT IDENTITY CAN GROW AND HOW YOUR IDENTITY IS CONNECTED TO ANOTHER PERSON AND THAT WERE ALL ONE HUMAN RACE AND WERE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER TO MOVE FORWARD AND WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO PODCASTING WILL BE DISCUSSED ATTRIBUTES OF WHAT HAPPENS IN EVERY CITY AND AS I EXPLAINED TO THE STUDENTS IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT COLOR OR RACE I TALK ABOUT ECONOMICS THE STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVALS IN FOOD AND HOUSING IN RACE AND COLOR AND ALL THE THINGS WITH THE DIVISIVE TOOL TO MAKE SURE I COULD CREATE AN ADVANTAGE ABOVE YOU. IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT COLOR PRE-PRIMARILY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, SO MUCH ECONOMICS AS IT IS FOR SOCIAL STATUS AS WELL. WE TALK ABOUT THAT OFTEN.

IT HELPS TO SEPARATE THE THING OF THE SYSTEM OF POWER BUT THE SYSTEM OF POWER HAVE AND HAVE NOT.

THE SYSTEM OF POWER AS WE OBSERVE ON REMEMBRANCE DAY ON MONDAY WHICH WAS SPECIAL. IT WAS NOT A THING ABOUT COLOR IT WAS ABOUT WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE.

THOSE ARE THINGS THAT HELP US MOVE FORWARD.

THE GALLERY WALL IS NOT LINKED BUT WE AS SIMULATED A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT IMAGES. I KNOW MANY OF US DON'T USE MICROSOFT. THAT'S THE WAY YOU CAN SEE DIFFERENT IMAGES AS WE TALK ABOUT HOW IT OCCURRED THROUGHOUT U.S. HISTORY AND WHY HAPPEN AND WHO WAS SMALLER IN THE PICTURE AND WHO IS LARGER IN THE PICTURE IN THE NARRATIVE THAT IS EXPLAIN. THE INFORMATION SESSION PRESENTED TO THE COUNSELOR IN THE HISTORY CLASSES ON CAMPUS COULD WE TALK A LOT ABOUT THAT BUT WE USE THE BOOK A DIFFERENT MERE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO RONALD IS IS AN INCREDIBLE PERSON HE IS A JAPANESE HAWAIIAN SURFER WHO BECAME THE DOCTOR AND THE ORIGINATOR OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDY, GO FIGURE. BUT THAT'S WHO HE IS.

FROM THAT BOOK WERE ABLE TO DISSEMINATE SOME THINGS THAT MAKES US AS HE TALKS ABOUT BECOMING THE AMERICAN OF WHAT IT REALLY IS IS THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY.

LYNWOOD GONE ON FIELD TRIPS WE WENT ON TO PROVE FORGIVE ME THOUSAND OAKS WE WENT TO THE MUSEUM OF TOLERANCE.

WE ALSO WENT TO THE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM OF LOS ANGELES.

[03:05:04]

ON THE TABLE YOU MAY RECOGNIZE. >> AS WE DO A PODCASTING AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS. THIS CONVERSATION WAS ABOUT JAPANESE MEXICAN LABOR ASSOCIATION LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THAT IS VENTURA COUNTY THAT'S WHAT MADE US FAMOUS AND MADE THIS COUNTY ATTRACTS MANY PEOPLE.

HAVING PODCAST I WAS ABLE TO GET THE GRANT FROM THE CLASSROOMS WHICH IS A BRILLIANT THING. MY MICROPHONES IN A SYSTEM TO DO STUDENT VOICE HAS ASKED US TO DO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FOR ALLOWING ME TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AND LEAST UP FROM OUR CLASS LAST SEMESTER WHO EXPLAINED ESPECIALLY WITH THE FIELD TRIP TO THE MUSEUM OF TOLERANCE IT'S AWARE OF THE WORLD HOW TO OVERCOME ADVERSITY AND THAT'S WERE TRYING TO BUILD HERE.

SORRY I TOOK UP TOO MUCH TIME. I APPRECIATE IT.

>> HELLO ON THE ETHNIC STUDIES TEACHER AT NEWBURY PARK HIGH SCHOOL. WE MODELED THIS OFF OF THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IN FIRST UNIT THAT WE ALSO DO IS IDENTITY AND HE GIVES A LOT OF STUDENTS BUY-IN AND THEY GET TO EXPLORE MORE ABOUT THEIR CELLS AND TEACHERS BEGIN TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR STUDENTS AND WHAT UNIQUE LOOK COURSE IS GOING TO CHANGE EVERY SEMESTER BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO TAILOR IT TO FIT OUR STUDENTS IDENTITIES AND WE CAN PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH ETHNICITIES AND GROUPS WE WANT TO FOCUS ON WITH THE SEMESTER COURSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO COVER EVERY IDENTITY.

GETTING THE CHILDREN MORE ABOUT OUR STUDENTS WE CAN TAILOR THE COURSE THEY GET MORE BUY-IN AND APPLICABLE TO THEM.

THIS IS THE CULMINATING UNIT ONE PROJECT THAT WE DID FROM SOME OF MY STUDENTS AT NEWBURY PARK. I'LL READ ONE OF THE QUOTES.

WHATEVER STUDENT SAID IN THE TOP RIGHT NOTHING STUDIES WE REALLY DIVE DEEPER INTO OUR PAST AND LEARN WE NOT ONLY LEARN MORE ABOUT HERSELF AND HER BACKGROUNDS BUT WE LEARN ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S PRE-WE GET TO SEE THE PAST AND SEE FROM ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE. IT CREATES A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT EACH OTHER AND A CANVAS TO CREATE OUR OWN AND LEARN. THANK YOU.

THIS WAS ALSO ON MIKE'S BEHALF. THEY DID THE SAME THING BUT IN A DIFFERENT MODE. YOU WILL SEE THE BOXES WHICH IS A MEXICAN-AMERICAN TRADITION. THEY ALSO EXPLORE IDENTITY AND CREATED THEIR OWN PROJECTS BUT IN A DIFFERENT MODE.

AND ONE OF HIS QUOTES. THE CLASS THAT TEACHES THE HISTORY WE NEVER LEARNED FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, WE NEVER GET TO

HEAR C. >> THIS IS A PICTURE OF HER STUDENTS WHEN THEY WENT TO THE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM IN LOS ANGELES AND WE GOT SOME REALLY GOOD FEEDBACK.

AS YOU SAW THE QUOTES THERE AND AFTER TALKING TO SOME STUDENTS.

THE REFLECTION WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY AND WE PLAN TO DO THAT IN THE COMING YEARS SO THEY REALLY GET THE MOST OUT OF THAT GOOD I'M GOING TO ASK YOU NOW. YOU'VE SEEN THIS, WHO WANTS TO TAKE THIS CLASS AFTER LISTENING TO THIS.

THEY SAY PART OF A STUDENT'S CHOICE TO TAKE THESE CLASSES ARE THE TEACHERS AND THE EDUCATORS AND I TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THESE TWO AND I DON'T WANT TO SAY MIKE BUT MR. LYNCH IS PASSING IT THIS COURSE AS THESE TWO IN THE WORK THAT THEY PUT IN, I JUST WANT TO TAKE THE TIME. I KNOW MR. LOU ALREADY DID BUT I WANT TO THANK THESE TWO AS WELL AS MR. LYNCH FOR THE TIME THAT THEY HAVE SPENT STARTING WAY BACK TWO YEARS AGO WHEN WE MET WITH THE SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT AND WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT WHAT THIS IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE WITH THE CALIFORNIA FRAMEWORK AND THE MODEL CURRICULUM AND PICKING WHAT WE

[03:10:03]

WE ARE GETTING BETTER IT'S GAINING MOMENTUM AND WERE GETTING MORE AND MORE STUDENTS AND I WANT TO GET TO THAT IN A MINUTE. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.

NEXT STEPS. WE ALREADY TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MAKING THIS A PERMANENT CLASS.

AS WE DO WITH EVERY CLASS WE HAVE PILOTED THIS YEAR.

THE NEXT STEP IN THE FUTURE MEETING WILL BE TO BRING BEFORE THE BOARD BEFORE MAKING A PERMANENT RATE IS STILL RIGHT NOW AS A G ELECTIVE AND THAT WILL CONTINUE EVENTUALLY AS YOU SAW BEFORE THE 201930 SCHOOL YEAR THAT WILL BE A MANDATE AND EVERY STUDENT BY THAT TIME WILL NEED TO TAKE THAT AS A GRADUATION REQUIREMENT. AS FOR RIGHT NOW THE PILOT TO PERMANENT WHEN THAT HAPPENS IT'LL BE PERMANENT COURSE THAT WE ARE MOVING FORWARD IN DOING EVERY YEAR.

>> AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD AND DO THAT.

IT'S ONE OF THE NEXT STEPS. MR. HUTTON WAS TALKING ABOUT THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPER OPPORTUNITIES THAT EVERY COMMENCED BUT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT PREVIOUS ALL THE CONFERENCE UCSB CONFERENCE THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO GO TO CRETE IS A GREAT NETWORKING SEMINAR FOR TEACHERS.

AS MR. HUTTON SAID NOT ONLY AS WEALTH KNOWLEDGE RESTED NETWORK AND GET INFORMATION THAT WE PROVIDE AND HELP OTHER DISTRICTS. IT'S FIVE DAYS AND IT'S REALLY PROVED TO BE BENEFICIAL. MR. HUTTON ALSO TOUCHED ON OUR PARTNERSHIP ONE SHINE IT'S BEEN GREAT HAVING KELLY VERY AND THANKS TO DWIGHT ROGERS FOR HELPING US WITH THAT CONNECTION AND PARTNERSHIP. WE CONTINUE THAT AS MONTHLY.

MS. BERRY PROVIDES THE EXPERTISE.

THAT'S IN HER FIELD AND WHAT SHE HAS BROUGHT TO THE TABLE HAS BEEN INVALUABLE FOR TEACHERS AND AS WE CONTINUE TO BUILD THOSE UNITS SHE WAS ALSO INSTRUMENTAL IN BRINGING IN BLACK HISTORY MONTH THE STUDENT GROUP. I'M FORGETTING THE NAME, DIVAS.

THANK YOU AND THEY JUST PERFORMED AT WRESTLEMANIA.

ANY WRESTLEMANIA FANS, THEY WERE THERE.

IT'S COOL TO SEE THEM ON TV EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T WATCH WRESTLEMANIA. I USED TO BE A FAN IN THE 80S.

HAVING THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE CONNECTION WITH ONE SHINE HAS BEEN GREAT AND WE WILL CONTINUE AS WE MEET MONTHLY AND DEVELOP THE CURRICULUM. GREAT RESOURCES.

I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ADVERTISING ONE THING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE BOARD HOW ARE WE PROMOTING THIS CLASS IN GETTING KIDS TO GET INTERESTED INTO WANT TO TAKE THIS CLASS. A LOT OF EFFORT AS GONE INTO THAT ISSUE IN ADDITION WITH MEETING WITH THE COUNSELORS AND THE TEACHERS DID GREAT JOB OF HAVING A MEETING WITH THE COUNSELORS AND EXPLAINING THE COURSE AND THAT BEATER CONDUIT TO COMMUNICATION AND WE DONE TEACHERS INTO T-SHIRTS AND POSTERS IN THE FIELD TRIPS, NOT DURING, RUSH BUT CLUB DAY TABLES ON THE CAMPUSES OF PEOPLE CAN KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT GET THEIR INTEREST. I AM PROUD TO SAY THIS YEAR WITH HER COURSE REQUEST NEWBURY PARK HIGH SCHOOL WAS CLOSE TO 100 COURSE REQUEST FOR NEXT YEAR VERY SIMILAR THOUSAND OAKS HIGH SCHOOL RISING IN WESTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL WE ARE ABOUT THE SAME WERE ABOUT 68 IF THE BOARD LIKES I CAN GET THE EXACT NUMBERS.

IT'S EVER-CHANGING WITH COURSE REQUEST BUT THAT PROMOTION AS WE GOT TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND PROMOTED AS WELL AS PROMOTING WITHIN THE HIGH SCHOOL THEY REALLY DONE A GOOD JOB OF MAKING NOT KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL. PRINCIPALS HAVE TAKEN OWNERSHIP OF THIS AND SCHOOL NEWSLETTERS HOME AND COMMUNICATIONS HOME AND I MENTIONED BEFORE MARKETING AND DOING A MUCH BETTER JOB OF MARKETING AND GRADE STUDENTS AS A TRANSLATION INTO HIGH SCHOOL

SO THEY KNOW ABOUT IT. >> MR. HUTTON MENTIONED BEFORE THE CURRENT FIT GRADERS IT IS WHEN TO BE REQUIREMENT.

WHY NOT START THAT PLANTING INTO THE SEED WHEN THEY GET INTO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND TALKING ABOUT AND MAKING THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES KNOW ABOUT THIS COURSE SO WE CONTINUE TO GROW THOSE NUMBERS. THAT LEADS RIGHT INTO THE LAST THING THE ENROLLMENT GROWTH. THE SURETY WE HAVE 88 STUDENTS CURRENTLY IN ETHNIC STUDIES AND THAT IS FOR BOTH SEMESTERS

[03:15:01]

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS UPDATE.

AND ON ALL OF THE PROGRESS THAT YOU HAVE MADE.

MR. HUTTON I THANK YOU MAY HAVE OVERTHINK THIS A LITTLE BIT.

WE WOULD LIKE TO SHINE SOME OF THE GRATITUDE BACK AT YOU AND MS. CHAPPELL AND MR. LYNCH AND YOU MR. MERCER.

THIS IS REALLY ENCOURAGING, GREAT TO HEAR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS?

>> TRUSTEE LOPEZ. >> I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.

LET ME BACK UP, FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU FOR THE INCREDIBLE PRESENTATION. MR. HUTTON GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN. NOW TO MY QUESTION DO THE ENROLLMENT NUMBERS THAT YOU WERE TALKATIVE ON THE LAST SLIDE INCLUDE THE NON- CVUSD CENTURY COURSE?

>> NO. >> IS THERE A WAY TO BE A SHIFT FROM THAT COURSE TO THE CVUSD COURSE.

>> RIGHT NOW THE ETHNIC STUDIES COURSE AT SENTRY IS THROUGH APEX SO APEX CURRICULUM IS KIND OF WHAT THEY'VE DONE HISTORICALLY.

IT'S HARD TO DEVIATE FROM THE APEX CURRICULUM.

HOWEVER, IF WE HAVE CLASSES AT SENTRY IN ONE OF THOSE ARE IN ETHICS STUDIES WE COULD USE A CURRICULUM FOR THE.

>> THANK YOU. >> OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> FIRST OF ALL MR. HUTTON AND MRS. CHAPPELL.

I LIKE TO THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR ENTHUSIASM FOR WHEN YOU WATCH IT ON FILM AND MR. LYNCH YOU ALSO.

AND MR. MERCER, THANK YOU. INCREDIBLE PRESENTATION I CANNOT RAISE MY HAND HIGH ENOUGH WHEN YOU ASKED WHO WANTS TO TAKE THIS COURSE. IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE I ALSO HAVE TO THINK, THIS MIGHT BE A LITTLE SNARKY BUT I ALSO HAVE TO THINK BECAUSE I KNOW HE WATCHES EVERYONE IN THE 1000 SCHOOL.

MEETINGS, OUR GOVERNOR WHO MADE THIS ALL POSSIBLE AS OPPOSED TO OTHER GOVERNORS. ANYWAY YOU TO THANK YOU.

>> I WANT TO CHIME IN AND SAY THANK YOU ALL.

IT'S REALLY GREAT AND THRILLING TO SEE THIS AND HOW IT'S BEEN IMPLEMENTED AND MOVING FORWARD AND GETTING MORE KIDS INTO THE CLASSES AND IT'S AN AREA OF STUDY AND FOCUS THAT I THINK IS SO IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF HER STUDENTS.

I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT WE HAVE IT AND YOU ARE DOING IT.

THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE QUESTIONING.

>> OKAY, WE APPRECIATE IT. >> OKAY IT'S A MARATHON MR. LU

[D. Instructional Services - Presentation and Approval of Instructional Materials Adoptions for 2023-2024]

>> WE ARE AT THE LAST LEG OF IT. BEFORE I START ON THIS ONE YOU KNOW OUR DIRECTORS AND OUR TEAM DOWN HERE HAVE BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD AND STRESSING REALLY HARD FOR THE LAST 30 HOURS WERE TALKED ABOUT WRESTLEMANIA IN A PUBLIC BOARD MEETING.

MOVING ON TO HER LAST PRESENTATION.

THIS IS REALLY A PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION ON INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS ADOPTION FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

THE SITE AND WILL BE BROUGHT BACK FOR A BOARD VOTE HOPING WE CAN APPROVE THESE MATERIALS TO BEGIN NEXT YEAR.

VERY QUICKLY JUST TO GET US GOING WE BELIEVE IT OR NOT ARE RAPID OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND REALLY STARTING TO THINK ABOUT WHAT ARE THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS WE CAN ADOPT FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR END BELIEVE IT OR NOT WITH FETA INCREDIBLE TEAM OF ADMINISTRATORS PILOTING AND LOOKING AT AND ANALYZING ALL OF THIS YEAR INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS THAT WE ARE CONSIDERING AND PROPOSING TONIGHT FOR POSSIBLE ADOPTION.

SO THE PURPOSE OF TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION IS TO REVIEW SOME OF HER DISTRICT POLICIES ON THE SELECTION OF THE VALUATION

[03:20:05]

I WILL ALSO QUICKLY SAY I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I SAID TO HER THREE PRESENTATIONS AGO THERE IS NO PERFECT SET OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. WE LOOK TO IDENTIFY A GREAT SET OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS THAT ALLOWS US TO TEACH STANDARDS AND SUPPORT ALL OF HER LEARNERS. AS WE'VE DONE THIS WORK TO REVIEW MATERIALS. THAT'S BEEN OUR COMPASS AS EDUCATORS. BUT THAT IS THE STATE STANDARD AND WHAT PROVIDES HER TEACHERS AND OUR STUDENTS THE BEST FOUNDATION FOR EVERYONE TO LEARN AND ENGAGE IN THE STANDARDS.

THE OTHER INFORMATION NOTED IN OUR BOARD POLICY WHICH I WILL NOTE MATCHES IDENTICALLY TO GAMMA LANGUAGE.

THE REVIEW PROCESS SHALL INVOLVE TEACHERS IN A SUBSTANTIAL MANNER AND ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS PER ALIGNMENT WITH EDUCATION CODE 6002 AND WILL SPEAK MORE ABOUT HOW PARENTS AND GUARDIANS AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS CAN PARTICIPATE REVIEW THE MATERIALS.

HE ALSO NOTES AS WE HAVE DONE FOR THESE PROPOSED MATERIALS WE'VE WORKED WITH TEACHERS TO PRIVATE THEM WHICH MEANS TEACHERS HAVE REVIEWED A SET OF AVAILABLE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS DETERMINE WHICH ONES WE WANT TO PILOT WHICH IS TO TEST OUT IN OUR CLASSROOMS AND BASED OFF OF THAT FEEDBACK WE ARE SUBMITTING THESE RECOMMENDED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND AS NOTED ALL RECOMMENDED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION AT OUR DISTRICT OFFICE AND AVAILABLE AT OUR SCHOOL SITE OFFICES.

THIS IS A QUICK LOOK AT THE SUBJECT'S AREAS AND GRADE LEVELS IN WHICH WE ARE PROPOSING NEW INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS TO START NEXT YEAR. WE ARE SPECIFICALLY NOTING WHEN THESE MATERIALS WERE LAST ADOPTED.

TO THE QUESTION OF WHY WERE THESE SPECIFICALLY SELECTED AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT A BOARD PRESENTATION IN MAY OF 2002 WHEN WE SPECIFICALLY HIGHLIGHTED THE SOCIAL SCIENCE HISTORY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE AND SCIENCE AS A BIG NEED AND WE ARE HERE CONTINUING THE PRIMER EDUCATORS THAT THESE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS NEED TO BE UPDATED. NOT JUST FROM THE FACT THAT THEIR OUTDATED BUT THEY ARE REALLY CURRENT MATERIALS THAT CAN BE ENHANCED AND THE ENHANCEMENT REALLY WOULD REFLECT FOR SCIENCE IN THE NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS.

SO THE STATE ADOPTED THE NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS IN 2013 BUT OUR LAST SCIENCE ADOPTION WAS IN 2007.

THOSE SUBSEQUENT TO THE ADOPTION OF THOSE NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS FOR EXAMPLE THERE WAS THE ADOPTION OF THE SCIENCE CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK. THE CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK WHICH WILL TALK ABOUT A COUPLE MORE TIMES IS THE STATES GUIDANCE TO THE EDUCATORS ON HOW TO BEST TEACH THOSE STANDARDS.

A SUDDEN CHANGE OF THE STANDARDS BUT WHAT IS THE BEST PRACTICE ON HOW DO WE INSTRUCTIONALLY TEACHES STANDARDS PREFER HISTORY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE, TO NOTE YOU CAN SEE THE LAST ADOPTION FOR THE ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL GRADE LEVELS WAS IN 2006.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE IN 2016 THE STATE ADOPTED ITS UPDATED HISTORY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE FRAMEWORK.

AGAIN, HOW DO WE BEST TEACH THOSE PARTICULAR STANDARDS.

THESE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS REFLECT THE CHANGES IN STANDARDS AS WELL AS CURRICULUM FRAMEWORKS.

TO GET TO IT, FOR ELEMENTARY HISTORY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE.

HER TEACHERS RECOMMENDATION IS THROUGH THE PUBLIC MATERIALS AND TITLE CALLED MY WORLD. YOU CAN SEE AT THE TOP, THIS'LL BE FOR THE NEXT FEW SLIDES, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROCESS AND THE TIMELINE. FOR OUR PROCESS, OUR COMMITTEE THAT PILOTED THE MATERIALS COMPRISE 30 FOR EDUCATORS INCLUDING THE LANGUAGE TEACHER AND SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER.

YOU COULD KNOW OUR TIMELINE FROM SEPTEMBER TO APRIL 3 BEING WHEN THE COMMITTEE IDENTIFIED WHICH MATERIALS THEY PREFERRED.

[03:25:05]

THE MATERIALS AS I NOTED A LINE WITH SOME OF THE IMPORTANT SHIFTS IN THE CALIFORNIA HISTORY SOCIAL SCIENCE FRAMEWORK THAT WAS PASSED IN 2016. WE DID SEE THROUGHOUT THE MATERIALS THE INCLUSION AND HIGHLIGHTED STORIES OF UNDERREPRESENTED INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE PROVIDED IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO A CALIFORNIA IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

JUST TO NOTE SOME HIGHLIGHTS INNOCENCE ABILITIES.

WE TALKED ABOUT HOW DO WE PROVIDE ADOPTED MATERIALS AND PROVIDE A GOOD FOUNDATION FOR US TO MAKE SURE WE ARE PROVIDING SUPPORT IN THAT TEACHERS CAN MAKE REALLY GOOD DECISIONS ABOUT HOW TO MAKE CONTENT MORE ACCESSIBLE.

SOME OF THAT FOR THIS PARTICULAR CURRICULUM THAT TEACHERS NOTED THE ONLINE RESOURCES WERE REALLY ROBUST.

INFORMATION IN THE TEXT IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN SPANISH.

STAFF NOTED THE VARIETY OF INSTRUCTION ROUTINE AND MATERIALS AND WRITING PROMPTS AND READING CHECKS AND GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS AND A STRONG FOCUS ON BOTH CONTENT VOCABULARY AND ACADEMIC VOCABULARY. LOOKING INTO SCIENCE, THIS IS SCIENCE GRADES SIX THROUGH 12. I'LL TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS OF THE TIMELINE AND THEN I'LL TALK ABOUT WHAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING.

FOR THE PROCESS OF TIMELINE YOU CAN SEE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF 17 SCIENCE TEACHERS INCLUDING AN ELD TEACHER AND SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL COMMITTEE VERY SIMILAR 17 SCIENCE TEACHERS IN A TEACHING PARTNER, ELD TEACHERS AND SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS.

YOU CAN NOTE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE TIMELINE.

AS WE LOOK AT ALL THE SECONDARY GRADE LEVELS WE DO HAVE A DIFFERENT PUBLISHER RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS.

THIS IS SPECIFICALLY BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF HER TEACHERS AND I'LL EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IT.

TEACHERS DETERMINE THAT STEMS SCOPES ROBUST SIX THROUGH 10 WHICH IS PRIMARILY THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL INCLUDING EARTH SCIENCE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL.

IT WOULD BE EASY TO SAY WE SHOULD ALL ADOPT THE SAME THINGS AND HOWEVER, IT WAS IMPORTANT TO NOTE EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE MATERIALS THAT COME FROM THE SAME PUBLISHER NOT ALL THE MATERIALS ARE WRITTEN BY THE SAME AUTHOR IN DESIGN IN THE EXACT SAME WAY. OUR CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS TEACHERS REALLY LOOKED AT THE STEMS SCOPES MATERIALS BUT MORE ADVANTAGES THIS DIVORCE FOR CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS.

PHYSICS AND THE RECOMMENDATION IS THE MATERIALS NOTING FOR THE ADDITIONS AND STEMS SCOPES AND LACK SCIENCE STANDARDS.

IN THE MATERIALS I PROVIDED BETTER DIFFERENTIATED SUPPORT AND ONLINE ACCESS OF RESOURCES. IN TERMS OF CHEMISTRY, THAT TEAM NOTING THE CHEMISTRY CURRICULUM NOTING ALL BETTER VISUALS AND DIAGRAMS AS WELL AS THE ALLOWANCE FOR THE DIFFERENTIATED LABS FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS AS WELL IS AVAILABILITY IN THE ROBUSTNESS OF ELO-P AND MATERIALS FOR CHEMISTRY.

AND THAT IS WHY YOU SEE SOME OF THE DIFFERENCE NOTED THERE.

SOME OF THE RATIONALE GENERALLY I SPOKE A LITTLE SPECIFICALLY.

A LOT OF THE HIGHLIGHTS ARE NOTING THE ONLINE RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR INDIVIDUALS AND DIAGRAMS DIFFERENTIATE LABS FOR CHEMISTRY IN THE GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS AND A LOT OF COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITIES THAT WERE BUILT INTO THESE TECHS.

DID I SKIP ONE, THE NEXT ONE IS FOR HISTORY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE AND THAT IS A RECOMMENDATION FOR GRADES NINE THROUGH 12 AND THAT INCLUDES WORLD HISTORY, U.S. HISTORY, GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMICS. YOU CAN NOTE THE COMMITTEE WHICH WAS REPRESENTATIVE OF 15 TEACHERS INCLUDING FOUR ELD TEACHERS INTO SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS IN THE TIMELINE THERE.

THE RATIONALE IN PARTICULAR NOTES SIMILAR TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY MATERIALS AND THEY ALSO REFLECT THE CONTRIBUTION OF HISTORIC UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS IN THE STAFF NOTED THE INTERACTIVE MAPS AND TIMELINES AND REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE AUDIO COMPONENT WHICH THE TEXT CAN BE READ ALOUD AND THERE THE READER COULD GO BACK AND GO TO THE

[03:30:09]

THE FIRST IS THE TWO TEACHERS IN THE DISTRICT REFLECT 50 STUDENTS. FOR ANTHROPOLOGY WE HAVE ONE TEACHER AND ONE SECTION WITHIN THE DISTRICT CURRENTLY WITH 38 STUDENTS. THESE ARE THERE PARTICULAR

RECOMMENDATIONS. >> HAVE A LIST OF THE PROPOSED MATERIALS AND BOLD AND THE PUBLISHER NAME IN THE ITALICS IN AN ESTIMATED COST BY EACH OF THEM IN TOTAL THE OVERALL ESTIMATE IS ABOUT $3.3 MILLION. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THIS DOES INCLUDE THE COST FOR INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS ALL OF HER STUDENTS IN ONLINE LICENSES FOR THOSE STUDENTS FOR 6 - 8 YEARS, WE SET ASIDE ONE TIME FUNDING OF THE MUSIC INSTRUCTIONAL DISCRETIONARY GRANT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION EARLIER THIS YEAR WHICH DOES PROVIDE ENOUGH FUNDING TO COVER MOST OF THE COST.

AGAIN WE ARE SPENDING ONE-TIME DOLLARS ON ONE-TIME EXPENSES.

OKAY. FINAL NEXT STEPS.

COMMENCING TOMORROW ALL OF THE MATERIALS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT SCHOOL SITE OFFICES. WHEN I SAY ALL OF THEM, THOSE THAT CORRESPOND TO THE GRADE SPAN THE PROPOSED ELEMENTARY WILL BE AT THE ELEMENTARY OFFICES ET CETERA.

ALL OF THE MATERIALS WILL BE AT THE DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL CENTER FOR ANYONE TO REVIEW. WE WILL BE HOLDING A WEBINAR PREVIEW WHICH WILL BE ON APRIL 25 AND WE'VE INCLUDED REGISTRATION FOR THIS ALREADY IN THE PREVIOUS MONDAYS COMMUNICATION SNAPSHOT AND WE WILL BRING FORWARD FOR POSSIBLE APPROVAL TO HER BOARD OF EDUCATION AT THE NEXT BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING AND FINGERS CROSSED WE WILL THEN REALLY QUICKLY ORDER INSTRUCTION MATERIALS TO BEGIN SO WE CAN HAVE THEM FOR NEXT YEAR AND WORK TO PROVIDE TEACHER TRAINING.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> TAKEN FOR THE PRESENTATION. THIS IS GOOD NEWS.

ANY QUESTIONS? >> I HAD A QUESTION THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT PRESENTATION. WERE THESE TEXTBOOKS PRIORITIZED BECAUSE THEY ARE THE OLDEST CUSTOMER.

>> COULD YOU CLARIFY, WHAT YOU MEAN BY THE OLDEST.

>> IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME THAT WE ADOPTED AND I'M CURIOUS WERE PRIORITIZING AND ARE THERE ANY OTHERS.

>> THESE PARTICULAR SPECIFICALLY HISTORY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE AND SCIENCE. THESE MATERIALS ARE CORE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS BUT WE HAVE MORE RECENTLY UPDATED MATHEMATICS AND LANGUAGE ARTS. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IS OLDEST IN TERMS OF THE FOUR AREAS, THAT WOULD BE THE TWO THAT WERE PROPOSING.

>> WE ARE FEELING PRETTY GOOD IN ELA AND MATH.

>> WERE ALWAYS GOING THROUGH THE IMPROVEMENT BUT IN TERMS OF THE MATERIALS IN THOSE BEING MORE UP-TO-DATE, YES.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE GREAT PRESENTATIONS. IN PARTICULAR THAT'S WHAT WERE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW. WHEN WE ADOPTED THE WONDERS CURRICULUM. I REMEMBER ALL THE STUFF THAT WAS PILOTED WAS BROUGHT IN MAY HAVE JUST BEEN BACK, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT, SO PARENTS COULD LOOK AT IT THERE AND ASKED PART OF THE PROCESS. IN OTHER THOUGHT OR DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS. WE MAY NOT HAVE TIME AND THAT IS BEING UNLIMITED BUT I KNOW IT WAS HELPFUL TO GETTING IT INTO THE HANDS OF THE PARENTS WHO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SPREAD THE WORD THAT THESE ARE MATERIALS AND YOU CAN GO SEE THEM TO AND THAT KIND

[03:35:02]

OF THING. >> I DON'T HAVE OFFHAND THE ADVISORY COUNCIL COMMITTEE THAT WE HAVE BETWEEN THAT TIMEFRAME AND WE CERTAINLY COULD BRING THEM WITH US.

I DO THINK AGAIN WE'VE ALSO COMMUNICATED IN THE COMMUNICATION SNAPSHOT THAT THESE MATERIALS ARE GOING TO BE AVAILABLE AS WELL. I DO FEEL THERE IS GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS AS WE HAVE IN OUR SCHOOL OFFICES.

>> I REMEMBER THAT WE DID THAT. >> WE HAD THEM LAID OUT ON THE TABLE WITH THE SCAN THROUGH PRIOR TO.

>> WHATEVER DOCS WE HAVE AND IF WE HAVE ANY BETWEEN NOW AND THE TIME WE WILL PUT THEM ON THE BACK TABLE AND FOLKS CAN STAY THERE OR COME IN LATE AND TAKE A LOOK AT THEM.

THAT WILL WRECK YOUR NICE-LOOKING TABLE AT THE

DISTRICT OFFICE. >> I WOULD HATE TO DO THAT.

>> MAKE IT LOOK GOOD. >> AND PUTTING IN A PLUG FOR A FAVORITE PROGRAM AND I'M TRIED TO FIND A CONNECTION BETWEEN OUR FIFTH GRADE SOCIAL SCIENCE CURRICULUM AND WE THE PEOPLE.

IS THERE ANY CONNECTION AND WITH THE ADOPTION OF SAVVAS HAVE AN

IMPACT ON WE THE PEOPLE? >> AS A LOOK AT DOCTOR SELLERS, WE THE PEOPLE CURRICULUM IS SEPARATE AND WHAT ARE CURRENTLY ADOPTED MATERIALS ARE AND WHAT THESE PROPOSED ADOPTED MATERIALS

WOULD BE. >> SO WE WOULD STILL HAVE IT

ONCE THE ADOPT SAVVAS READ OKAY. >> A QUICK BROAD QUESTION DO YOU THINK WILL EVER REACH THE POINT WHERE TEXTBOOKS PARTICULARLY IN HIGH SCHOOL BECOME DIGITAL SO POOR STUDENTS DON'T HAVE TO LUG? IS THAT EVEN CONTEMPLATED ANYWHERE?

>> IS CERTAINLY IS AND CERTAINLY THE LAST TIME WE ADOPTED THESE MATERIALS WE DIDN'T HAVE A DEVICE IN EVERY STUDENTS HANDS.

AND WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE HONORS IN ANTHROPOLOGY, ALL OF THOSE MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE DIGITALLY FOR STUDENTS.

>> WERE STILL PURCHASING TEXTBOOKS.

>> WE ARE. >> IN RESPONSE TO THAT I'M GOING TO SAY PLEASE IF WE EVER GET DIGITAL PLEASE BUY A COUPLE OF COPIES OF THE TEXTBOOK BECAUSE SOME CANNOT LOOK AT THE COMPUTER THAT LONG. OVER DIGITAL LEARNING MY BRAIN KIND OF MELTED. JUST THROWING THAT IN THERE.

>> ANYONE ELSE? THANK YOU MR. LOU YOU CAN HAVE A WELL-EARNED REST RIGHT NOW. WE ARE NOW AT 5V STUDENT

DOCTOR DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS WHEREAS.

>> BOTH OF THESE THE BOARD POLICY AND ADMIN OF REGULATION IS AN UPDATE BASED ON THE PART OF EDUCATION RETURNED TO SCHOOL ROADMAP FOR THE SINGLE CHILD FIND HER THE BOARD POLICY YOU WILL SEE SOME MINIMAL CHANGES IN THE LANGUAGE CONNECTED TO CHILD FIND. THE BIGGEST CHANGE IN THE MINISTRY OF LAKE RELATION IS THE INTENTIONALITY AND DESIGNATED THE INDIVIDUAL THAT PARENTS WOULD BE ABLE TO CONTACT IF THEY WANT AN ADDITIONAL HELP AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION INTO THESE PRO PROGRAMS.

>> QUESTIONS FOR DOCTOR EGAN'S? >> SORRY, JUST BECAUSE.

AND ANY ANSWER IS FINE, WE WILL GO WITH THAT.

IN READING THROUGH THE AREAS IN PARTICULAR.

A LOT OF IT IS GAMUT LANGUAGE. BUT IT'S VERY ODDLY CONSTRUCTED AND VERY DIFFICULT TO DECIPHER. SO BEFORE I GET IN TO SOME OF MY WONKY QUESTIONS. ARE WE OKAY AS A BOARD OF HAVING THE WONKY CONSTRUCTION OR DO WE WANT TO LOOK AT, I KNOW TODAY IS A REALLY BAD DAY TO REALLY THINK ABOUT IT.

DO WE WANT TO LOOK AT MAY BE WAYS TO MAKE IT ALIGN BETTER AND

[03:40:02]

IF IT WAS EASIER IF IT WAS ME. >> WE ARE FEELING YOUR PAIN BECAUSE IT WAS VERY INTERESTING TRYING TO GET THEIR LANGUAGE.

YES. >> THE QUESTION IS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE QUESTION IS BUT ARE WE OKAY APPROVING AS IS BECAUSE IT IS GAMUT LANGUAGE AND MAYBE SOME WORD AND ADJUSTMENT ALIGNMENT.

I JUST KEEP GOING BACK TO THE FLUENCY DOCTOR SELLERS WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER AND I'M READING IT AND I'M A PRETTY GOOD

READER. >> YES.

>> I'M GOING TO PUT ON I'VE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE HOT.

I KNOW THAT THIS IS BEEN A CONVERSATION THAT IS GET UP OTHER BOARD POLICIES, NOT SPECIFIC TO THIS ONE.

BUT WHERE THERE HAS BEEN AND I THANK YOU ALL AGREE JUST LOOKING THERE IS LANGUAGE THAT LOOPS IN THE SAME PARAGRAPH IN THE SAME STRUCTURE IN THE SAME THINGS LIKE THAT.

AS A BOARD YOU CAN MAKE THE DECISION TO HAVE A BOARD MEMBER DIRECTLY WITH STAFF TO LOOK AT THE CONSTRUCTION, IDENTIFY WHAT THOSE ADJUSTMENTS COULD BE AND WE CAN BRING THIS BACK AS AN INFORMATION ITEM AGAIN WITH THOSE ADJUSTMENTS SO WERE NOT GOING THROUGH IT LINE BY LINE HERE BUT THE BOARD MEMBER AND STAFF WERE TO BOARDMEMBER'S AND STAFF COULD WORK THROUGH THE

LANGUAGE TOGETHER HOWEVER,. >> I'M OKAY IF I GET BALL AND TOLD OR IF SOMEBODY ELSE WANTS TO CHIME RIGHT IN.

>> ICU, I KNOW. >> IT WAS PAINFUL.

IT WAS HARD TO DECIPHER. >> I DON'T NEED TO SEE HER GO

LINE BY LINE. >> THE AMAZING PART THEY INTENTIONALLY DID THIS WHERE THEY NEED TO CLARIFY POST COVID.

>> I GET IT WE WILL FORWARD BOARDMEMBER WHO WAS VERY RIGID

ON THE POLICY. >> WE CAN WORK TOGETHER AND

BRING IT BACK. >> WITH TO GET CONSENSUS FROM THE BOARD IF THAT'S THE ROOT UNDER DIRECTION WERE TO GO.

>> YOU MENTIONED YOUR DIRECTORS WHO ARE HAVING TROUBLE AND LAMENTING. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ONE OF THEM WORK ON CLARIFYING WITH YOU AND WITH YOU.

>> THEY CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THE WORK IN UNDERSTANDING HOW THE

GAMMA IS REFLECTING THE WORK. >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> THAT'S WHAT STARTED MY FIRST QUESTION IS THIS THE ACTUAL PRACTICE SO I TALKED TO SOMEONE WHO KNOWS.

THIS IS THE ACTUAL PRACTICE. THAT IS GREAT.

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> THERE IS NOT AN IMMEDIATE APPROVAL OR ANYTHING IN THIS THAT WE CAN'T HOLD OFF FOR A

COUPLE MORE MEETINGS. >> NO.

>> I AM HERE WITH YOU. >> OKAY THANK YOU CHESTY

>> OTHER THAN THESE ARE THE MOST UP-TO-DATE LANGUAGE OUT OF GA GAMUT. NOTHING SPECIFIC AS WE WENT TO THE POLICIES. THAT HASN'T BEEN IDENTIFIED

WITHIN THE BOLDED LANGUAGE. >> IT SEEMS PRETTY CLEAR, ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? NOPE.

OKAY. >> I HAVE A COMMENTS.

>> GO RIGHT AHEAD. >> I GUESS I JUST FELT LIKE, THIS IS SUPER PICKY. THE WAY THAT THE LANGUAGE WAS CHANGED ON PAGE TWO NUMBER THREE TALKED ABOUT DISCUSSIONS AND AN UNDERSTANDING OF AN ISSUE IN THE DUST UNDER DISCUSSION MAY

[03:45:03]

FOR ME THAT WOULD BE THE MOST AND PRINTING AND DISCUSSING A POLICY. AND NOW THE FIRST THING THAT IS LISTED IS COMMUNITY EXPECTATION. I WOULD ACTUALLY THINK COMMUNITY EXPECTATIONS SHOULD PLAY A ROLE AND SHOULD BE DEALT AT THE END OF THE SENTENCE RATHER THAN THE BEGINNING.

IT IS VERY PICKY BUT WHEN I READ IT I FELT LIKE IT KIND OF SHOVED STUDENT LEARNING AND WELL-BEING DOWN THE LINE AND I DID NOT LIKE THAT. I FELT LIKE IT WAS GIVEN THE WRONG EMPHASIS TO THE WRONG THINGS.

THAT WAS MY COMMENT ON THAT. IT WOULD BE EASY TO MOVE AROUND

IN A DIFFERENT ORDER. >> IT WOULD AND I'M NOT SURE THE

INTENTION WAS TO WAIT THINGS. >> PROBABLY NOT.

BUT WHOEVER'S READING IT. >> I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH REORIENTING THE SENTENCE, IS THAT OKAY?

>> WE CAN PUT IT FIRST. >> IT IS PICKY BUT.

>> IS A PRINCIPAL. >> OKAY.

>> WE ALWAYS SAY OUR STUDENTS COME FIRST.

>> EXACTLY. >> OKAY, ANYTHING ELSE?

>> IT IS IN THE EXHIBIT. >> I WANTED TO NOTE THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T SEE THE SUPER MAJORITY VERY OFTEN WHICH IS A FOUR OUT OF FIVE VOTE. JUST TO NOTE THAT AS AN ADJUSTMENT. [INAUDIBLE]

>> REMEMBER GAMUT LANGUAGE HAS A SEVEN MEMBER BOARD AS WELL SO THAT'S THE TERMINOLOGY OF THE MAJORITY BASED ON THAT.

THAT WAS JUST A POINT OF HIGHLIGHT FOR YOU.
