 People tend to migrate in well, so we start on time and end on time. Hi, Lindsay. Welcome All right, so let me do a little agenda stroll here. Let me Switch into presentation mode So this agenda is revised just a little bit Richard can you see this document? Can you see the agenda? Yes, okay All right, so we'll do a little check in and we're gonna skip this crosswalk and we're gonna move it till it's 26 because you really haven't had a An opportunity to look at the full survey tonight, hopefully we'll finalize a draft vision a draft mission and maybe come close to Finalizing or at least moving closer to having belief value statements We'll do a little bit of work on the goal matrix. I had a good meeting today with with Lane Lane is probably not going to join us for this meeting and I'll explain more about that and then towards the end of the meeting We'll finalize materials for the school board meeting starting at 6 30. I don't know how quickly will be Called on in the board agenda, but that's the that's the plan for tonight So let's switch. Well, actually, let me go back to any questions or thoughts or issues that you might have. Hi James any any Concerns thoughts issues feedback before we jump into the agenda tonight, okay? Let me go back then and we'll take a look In the meantime, I was able to find Gifford Medical Center's vision and I'm quite sure it's caring for you for life So again, that follows kind of the regimen of being Short succinct and to the point What we're looking at here is we have three potential vision statements also looking through some some old files the agency of Ed has encouraged the Orange Southwest School district to create a separate vision statement. So we're right on track There was a question early on if we're going to merge the mission and vision together or keep them separate I think we're moving in the right direction This I believe was was David's suggestion To become a top performing school district in our region with educational excellence that inspires Intellectual curiosity creativity and achievements so that all students reach their full potential Another one that we were looking at is cultivating excellence and preparing students for the future And I think the one we might have been leaning towards last time as a path for all to learn think grow and achieve Maybe that was even that was Richards so what are your what are your thoughts here on Possible vision statements We can do some word smithing or we can be leaning towards a particular one And again, I can't see you so maybe Lisa you can be my eyes here As far as calling on folks Sure. I'm happy to do that So if people Want to weigh in with just this many people in the grid and the document. It's hard for me to see everybody So you can unmute Um Or are we just doing a straight-up thumb vote at this point? Well, I We can have a conversation and then do a thumb vote. So I don't know if you want to do some editing first Or if someone has another vision for us to consider Yeah So does anyone have feedback on these three statements any wordsmithing you might want to do or Thoughts about how we might shift the language in one I was just gonna kind of give some support for the third one That I think it actually been kind of a combination of three or four that we had come up with the last time And we were talking about how it was kind of short and sweet and the mission can kind of get a little bit more Wordy, so I think that was kind of a nice collection of everybody's thoughts from last time Okay, thank you. That was Lindsay Intend thanks. Thanks Lindsay. So were we kind of leaning towards this? Let's take let's take one more and See if we still feel the same And again, this will go forward as a draft to the board. It'll go as a draft of the administrative team They may choose to have some feedback about it, but at least for tonight. This will be our best best thinking Other thoughts or issues before Lisa takes that vote. All right, Lisa take it away. All right, I I can't actually See everyone in the grid right now So it's really challenging I wonder if for the vote If you could stop sharing your screen, I don't know Wynton. I'm just seeing eight people right now. Okay, maybe I would just something on mine Yeah It's time. We do have some visitors tonight Happy to have you folks if you could turn off your video so that we can Do our vote with the only design team members that would be greatly appreciated Mm-hmm Yeah, and I'm I'm still seeing only eight people We could go in the chat or like put a yes or no or something like that. It works too. Perfect Okay, so people too if that would be helpful, I'm not sure how many we have for the design team meeting But I think I can see everybody. Oh Okay, if you can see everyone I've been messing I have 11 of us 12 now. I can see that James beautiful life So if you want to count them up Lindsay because I'm still regardless of what I do only seeing eight Happy to okay great So anyone who would like for our draft OSSD vision statement to be The vision of OSSD schools is to become a top-performing district in our region with educational excellence that inspires intellectual curiosity Curiosity creativity and achievements so that all students reach their full potential. Please use your thumb to vote I'm seeing to Okay All right Next anyone who would like to vote for cultivating excellence and preparing students for the future Please vote by raising your thumb Don't believe I'm seeing any Okay and then finally anyone who would like To Vote for a path for all to learn think grow and achieve. Please vote by raising your thumb I'm getting 10. Okay. The math works out. All right. We got it. Congratulations Thank you, let's move on to mission statement Remember the the vision was the aspirations for the future the mission is What we do the core of the business and from it come the objectives and finally what it takes to reach those objectives It also shapes the organization's culture. I remember these are our four Theme areas for the plan this is the this is the current mission statement and Anne shared with us last time that this this piece even though it might look a little clunky is actually a key component of The policy governance focus that the board operates under So the current mission is students have the knowledge skills and tools to be prepared for the next stage of their lives Which justify the resources invested by the community? I shared with you that this is the Randolph Tech Center mission and The samples we were looking at last time. We had a couple of them Students are deeply invested in learning and skillful educators help them develop their unique talents and passions to become successful adults and citizens Or the district is a community that empowers students of all backgrounds to discover and pursue their unique passions Build diverse relationships and develop their skills for meaningful futures So we're really considering three And I think what I'm going to do is I'm just going to move the tech center one to a different spot So you can kind of see them all together And maybe you can't let me just do this Now maybe we can see them. Oh, no, I'm still not on the same page Although so No, it keeps going to different pages. So this is the current one This is the first sample and this is the second sample What what kind of conversations would you like to have tonight advocacy for a particular one Or against the particular one What are you thinking? Winton I like the current one, but but I like how Sample one has become successful adults and citizens maybe instead of just going to the next stage of their lives But that's just my two cents Oh, oh, okay um Say that again David, I was I'm looking at two different things here. So you want me to pull something out of sample one I I like most of they are the current mission statement except when it says to go next stage of their lives What what I like better instead of that is how sample one says Become successful adults and citizens. I feel like getting word citizens in there gets towards one of the themes of you know, just teaching them around democracy and process contributing to their community and okay I don't other folks feel about that We had talked last time about how we didn't love the ending of this current one So I wonder if I can kind of go if we had the part that David just added in I like for sample two how it talks about students of all backgrounds since we're just working so hard on our equity work So I wonder if like that can just be kind of how the first one starts that students of all backgrounds Have the knowledge skills and tools I like that too Yeah, then I would I would honestly just delete the which justifies the resources invested by the community personally I just I feel like that part's a little to me, but okay I like in sample two the diverse relationships are not necessarily even diverse but just the idea of relationships And you know, we've that again that's sort of a theme we're talking a lot about is their ability to build healthy relationships Communicate while all those things so I am not a hundred percent sure how we're into that yet But I'm just wondering if we can create maybe some garbage around that I know that and try to explain last time Why we have to have that which justify the resources invested by the community, but rtcc Doesn't reference the amount of money the community spending And their policy governance also so Oh Either we don't either one of them's wrong or It was just an idea That had its time that no longer does okay Well, the worst that can happen is the board will say we want it back in and they have the ultimate tower here All right, well, let's see if we can craft this so it reads well Uh with the additions and deletions Students of all backgrounds will build diverse relationships and have the knowledge skills and tools to become successful adults and citizens Hmm. That's a nice little ring to it, doesn't it? What if we took sample number two? I really like that one the more I look at it and add To the end build diverse relationships and develop their skills for meaningful futures as successful adults and citizens All right, where do you want me to copy right from here? Yeah, I think if you just remove the period and then put as successful adults and citizens That would complete that and then I would just wonder about Putting something that speaks more deeply to academics in that statement I don't know. All right, Lisa. Are you saying pull something out of two and put it up here No, I'm saying add something to the end of two. Oh, I got it. Okay So put that last Section so as successful adults and citizens right there on the end No, I would take out the and become and just put the word as Oh, I got it. I see what you're saying now And then I think that one would need something that speaks more deeply to academics Number two does Yes Okay, all right What are some other thoughts that people have? I actually like that as Lisa has amended it with no further amendments I think it actually contains that spirit within already developing skills. I think covers that Um We're talking about them being students and empowering them as students. I I personally I think that's fine as it is Number two As it looks now. Yeah, okay All right, if you look Sorry, I also like how that one starts with the osd as a community as opposed to just making a statement about students Yeah, okay I was just going to say if you look at the current strategic plan themes that come up foundational knowledge is one that ties in with the academics and then there's also personal development skills That I feel like isn't really In that mission statement that maybe you could be outed somehow Okay, you got some ideas Why don't I do this? Why don't I just bring these down? So we have them directly Aside the mission statement that we're crafting Okay Looking for looking for suggestions here I don't know if this will make things too wordy, but I wonder can we just add in like and develop their Knowledge tools and skills for meaningful futures as successful adults and citizens Mm-hmm. What do folks feel about that? The only thing I don't like about this is that discover and pursue their unique passions I just think that's a little bit of a distraction It certainly sounds nice, but I guess I don't see that as a primary rule of the school to Tell my kids what you know how to find their passions. I don't know just feels a little bit out there I'd rather see foundational knowledge personal development of skills I like I like I like that hard more concrete skillset tools and knowledge that language personally Okay I will say that we heard quite a bit in the forums about students being self-directed learners and also more exposure to career opportunities and Individual passions, so I I did hear that a fair amount Again, totally up to the design team. It's the how we want to handle it or not What if we were passionate? All right Purpose or career pathway. I think something like that would align better with what we've been hearing Okay Yeah, I I feel like purpose. I don't know Flows better. Um, just because their pathways can be so different. It can be immediately a career pathway Or it can lead to seven years of college Are you saying take out career or leave it in? I'm leaning stylistically toward that, but I've got an English teacher brain, so Okay I agree with that. I think you know to assume again that like a freshman's already on a career path or that You know, especially if this is potentially pertaining even to middle school I don't know career seems a little maybe early, but I like the purpose idea as well. I think that works Can I speak up briefly in defense of the word passion? Um, just in that I feel like Now as we have it with purpose instead of passion It kind of feels like we are just directing them Outwardly and we're not leaving any room for the student or the person as they are to have any say in their own future Um, and passion can mean many things. It doesn't necessarily have to mean something that's a hobby It can actually mean a career or um, this This I don't know the unique purpose makes it sound like we're creating cogs in a machine rather than helping craft healthy functional adults, so I I actually really liked passion and I don't think it's too out there myself Okay, other thoughts I think that's actually addressed with the meaningful futures one Um, things being meaningful is very important and people being passionate is very important. Um, But I also think No one has anything unless they have purpose and it's sometimes it's very hard for kids to figure out their purpose Okay I love the dialogue. It's it's it's great um other thoughts either in support of what we have or Alternate thinking a unique life course unique. We talked about pathway What are some other options if see if we can come to some consensus here So this is just a draft that we're moving forward, correct? Yeah, I feel like this is a pretty good draft I don't know what other people are thinking Can I make one quick suggestion just to try to get passion back in there for richard? um Could we put passion right before the word meaningful futures to try to connect the two in some way I guess I just didn't want to see too much Focus on passions of of hobbies like like he said, I totally agree passion is important It's important if you can tie it to a meaningful future and um, I don't know if that's the right spot for it, but okay How about how about further up went in and pursued their unique passions For meaningful futures. I don't know. I'm a word smithing. So just an idea So, um, I'm not seeing where you where you're suggesting here How about your passions towards the meaningful futures? What if we do you put unique passions? back where it was and then develop their knowledge tools and skills for purposeful futures as successful adults Okay, yeah, so for purposeful futures Okay, what do people think about that? Passion needs an s on the end and we need four before purposeful All right Any consensus here? Haley you're muted if you're talking to us. I'm sorry. Oh, I'm trying to read. I have to read it out Okay Are we at a point where we're ready to vote? Did we accomplish Either directly or indirectly embedding our our themes within this within this mission So I know that that knowledge tools and skills Has been around for a while, but I've always wondered what tools and skills it is that we are developing in our students Um, that that are so necessary for their Their life that I'm just wondering if those are the right words if they even need to be there It seems like we're sending them all to trade school Just my feeling I can't answer that before this process But as part of the process we've been going through I was thinking of skills as the life skills that we've been talking about But but I hear what you're saying about it could be viewed that that way Well, and we heard a lot about socio-emotional skills. We heard about executive functioning skills So I think that skills could encompass lots of different domains And when I'm in strategies that all fits in with that to me not just I Okay, go ahead Gus if you would repeat that I think well, I would Communication skills tools strategies all of those knowledge tools and skills to me represents a huge range of things Not just, you know, the nuts and bolts of jobs Yeah, when I read that section, I think about transferable skills and our habits of work heart and mind Um, which are communication skills and time management skills and Having tools to cope with challenging situations. So I think of it beyond Um, the really specific Um purpose that you mentioned David. So I hear that um And I see how it could be perceived that way and maybe I've been too immersed in education to see beyond that But that's what I I think of is like the transferable skills So so I was thinking of it too narrowly But then when I think of it when you define it that way then tools and skills become redundant I think it should be knowledge and skills Unless someone can say how tools and skills Sell differently in this scenario of everything we've been doing They feel like they're all all those things are being lumped into one thing and why not pick one Yeah, I'm happy with cutting tools Me too yep Good good good idea I don't know if this is again getting too picky, but I'm wondering if part of what we're looking at is I like how in the very first one we're working on the knowledge Kind of came before the build diverse relationship So I'm almost wondering if like backgrounds to discover and pursue their unique passions for knowledge and build I don't know if we even need skills. I guess and build diverse relationships for futures of successful adults and citizens But I just don't know about if maybe moving knowledge kind of up there makes sense But maybe that's getting too picky What do you think folks I had the same thought earlier I thought the knowledge thing should come first, but I didn't know how to word that I don't want to lose skills though I like I like having that in there because of all the thoughts around life skills and Many skills Could you do build skills and diverse relationships? Yeah Adults and citizens I wondered if it was like a comma after passions. So unique passions knowledge skills Build diverse relationships and okay So you're saying pulling it out of here, right? Now what you're saying Yeah, something around there, but might need to play with the wording the one the one thing that I wonder about moving that knowledge up to passions is Is Is there some knowledge like A foundational knowledge that we want students to have because right now it's unique passions for knowledge But does that really We want to be able to measure in the end. So what knowledge You know is what is the content of that knowledge or is it just whatever they happen to be passionate for Do you follow what I'm saying? Yeah I feel like by moving that those words for knowledge after the word passions. We've now kind of totally changed what that means Um, so now we're saying you students have to be passionate about knowing things We're not we're not celebrating your What you're uniquely interested in whether that was a pursuit of knowledge or a pursuit of a skill or a pursuit of something else entirely um, so Yeah, I I feel like what we just did right up until the point where we just took out tools I feel like we've now totally changed the message of the whole thing. Um just my My toughening is worth No, and I sort of agree and I was on the saying it that's not kind of the way I was wording it because you're right I don't want to attach those two I was just looking at like more having it up where it was sort of read as part of a Key component, but I I agree with you. I don't think making them the same as that wasn't what I was looking at And maybe leaving it where it was was totally fine But we miss here Maybe comma after passions. So it's its own thing Yeah, maybe start with that Get a bridge statement, and I don't think this is the right one I wonder if you just hit undo at the top and just bring it back to where it was before we Yeah, because diverse relationships is clunky down there at the bottom Yeah, um, I agree I No, it's good. I I think it was good to play with it because I was wondering about that myself Okay, I agree. I see what you're trying to do put knowledge as a as a more important thing But how to get that in in that way is that's that's difficult Our folks feeling now is it Getting a we're getting centered in this one I see a lot of head nods All right, at least you want to you want to activate the the voting process Sure, and Lindsay, will you please count again? Yes Thank you. So we're you're gonna vote on Three options, but which you only get one one vote Yep And and I can't see your screen. So I don't know if you want to turn your camera on if you're there So I can see your vote So the first vote, um, please raise your thumb if you would Like to support maintaining the current ossd mission statement I'm not seeing any Okay Sample number one the ossd students are deeply invested in learning and skillful educators help them develop Their unique talents and passions to become successful adults and citizens Please raise your thumb if you vote for sample number one I'm also not seeing any All right Example number two the ossd is a community that empowers students of all backgrounds to discover and pursue Their unique passions build diverse relationships and develop their knowledge and skills for purposeful futures as successful adults and citizens That looks like everybody Is that 11? 13 You have an unanimous vote Excellent excellent excellent. That's a pretty good mission statement folks. It's good work All right Let's see how successful we are with belief statements um And I I also remember a couple of meetings ago I posed whether or not we should do belief statements as I looked at this agency of ed uh report It's called the continuous improvement uh Report that the agency did on behalf of orange southwest. Not only did they say do a vision, but they also said uh Also said to do values or belief statements. So We were on we were on the right track So we have a lot of them here. I didn't do much word smithing. I don't think after our meeting Uh, we're looking at three six nine 12 13 Nine or ten would be pretty good and we've had of two or three different equity ones So I think probably makes sense. Let's just work through so that we can see them all And then we'll do some word smithing and see if we can Reduce a few to maybe the nine or ten range So the first one all students are continually challenged academically and encouraged to reach The next level of proficiency The second one equity means that every student has different needs And their needs should be met no matter where they are from or which school they attend And I remember last time We talked about ensure a culture of inclusion So if we come back and word smith this or or different one We'll make sure that we That we're doing that I'm going to switch these to numbers So that we well, let's just go Yeah, I guess we'll do letters Um See all children have access to the education resources and rigor They need regardless of race gender ethnicity language disability all of the of those components And or family income D is students are immersed in school culture that is respectful and supports diverse opinions Equity is the degree of achievement fairness and opportunity in education as measured by a standard of success Students and staff are invaluable to the community All students and staff deserve a learning environment that fosters physical and emotional health Environmental stewardship is a responsibility for all The delivery of education resources should be student focused to maintain a culture where every student can achieve Students are most successful when there is mutual respect and active collaboration between students teachers parents in the community Educators and parents together inspire students to confidently advocate for And design growth experiences that help them define who they are and where they're headed as adults Students should learn transferable skills that enable them to become Creative and resilient thinkers to sustain their own sense of purpose and life path and to balance academic and social emotional growth Didn't we take out should in all of these I think we should Say that again lisa. I think we should if we haven't Okay, I think it's much cleaner if it says students learn transferable skills. It just seems much more focused Yeah, as a as a value Yeah Otherwise it looks more like a goal Uh On this one went and where it says resilient thinkers It makes me think of growth mindset too and I'm not quite a bit if we could work that particular term in it seems popular with some teachers I think Yeah, and there's quite a bit of research around it Where you're thinking that would go here Yeah Okay And then the last one also all staffed is our deep investments in training professional development and support Is there a place in one of these we can add the um career pathway Feedback that we got during the process. Oh, yeah, good point or maybe not career pathway, but personal I forget what it was called personal learning personal learning plans or career exposure That might fit in k right there Okay, oh here's growth experiences What do you think? Let's see I wonder if after growth Experiences if we're going to use the personal learning plan language that we would say educators and parents Together inspire students to confidently advocate for and design growth experiences And personal learning plans that help them define who they are and where they are headed as adults Other support for that. Well, we might have we just as well work backwards of With the intent of we want to take out any redundancy And it would be good to have three or four less Should we maybe put the equity ones all next to each other so we can see them maybe and combine those. Yeah So this is one equity I feel like they were all equity really up to e right. I mean in different ways Yeah Oops Yeah, because we really only need one equity one I would think I really like d because I feel like it spells it all out really succinctly D like dog or be like boy Dia's and david or dog Okay, yeah So lisa has expressed um preference for d over b and c What do other people think I I agree. I like d better than b or c. I think b and c can be deleted, but I agree also All right, lisa you want to take a thumb vote here? Okay, we're looking at these three Where they preference leaning towards d like david I I wonder if we can do if our vote can be on what david white just suggested which is um, please raise your thumb If you're in favor of deleting letters b as in boy and c as in cat I think we have everybody. Yeah, so we're all in favor of doing that. Thank you Yeah, good Good decision-making. All right well, let's Let's work down with the intent to delete maybe one or two others that might be similar. We're also needing to In insert inclusion unless we feel like Is inclusion in this one? Maybe it is I feel like it is in that one. Yeah I also feel like c is a little redundant at this point in time Okay Did we have a different one that spoke to the similar School culture and respect I think if you were to keep e Or Talks about respect and we've got mutual respect in h as well Okay, so we're looking to possibly eliminate c Just take a thumb vote lisa Okay, all in favor of eliminating c Lindsay's counting Okay, I think I have seven eight nine. Sorry people are putting it back up nine total. Thank you. Okay. We got it. Thank you All right Well, we might be in pretty good shape here. Let's Let's work through each of them then and finalize our list of values or We'll call them beliefs Under a all students are continually challenged academically and encouraged to reach the next level of proficiency This one seems to speak to the proficiency based learning as well as academic challenge You're feeling like that one stands by itself And needs no initial work All right, if so give it a give a thumbs up to lisa. We'll move on to the next Okay, I think All the thumbs that I can see we're up. Um I don't know if we have have a yeah, I think everybody but two so it would be um 11 Thank you All right We already chose b Yeah Let's before we go any further Are we thinking that a majority vote moves it or are we thinking a? Supermajority and two-thirds vote And if so, we think we have Eight votes will move us Nine votes will move us I think majority moves us unless there's a strong Counter argument from someone who does not wish who has a better idea Okay, all right Let's go to c students and staff are invaluable to the community I might be oversimplifying Um, but I think that d covers that I think that if you're treated as an invaluable resource Then you're working in an environment that fosters physical and emotional health, but I I can sometimes be a little too Quick to Delete things that I think are redundant All right I was going to say they could easily be combined I think if if people felt strongly about c I think you could put the word invaluable into d pretty easily if you wanted I have a problem with the word deserve. It'll come up again later. Um, I think the deserve requires an action Something that the actor has done to Get this thing. I think that if that they require it Or need it, but I don't necessarily think they deserve it just because they're alive Replacing it with experience thoughts response feedback Just feels like maybe we need to word it if this is a belief statement, maybe we believe It is important that all students and staff Experience a learning environment. I don't know Feels a little weird Yeah, I like that. I like saying it's important that all Then but then we have to say that in front of all of them. Oh true They're all belief statements that I think that that's assumed All the more belief statements Just a thought here. Maybe I'm overthinking this but um, we're talking about students and staff and of course I'm never going to suggest that we are staff or not learning as well But how about a learning and working environment because after all it is our working environment in other words You're carrying forward the students and staff to learning and working feedback thoughts issues We ready to vote It doesn't read right. Um, are invaluable at experience a learning and working environment I mean, it looks like it needs something like and should experience or I mean you could say like has access to or something because experience just sounds kind of awkward. Yeah Ready to vote now It should be have access Okay, yeah, all right. So everyone who supports d um and the deletion of See and so we'll delete c and accept d as our single statement. Please raise your thumb 11 Good work Next one the new d environmental stewardship is a responsibility for all Any any discussion of that one before we vote? The only one that specifically addresses um the environment I'd like it. I think it could be lower on the list if these are in priority, but I'm not sure we're really ordering them in any way so Yeah Yeah, so are we voting to keep this or just moving forward Okay, let's let's continue with the votes because I think it's important. Yep, we'll vote If you want to keep environmental stewardship as a responsibility for all, please raise your thumb Man 13 perfect good The new e delivery of education resources should be student focused to maintain a culture where every student can achieve How is that different than b? Yeah, that's what Uh-huh Or a for that matter Okay Well of the three Do you want me to move this up? Near a so you can compare or use like this one the least and we'll vote to delete it Yeah, I would move to deleting All right other thoughts It sounds like covered by g Okay All right, Lisa take it away All right. Um, if you Would like or are in favor of omitting Um e the delivery of education resources should be student focused to maintain a culture where every student can succeed Please raise your thumb Sorry 13 Okay Students are most successful when there was mutual respect and active collaboration Between students teachers parents in the community I feel like it's it's redundant with f And I like f better. I don't know what other people think I like um e because it's so Sort of multi-directional because the f kind of suggests that only the educators and the parents inspire the students when I would argue that The students often inspire each other and inspire us and it's very much more Complex than the start of that suggests Yep, I see that as you're saying Yeah, I'm hoping e speaks more to a student reading this And I'm hoping f speaks more to a parent because I think sometimes we need more parents Uh engagement so I I like I'm okay keeping both. I like f so much. I think it should be the first one My comment on f though would just to be I mean while while I agree that you know, it's a really a community I think that we need to be careful with the word parents um because We have many students in our community who don't have parents or who are living with their guardians or who and I know that It's a general term, but I that's why I prefer e because it just seems more focused again as as someone said on like the whole person rather than um, and so maybe some combination of e and f of like because f has the The where they're heading sort of piece. Um, but I would say that I would prefer e than f So he has parents too. So could is there a term like families? Is that better? Families Yeah, replace families here with parents parents with families. Yep Families is how we address letters home from the elementary school for exactly that reason. Yep Yep, thank you I'm going to advocate for keeping f because it it embeds the personal learning plans and it also has The growth experiences So there's a couple of things that work pretty well together. What about this parent? Should this be families? Yes Yeah, I would advocate for a small um Revaluation of other things that we're putting out and maybe now that that's been brought up We should we should see where else we have put parents and whether it should be replaced with families and other documents and other places Okay Agreed I can do a fine and replace later on with that Okay So it sounds like we're keeping e and f Yep Based on the head nods. I'd say so All right. Is that is that an adequate vote? We can vote. So we're keeping both e and f. Please raise your thumb Yep, we have all 13 Okay And we've got two to go Students learn transferable skills and a growth mindset That enables them to become creative and resilient thinkers To sustain their own sense of purpose and life path and a balanced academic and social emotional growth any I think it fits really well with our mission statement Yeah A question for you. We say growth mindset here and growth experiences here. Is that okay? I think so, especially if we move f right to the top Okay Oh, well All right, so I would say that those are growth experience and the growth mindset are two different things. Yes I also wonder Learn transferable skills and a growth mindset. I feel like you can't really learn a growth mindset so much as developed one All right, so you want to replace learn with develop? Uh, no, I think learn transferable skills and develop a growth mindset Right. So we move that a and put the word develop Maybe we all like it there explicitly, but I would argue that That growth mindset is one of the transferable skills that they have learned that they should learn Oh, okay. I think it I just think it's included. It's yeah So what you're saying is take this right out. Well, I am but other people might object and that's okay So is are these so the goals link up to these values, right? I'm just thinking Our current habits which are our transferable skills Don't assess a growth mindset per se. I mean, I think we see that Um Any yeah, so we might need to do some work on that but Well, I like what david said here about you learn skills, but you develop the mindset and richard Point that these two growth. They're different kinds of context here I would argue that developing a growth mindset enables you to learn transferable skills more readily It's more all-encompassing thing. It's not really something that you would assess or measure But something you would kind of constantly be on the lookout for I mean, we've all seen those kids who we know Have who have not developed it and we see what happens when they face something challenging. It's just it's all pervasive all day Are you are you? implying to reverse the Put the growth mindset first then learn transferable skills second No, I'm happy with it as it is I just think there is a purpose to separating out growth mindset as a thing because it is it it just permeates everything Okay Well, are are you all feeling okay with how this one's word? G. All right, lisa. Are we ready to vote on g? Um, all in favor of keeping g as it's currently written. Please raise your thumb 13 Perfect. Thank you. Got it. And the last one All staff deserve deep investments in training professional development and support Um, so this is the other deserve I would argue that it should read something like students require staff that have access to training professional Is that what you're thinking david? Yes. Have access to I was gonna say yeah access to and not Um, not lose the deep investments if we do that, but that could go either way Have access to or have acquired Access to access to this would be their ongoing I read that it's their ongoing investment by the school district in their in staff training And so not that they come already pre trained with everything right Okay Right, where are we? Yes david. I was just gonna say this feels like it's related to letter c If we if we want to have less overall belief statements, it could be combined. I'm not saying we should delete anything But it was just just a thought Okay So c was uh Environment that fosters physical and emotional health Access to learning and working environment. Okay Maybe it is two separate things. I don't know I'll be categorized at the end meaning But they might like the ones that I don't know Link to staff for example might be put together or Yeah, I just didn't know if that was the if it would take that structure. Um When it's all done, but I'm happy to do it Well, then we'll need to create categories Um Well, no, I I was just gonna put them kind of side by side. Yeah So do we want to vote on keeping h as is As it is now All right, thumbs up if you support h As it's written 13 Great. Okay, good Now is it f that you wanted to uh david white do you want to advocate moving f up to number one? Yes Okay, others feel the same Okay Any other mergers and acquisitions here? This is very good work. This is tough. This is tough work You you all did this really well um, all right We are moving on to the last piece This one, uh We're not going to be doing a lot of word smithing. I just want to um Give you an idea of Kind of how this may go um I'm identifying some roles here with boards role in red Superintendents role in green and others role in black So that we're being specific here From the one I set out to you in my conversation with lane Uh We deleted the one-to-one computers because I'm hearing that you already have that um So this one and again, it's the the mechanics of this you've got a list of goals Whoops You've got action steps sometimes more than one that relate to a given goal You've got a measurement or a metric You've got a timeline and then you've got who's responsible for either monitoring progress or actually making it happen uh So the boards role in this one Would be to update board ends and executive limitations policies to be able to address this goal about learning resources and materials That would be the board's strategic role the superintendents Operational role would be to implement administrator procedures that address each of these issues And one of the conversations the conversation I would lane today of and that work is already underway here to continue vertical and horizontal uh curriculum articulation I probably going to change that To make that a bit more user friendly, so it's not education jargon But what that really means is making sure there's a scope and sequence make sure there's a continuum From grade level to grade level and So that's really a curriculum focus In that same vein under school culture and climate Closing gaps for academic learning the Action step would be to continue disaggregate to disaggregate Data for social emotional learning racial justice poverty. There may be some others And the metric would be to align staff professional development programs to meet the goal And this would be a superintendents operational level Uh continue the district wide equity plan Development and again, that's a professional development component We heard quite a bit in the forums and the survey around school culture and climate So the action step might be to conduct student teacher parent voice and aspiration survey And a suggestion Winton Yeah As I looked over the data and other people who are here. They can can correct me I guess my concern is that we've lost a little bit of like the flavor of the equity work It says continue district wide equity plan But it no longer references Um Like I think when I was at the student forums anyway, I was hearing about Work with equity that that students were doing not necessarily like all students But I think that students having access to that kind of work. So We have a student on here. I don't know It just feels like that has shifted a little bit in the drafts. Oh Learning racial justice poverty that's there, but it's still very adult focused. I think um So I don't know what other people are thinking But that's just something that it feels like as we've gone through the drafts has shifted. Okay Wilder, do you want to weigh in on this? Sorry to put you on the spot I'm sorry. Can you repeat what it? So it felt like in some of the feedback we were getting or the feedback we were getting there was a focus on equity and developing You know continued work on equity And then when we got into this document Um, it was focused on more like professional development for staff around equity And I felt like I was hearing from the student voices That there was a need for continued work among students on equity um So that's where I just wanted to make sure that we didn't Pull a whole bunch of students get some data and then craft goals that Didn't honor the feedback that they gave us Yeah, I agree Okay Beautiful What does what does disaggregate data mean? It mean okay that good point that what that means is looking at um A pile of data and disaggregating for poverty disaggregating for Racism disaggregating for ethnicity in other words looking at particular cohorts of students and analyzing How what kind of success they're having and it goes back here to closing gaps for academic learning if we look at students who live in poverty Disadvantaged financial disadvantaged households the student data many times they're big lags between students that Do really well might be an affluent families and students who live in poverty don't do well and the sign of a effective school district is all students are making academic gains because we're paying attention to all of the The different disaggregated data sorts. So that's a long-winded answer But that's that's what that means Okay, thank you. And it's part of an overall strategy because it seems like there's curriculum content above this and training below this so it's really Three or four different things going at trying to improve the diversity situation at the school Am I reading that reading the overall plan correctly? Yeah Okay on the one right above it. Can we add gender? uh Right here For the reps if you scroll up. Oh, yeah in the curriculum No, even further up in the curriculum. It just felt like Yeah in that listing Okay Yeah Yeah, and this is another cohort that would be disaggregated. Okay. Thank you. Yeah Thank you for catching that Yeah, and thanks for asking that question David so when Curriculum wise the state is also requiring that all schools adopt an equity curriculum In sort of the social studies Curriculum itself and is that not correct Lisa? Yeah, so there they have a work group happening right now and they're developing those standards. Um, I always get bogged down in exactly what they're called. Um But you're they're working on developing it We have members of our school community who are involved with those efforts So it's one of those things that is in progress So we're moving in that direction and so far through our Emily Sarian's Roland Fellowship where she's focusing on democratic engagement standards and The work that's happening through the racial justice pbl I think we're in a good place in relationship to those But that is definitely work that the state is is engaging in Say that what what is what's your role in fellow measure racial justice standards? Um, the they're actually called democratic engagement standards. They come um From teaching tolerance initially, which has now changed their name to teach learning for justice But she's done a lot of work with them and they encompass a lot of history and civics That they are aimed at getting people more engaged and involved and amplifying marginalized voices Okay, yeah What I added here, I think the state's focus is equity inclusion and racial justice uh curriculum, but that may not be Exactly right, but I know um The other district i'm working with right now has a has a committee That is working directly with the state on these three areas and they're developing a policy a school-wide policy around that so not only embedding in the curriculum, but Making adaptations to their their their current policy. Yeah, and their Social equity standards, I'm sorry. I had to google them again Say that again measure what social equity? They are social um ethnic and social equity standards So ethnic and social equity standards are this is the state title You said you left engagement in did I get that right lisa? programs to meet little survey students on their view of equity measure social And ethnic engagement standards Yeah, okay Good feedback folks Let me just share with you um I've worked with this person that originated uh russ qualia from the qualia institute Used to be out of university at main at orno. It's now I think out of endicott college But not only do they have Surveys on student voice They also have teacher voice and parent voice um So I've shared that with lane that may or may not work for you. I know that lane said he has a self-developed student voice survey So either way making sure that we are We are paying attention to student voice is critically important in this process And so that's just that's one of the four and it's probably All we have time for tonight because I've got to Turn this around and get it ready for the board meeting in about 15 minutes so What I think I'm going to do is ask you to take a look at these others and Make side edits you see up here in the edit mode Just to make a suggestion Uh, I prefer not to make an edit for now Just make a suggestion and I will consider all those suggestions and continue to develop here Because my knowledge is limited only from what I've heard in Surveys and in the feedback forums same with foundational knowledge and the same with personal development And so if you do that over the next we actually you got a week off for good behavior You've been doing such good work that we're not going to meet next week. I know you're going to be sad But you'll be able to get over it So in the next agenda if you would go through and make those side suggestions in the goal matrix and also As soon as I can get the tech department to give you the same survey observation that I shared with you Go through and give me It'd be great to have 10 observations, but if you can only do five so be it Send those to me We'll talk about that in the in the next agenda on the again on the 26th of April And also what I talked to Lane about all schools in the state And you've heard me say this before Are developing the covet recovery plan And submitting that to the state Lane's continuing to feed me Kind of the development as he works that through with the administrative cabinet It may take a another meeting In may for us to make those alignments But I want to make sure that when the strategic plan Goes to the board. I think on may 10th that we also have that aligned with The covet recovery plan if the covet recovery plan takes more time then we may have to push that To the june meeting So I guess what I'm saying is I need a little bit of flexibility depending on how the evolution of both of those emerge And with that, I'll just I'll stop talking and see if you have anything else To share tonight any questions any feedback Any thoughts or issues before we wrap up and I'd also encourage you to Sit in on the on the board meeting tonight at 6 30 Any any other thoughts or issues? For the good of the committee And the betterment of the world Thank you All right, we're good to go. All right. Thanks a lot gang. Good work tonight
