 change about really changing the systems that we work in. The good thing about it is that we have four school districts in the audience today participating on how we're going to move it collectively. And Greg just to really go back a little bit and talk about the collective impact that we're trying to do. Just the individuals in this room if we do it right, if we really plan it, use our data get our activities and strategies and then we measure it to see what impact it's having. We're going to make a tremendous impact in San Antonio. I want to let you know that today for part of the activities my part today is to kind of walk you through some of the instructions of what we're going to be doing today. We have four school districts and we have four facilitators Gina, Elizabeth, myself, Alma and Jacob we're four of your facilitators and if you notice here are our titles and here are the organizations that we work for if you notice that we're neutral, we don't work for school districts, we're more on what we call the private side. Of course Gina works with state representative Mike Berriel but the good thing about it is collectively we do have experience in working with school districts whether it's through policy through academics and like Jacob and T.G. and I work for Educate Texas under a private foundation. We also work with individuals like you in different communities around the state of Texas to help with the funding, to help with capital resources as far as human resources to talk about policy changes so today the facilitators are going to work with you are going to kind of sit back and listen to you have the conversations but at the same time to steal a little bit of Greg's thunder we're also going to share some stories of different things that we have encountered in the various roles that we play so real quickly I wanted to walk you through a couple of things I want you to write down your number Harlandale your number three and let me tell you a little bit of what we're going to do in your folder you're going to write your name on the outside of your folder to make sure that no one picks it up and takes it away and then you write your number write your number, write big because we're going to use it two times that number is going to have some significance and I'll tell you just a little bit before we go there I want to show you that I got Harlandale the ISD mission statement and district goals right off of your website and I highlighted words like education, high quality education, all students graduate, staff development, higher ed, workforce practices, district resources, innovative instructional facilities needs against students community involvement, I highlighted those because it resonated that over and over again your emphasis is focused on these individual components of what we call attributes of education Northside your number is two so write it right outside of your folder, look at the words that I've highlighted here committed against students, children come first, excellence compete, future, everyone shares responsibility contribution, learn quality, opportunity, challenge learning, worth, resource, respect and family and foundation again attributes of what your belief statements are and the vision that you have in your districts San Antonio your number one transform, model, graduates, every child educated, contributing member, community improving, quality education, determination prepare, look at the word all, higher education believes commitments and core values. Southwest your number four, we believe and we will achieve this vision by 2015, now we have alignments to 2020, so we started talking about top national merit scholars, completion on top graduates, daily attendance, retention, teamwork, confidence, start talking about college and university graduates and graduations. The reason I share that with you is that just exactly what Pat was talking about Patrick, you see the words that come together when we put it into a wordle and in the wordle it shows that the bigger the lettering or the bigger the word the more times you all use this as a collective thought or a collective vision of what you're going to concentrate so this kind of puts us all on the same wavelength, it also talks about the vision and mission of what we are. You're about success and readiness, about college, about teamwork and partners coming together. Parents is a big, big one, but look at the bigger ones graduation, commitment, prepare, that students are very important. If you start looking at the smaller it was of course those were important but the big ones what brings us together in this room today. To understand that we have a vision and mission and these are the attributes of what we're going to be focusing on. So here we go the part about rolling up the sleeves, you know it takes a village for all of us to come together and I took this right off of your website also that the San Antonio partners are growing. If you notice all of the individuals we have the private foundations that are coming in. I work for Educate Texas, you've got the different universities you have the school districts that are involved, people that are in the communities, community bay, CBOs, you're talking about people in the health professions. So in essence this initiative that we're working in together you're not alone. You have a lot of people that are supporting the work that we're doing. And that's not all. As we develop our action plans or strategy plans in our matrix, these are the folks that we're going to go to to help us collect the data, analyze the data, be part of our partnerships, maybe even knock on their doors for funding for human capital for volunteerism. So these are the people that are already committed to this vision and mission of San Antonio 2020 of the Aplomas project. So here we go. This is part one. If you notice that we have 90 minutes for this activity probably we're going to cut it about 10 minutes, but it is a working lunch. As soon as we dismiss what we're going to be doing is that we're going to be going to different classrooms. This is classroom number one as so number one San Antonio you stay here. Number two will go down the hallway. Number three will go down the hallway. Number four will go down the hallway and they have signs where your room is located. So what we're going to be doing is using your ISD framework, the one that you all brought together using your data. We have a template that we're going to use your template to examine. Part one of the activity we're going to do is we're going to look at one or two strategies that can be modified to improve that will allow for the greatest benefit in reaching your district's goals. The reason we share this with you is because now you've heard somebody else's data. You know what? Let's tweak our plan. We need to improve it this way. So those are the conversations we're going to have. Discuss the process to alignment and attain the San Antonio 2020 and Diplomas goals. So the goals that we made as an individual school district are they in alignment with what the mayor wants? Are they in alignment with the different goals that we have under Diplomas and SA 2020? We're going to also discuss to include how are we going to change? What specifically do we want to do? What do you think will be the overall benefit from changing or modifying what we're going to be doing? The part two of this activity is as a whole group activity we're going to come back. What we're going to do is select a reporter that will share with your ISD's doing. I'm talking in regards to your specific plan. What is healing the best results? And how are you going to align the SA 2020 Diploma goals? And this is what they are. The Diploma goals and the SA goals and they're in your notebook. Excuse me in your handouts. So one more time real quick overall. We're going to split up. You got your facilitator. You got your school. Excuse me your classroom number. We're going to pick up our lunch on the way out. You're going to take your lunch with you to your classroom and bring it back in here. We're going to have a time keeper that around 10, 15 minutes before our activity the 90 minutes are up. We're going to come back together and I'm going to be real strict on the 15 minutes because then we have activity number two. So if you finish well, great. If you didn't that's exactly what we're going to be doing to continue those conversations. Any questions? Alright, so I think if we dismiss, you're all going to stay here for just a little bit. If we can dismiss Harlandale, y'all can grab your lunch real quick.
