Sus ideas de las habilidades para el Siglo XXI

SJUSD adoptó una nueva declaración de su visión y misión

La Mesa Directiva del Distrito Escolar Unificado de San José adoptó una nueva declaración de su visión y misión

El 1º de septiembre, la Mesa Directiva del SJUSD votó para aprobar una nueva declaración de la visión y misión para el Distrito Escolar Unificado de San José.

Declaración de la visión: “A todos los estudiantes del SJUSD se les inspira y se les prepara para que triunfen en una sociedad global”.

Declaración de la misión: “La misión del SJUSD es eliminar la brecha de oportunidades y brindar a todos los estudiantes la mejor educación posible para el Siglo XXI”.

La Mesa Directiva del Distrito estableció una base excelente para la visión y misión futuras del Distrito, las razones para cambiar las declaraciones de la visión y misión tienen los siguientes objetivos:

Visión:

• Hacer que el enfoque de la visión sean los estudiantes, no el Distrito. 
• Hacer que el resultado de nuestros esfuerzos sean los estudiantes que son a quienes se les inspira y prepara para triunfar.
• Añadir la palabra “todos” antes de estudiantes, enfatizando nuestra discrepancia en el nivel de logro de los estudiantes.
• Cambiar “economía global” por “sociedad global” a fin de garantizar que podamos incluir civismo responsable, habilidades y conocimientos del Siglo XXI.
• Quitar las palabras “se compromete a”, dado que el enfoque está puesto en los estudiantes, no en el Distrito y el concepto de “comprometer” no se orienta tanto la acción como “inspirar y preparar”.
• El enunciado es corto y nos ayuda a visualizar a los estudiantes del futuro.

Misión:

• Nuestro deber primordial es brindar educación de alta calidad para todos y cada uno de los estudiantes y todavía no hemos tenido éxito para eliminar la discrepancia entre el nivel de logro de los estudiantes blancos, asiáticos y latinos. 
• Necesitamos estrechar nuestro enfoque, asumir la responsabilidad y finalmente comprometernos a garantizar la equidad de oportunidades y resultados para todos los estudiantes.
• Es necesario definir el concepto de “la mejor educación posible para el Siglo XXI”. Queremos que nos conduzca a avanzar de “bueno” a “excelente”.  Necesita incluir todo lo siguiente:  ambientes seguros, destrezas de la más alta calidad, habilidades a la altura del Siglo XXI, civismo responsable y respeto por sí mismos, los demás y el medio ambiente.
• El enunciado es corto, fácil de recordar y se enfoca en el trabajo de nuestros empleados y del Distrito.

Todas las personas en nuestra comunidad tendrán la oportunidad de participar en el proceso de reajustar el Plan Estratégico del Distrito a través de varios grupos de enfoque, juntas de los comités, juntas en las escuela y juntas comunitarias.  Por favor continúe visitando el sitio en Internet del Distrito ya que estas juntas se llevarán a cabo próximamente. Queremos obtener las ideas y sugerencias de todos con respecto a lo que nuestros estudiantes deben saber y ser capaces de hacer como estudiantes del Siglo XXI.

Test List

Dr. John Q. Porter, former Deputy Superintendent from Montgomery County Public Schools, was the keynote speaker who showed the data behind how their school system successfully closed the achievement gap and described the systems and structures put in place to accomplish that feat.

Following Dr. Porter’s presentation, Dr. Matthews demonstrated – through trend data focusing on gaps in student outcomes between Hispanic and White students – the urgency we have in SJUSD to close the opportunity gap and the need to move our students further in their knowledge and 21st century skills.

Great synergy could be felt across the room as interdepartmental groups of administrators gathered to discuss the opportunity gap and what skills a SJUSD student, moving through each level within the district, should know and how we would measure those skills.  Below are questions that were discussed, along with various needs and resources identified to close the opportunity gap and have all students be 21st century learners. The district will compile the data from CI Day, Community Meetings and various Feedback Sessions and use them as a guide when we reset the Strategic Plan and develop a criteria of 21st century skills we believe necessary for all SJUSD students to be successful in a global society.

• Which student data had the most impact for you and why?
• From your experience, what is the difference in opportunities for the various student groups in SJUSD?
• In what ways (processes, activities, programs or services) is coordination and alignment of efforts between departments, sites, the district office and unions “Great,” not just “good?”  (“Great” includes getting results.)
• In what process and activities has there been minimal, or lack of, coordination and alignment between and among district office, departments, sites and unions?  (slows or impedes our ability to get to “Great,” i.e. communication)
• What recommendations do you have to improve coordination and alignment between sites and departments and the district office?
• What 21st century skills are needed by SJUSD students today and throughout the 21st century?
• How can we best prepare our students to enter post secondary institutions and/or the world of work with those skills?
• What strategies and approaches do you recommend that we explore, pilot or fully implement to close the achievement gap for all students?
• How can we best involve our community (including employees, parents, and partners) in helping SJUSD students develop 21st century skills?
• What support can we offer each other as we focus our work on closing the achievement gap and 21st century skills?
• What support do we need as we focus our site or department on closing the gap and 21st century skills?
