 While you guys were out doing the the gallery walk we placed some surveys just a short survey for you there that we'd like For you to look at and complete you can give that to me or to Judy or to Jean or if you want Leave it at the edge of the tables so that we can pick it up And ask that you just give us your honest opinion on on those questions This is an opportunity for us to review that and then you know for me to then follow up with you One thing I would add to that that is not on there is if you saw a partner out there during the gallery walk that you Believe is one that would be beneficial in helping you you know advance You know an initiative that you're currently working on put put their name on there that way I can kind of start looking at those kind of things So just add that and you can put that in the comment section if you'd like Okay But if you forgot to do that just add it to the evaluation What I'd like to do now, I guess is if we're ready is bring up Is I want to bring out my Elizabeth backup Alma from educate Texas and Elizabeth from TG Good morning everyone. Thanks again for being here. What a great opportunity. I can see some smiling faces There was a little When I used to be a kindergarten teacher the students would tell me that they were bright-eyed and bushy-tailed I never understood that I saw a lot of bright eyes today. So that's all I'm going to say about that But yeah, right, I didn't bushy-tail I never well anyway, but we all have bright eyes today Thank you so much. I don't see too many new faces per se in the audience But just as a reminder my name is Alma Garcia. I'm a program officer for educate Texas and this morning We have Elizabeth Stanley also from TG from Texas Grant That's going to be a leading off this part or this section of the of the presentation today And let me tell you a little bit about what we're going to do this morning You know yesterday we talked a little bit about a little bit about a lot You know the good thing about it is at the beginning. It was very very broad Then we had some conversations that started kind of bringing it together So today we're really going to go a little bit deeper into the work that we're doing But I wanted to share a couple of things with you and like I said, we do have some new members in our audience today And it's kind of recapping a little bit about what we did yesterday So if you could look up here real quickly, we talked about San Antonio 2020 goals We talked about this ambitious opportunity down for the we have a champion of this work Mayor Castro's bringing together a lot of partners people of Influence people of authority to really start talking to practitioners that are in our school communities to start talking about How do we make sure that as part of the goals that 50% of the adults in San Antonio have a two to four-year degree? 80% of the high school graduates enroll in the two four-year technical college and the last one eighty percent eighty five percent of students Demonstrates some college readiness Yesterday is part of this discussion. We started talking again. What does college ready mean? How do you build a culture? How do you flip the culture of a campus? Who are the people are going to help us do this and mostly we also talked about Resources we talked about challenges and obstacles and how some of you are already addressing that Then we have the Diplomas project Unite 16 cross-sector partners to integrate existing programs And I think the magic word is partnerships and the last word here is systemic approach when you have a systemic approach That means that you're not trying to fix or fix or improve a small section of education You're really trying to transform the way we think the transform the way we do things To make sure that systemically we're making a change in our school community a Very ambitious goal of 9% increase in college completion by Latinos in 2015 in support of the 2020 goals I'd like to point this word out Latinos We're really focusing in on a special population of students that are Latino Hispanic background The numbers the data everything indicates that we have to be very deliberate We have to be very focused in making sure that the Latino Hispanic population in our school communities are being targeted Again in alignment with the goals number one that we graduate them college ready number two that we have access opportunities and Persistence while they're in the two four-year or technical college and then the last one of course is complete And yesterday just as part of our conversation. It's not about just completing a degree, but it's completing a degree that has value How many of you have read in the newspaper and our articles magazines heard it on TV that right now? There's a certain amount of graduates that have a degree, but they can't find a job So again, it's more about the alignment of the work that we do in our school communities to make sure that we are Advising informing our students their parents anyone that can that can really give good advice and recommendations That they understand the job value and also the job market that's out there so they can align their career pathways So let's review real quickly and this will kind of bring us up to speed in order for us to get to the future We have to talk about what we've done in the past and let's talk about immediate past We had Sonya Rodriguez the Trituring County Board member with a message that's going to a spot inspire our work Encourages that we embrace look at that word collective attitude towards meeting these goals We had Jorge Lizondo again on the private side He's the VP for customer insights at HEB saying that data is going to play a very important work in the pathway through logical steps What drives our collective action plan the numbers the data? And you know what data is what it is? Depends on where you get it depends who's telling it We've learned through our collective work that the data is what it is. However, there are trust Sources that we can trust Sources that have that common language that we use and again, we are going to start thinking collectively How are we going to be using that data? We had Superintendents or their designees from the four superintendent School districts that are represented here today north side south west Harlandale and San Antonio and we had a share out You talked about your data You established an argument that each of you understand your data and in order to Achieve or to design clear measurable goals You had to identify areas of challenge and then again to start talking about that momentum to build on it None of you are here today saying today. We're going to start from the beginning on the contrary You're saying you know what I just found out that that school districts way ahead in some areas But then again, there's a lot of opportunities for sharing and for learning We had Greg come up here several times today And not only talk about what's happening in Texas because I think Greg's also Validating the work that we're doing, but he's also shared stories where he's traveled to different states He's talked to the champions of the work that we're doing So I think of anything else Greg's message to us was that he understands that San Antonio can and will be and is In the national context kind of leading a lot of this collective work that we're doing We have someone at the national level that's coming in to validate our work And right now the messaging is that if we continue to work harder deeper and together That San Antonio can serve as a national model where people will be knocking on our doors Trying to emulate trying to scale up And if anything else trying to really really go deeper By bringing not only philanthropic foundations to the work that we're doing and saying you know what We believe in what you're doing We've got a national validation. We got state validation. What is it that we can do to help you? So Greg for that we thank you for being here to kind of showcase everything that we're doing But at the same time we are hoping that we've inspired you enough for you to go back at the national level to say You know what it's not about somebody telling us we saw it in action And we have that commitment So there was a couple of activities that we did we had we did a framework activity understanding some philosophic approaches and possible intersections And again intersections means focus and intentional We used a framework template to identify strategies to modify them to improve them That will now if you notice we're coming to that end that starts talking about how are we going to have the greatest benefits From these activities that we're doing We had a team breakout We used the lumina template again to complete key areas of focus metric strategies and timelines And look we pushed you to stretch your goals in order to begin conversations around transformations You know what ladies and gentlemen you've done a lot. I just got tired telling you what y'all did yesterday But I just wanted again to show that this is not an easy process What you all have done in a day and a half usually takes weeks and weeks just of thinking I'm not telling you that what you did yesterday and today is not a kind of an accumulation Of weeks and months and of you all coming together to think about what you're doing Because you brought tools with you you brought data templates You brought your campus goals You brought together some of the reflections of what is going on in your campuses You shared not only the best practices but proven practices We also had interactive sharing and learning and the evidence is still up on the wall You all broke up into groups You talked about what are some important goals that are in in collaboration and alignment with the work that you're doing But you also started talking about strategies and guess what not only the strategies, but how are you going to measure impact And how are you going to tell everyone everyone in your school communities? This is why we stand on this and this is how we're going to measure it this morning. Jacob shared a A pamphlet with us a white paper of sorts. Well, no really It's just the outcomes of the FAFSA and some of the other information We have to develop similar publications to validate the work that we're doing Look at the word right here cross-district discussions. We broke up by roll-a-likes counselors administrators data Analysts people that do research and data collections, and we also had our curriculum and instruction folks meet together But the good thing about it is that four of you met to talk about collectively. What are we going to do together? So now the results are in All of that work that we've done There's a handout that we have that you have right before you and I wanted to show you a couple of things I wanted to tell you that if we looked around elizabeth of the night jacob and and uh, Gina we got together and we put the results of the final Accumulation of all of our collective thinking yesterday We have goals We have metrics and we have strategies and here are the votes on each Yesterday, you noticed that we did have an opportunity to start talking about can we have a goal without a strategy Can we have a strategy without a goal? How are we going to put this together? But i'll tell you one thing right now This is the beginning discussions of how we're going to be going a little bit deeper into the work that we're doing This is something that we're going to make and I and I borrowed this i'm going to borrow this from From patrick because I stole it from him, but this is la promesa This is the promise that we're going to be making each other in regards to what we're going to be working together So let's look at this real quickly These are the high votes and by the way that three goes right in here. That's why it's in your in your handout But if you notice that some of the biggest goals and I put down the goals that have the most votes And I'll show you just a little bit improve student success on ap assessment increase rigor improve college readiness by integrating and I this is the word that I misspelled that's academic I spelled it phonetically now. It's supposed to fix it right now, but I just thought I'd wake you up a little bit The academic readiness and college knowledge We've got the create post-secondary readiness student profile increased percent of students completed a coherent sequence of of cte courses And creating a college and career going culture and that got a lot of votes Increasing taking and passing the texas success initiative or any college readiness exam again. That's an important So I wanted to go back real quickly and talk to you about the results For this is what we did we put all of the goals together We put all of the strategies together We talked a little bit about the metrics and how we're going to validate and measure the importance and impact Because remember If you don't if you can't measure it or you don't have evidence of it then really it's just more fluff. We're talking about it So we're going to talk a little bit about The final cross district projects that connect the key priorities for all the districts now. We're all coming together with that promessa Right All right, so far any questions any comments About the process how we brought it together how you all this is representative of everything we talked yesterday All right, so this is where I'm going to allow Elizabeth to come up here. We warm wrestled and she's the winner to walk us through the next activity in regards to the final results Great, thank you So as we look at this slide What we did was look at the goal that scored the highest points Combined with the strategy that scored the highest points You'll find that as you disaggregate all that there are certain strategies and a particular goal that had the highest points of all Not necessarily all connected And so when you look at the highest scored goal and the highest scored strategy You have what we show here improve student success on ap assessment with the strategy being to improve the analytical and writing through teacher training vertical alignment Appropriate student expectations. I would imagine practice etc And also the question of rigor and so with this training More professional development implementation of pre ap and middle and high schools And so I think that you could look at these individually or you can kind of blend them It's going to be up to you because what we're going to do in just a short while Is have you guys get back together in your district teams? Is it district teams? Okay And we want you to look at ways that we can move forward ways that we can begin Making these next steps, but when we go to the next slide These are the the goals broken out. Um, these were the top How did you All of these goals got the highest points, but you notice it's a it's a goal It doesn't have the strategy underneath So in other words the strategies that were introduced the strategies that were introduced said You know what? Those were not the right strategies. We need to go back and really go a little bit deeper We have to you know, if you go back we talked about it We went round robin. We did the carousel activities and we said, you know Well the we need to create a post-secondary readiness student profile What we need to talk about is how do we really get into a deeper strategy on how we're going to do that? So today really what we're talking about right now is what we collectively thought was very important But we still have the next step of really identifying. What is the strategy to get us there? What I do want to point your attention to when you look at these highest scored Goal of all of them, you know, there were a lot more goals that receive threes Because there were fewer places to put your dots But the highest scored goal was creating a culture Of college going creating a culture a college and career going culture. Excuse me The highest was creating a college and career going culture And so I am here and in my role as I work with higher institutions I like to challenge because we all feel very comfortable with what we're doing and you guys are doing wonderful things I've learned an amazing amount But I would say that beyond getting the college and career culture We're looking at completion and then the success that comes after that We're wanting the successful contributing lifestyles And so there's some things that you guys came up with that I think would be very helpful In doing this, but I'm going to spin it just a little bit because my perspective is somewhat different Not coming from secondary education and not working with you that often And looking at the highest scored strategies There were two in particular The first one of the first Is harland dill ISD and that's trained teachers at middle school on rigor and readiness Implementing AP strategies in middle schools and high schools That was one of the one of the two strategies that were the highest scored And then the second highest scored Or the second first, if you will Was from north side and that's infused career investigation and exploration into middle school ELA curriculum Especially considering the requirement for increased non-fiction reading Now that particular goal Only received two points But the strategy in and of itself received four And so we had the discussion Can you have a strategy Divorced the goal and actually you could because there's a lot of Agreement here and I'm curious How the strategy could become so highly scored but the goal is not That might be something that you all want to talk about in your in your in your groups Or if you decide to convene in some different way But is it that you all are not having the same challenge? Maybe that we see in north side ISD what students completing the the the coherent sequence And if you are then maybe we can discuss how you're having this success and maybe they're they're not as successful in that arena Or maybe you just hadn't noticed that there was an issue. I don't know what it is But when we were talking yesterday, um, I have the counselors and I'm going to tell off on you guys just a little bit Because we were talking about ways that we could come together collectively In their function and look at ways that they can contribute to the overall goal And of course there's always a discussion about constraints with all the responsibility and the ridiculously high student counselor ratios and all the things that we know so much about And that really is a concern Beyond that there was a discussion that well when it comes to issues that are c and i that's not our function We don't have anything to do with that And my challenge to them was yes, you actually do you're not the ones who are developing curriculum You don't you know determine pedagogy or approach, but what do you know about emotional intelligence or Engaging or relating to students that you could be supportive and really undergirding your curriculum and instruction There are ways that everyone in this room regardless of where you sit Contribute to the other's role and the overall function And so beyond you guys getting together in your districts or even across districts and your individual groups Because I understand that you have a really well old machine How often do you talk across your little silos, you know and looking at the way that you really blend Not just looking at your strict function as it's written on paper But how do you how does your knowledge of your understanding and your interactions with students inform someone else To help the faculty who may be a content expert But has the worst ability to relate or cannot relate to students. How do you help them become a better a better teacher How do you really create the the atmosphere that will help cultivate this culture that we talk so much about So what we want you to do in the next slide, I guess we need to progress a little bit We want you to get together in your small groups And so let's take a quick vote because we could do it as we've done and have the districts get together and talk But since we're looking to collaborate across districts It almost makes more sense to me if we would organize in some different fashion And not so much putting all you together by your group But maybe just counting off into four different groups and bringing blended roles and blended districts together Um, so if you guys want to get together as your district Um, I want you to raise your hand or what I ask and then the other option is if you want to do a blended Group discussion and so all those for district. Let's see Yes So let me tell you because I guess you would want to know what you're going to be tasked with doing right That just now makes sense Um, so in your small groups, we want you to reflect back on everything that you've come up with that You see on the walls and looking at the the goals and looking at the strategies And looking at the summary that we've given you what scored what and what you all have collectively determined to be your priority How can you all get together to come up with ways that You can work together across districts to implement something that would be consistent Um, implement something that would look the same and would be measuring the exact same way so that collectively As four districts, you all begin to model how how your collaboration can propel This this desire of this culture that we want to create and can also enable your student success We want you to look at um The the results that have been validated. We've heard all the all about that from Alma We want you to look at ways that we could accomplish the goal or a said strategy um quickly And so we can always overanalyze something to death We can have a committee that can convene for the next two years to talk about one strategy That's on the wall, but we want you to move to action So not something that's so complicated and so burdensome that it's going to require 10 additional hours, you know of you every week But something that's really manageable something that you can commit to and that you will actually begin Taking the steps even if you break it down into segments, you know, this is phase one phase two This is what the full, you know project will look like or the full initiative will look like But what can you get together and agree? This is the strategy that we've all agreed with this is what this is how we're going to make it happen And this is how we're going to move quickly We don't have years to get this going we need to do it starting today when you leave We want you thinking about the whole point of your two days here how you can move from You know discussion contemplation to action implementation Um How are you going to collaborate? What is that going to look like who's going to get together? How are you going to communicate across silos across districts? And what your plan is and so that's you know in what how many minutes we have In the next 20 minutes And so again, this is only the first discussion So those of you who are looking at me like you I've got to be joking. I know it's a lot to ask But I want you thinking about it because this is serious. So this is the first discussion We don't expect you to have a fully fleshed out plan But we want to we want you to walk away with ideas that you've come up with that you think Okay, this is a way that we can begin getting there. This is a building block And then of course there's going to be the follow-up to make sure that you guys are convening and And and getting everything in place that you need Yes Yes That's that was my thought I agree I would say either a strategy or a goal because if you would you look when you combine this the goal and the strategy Then we have a different list. We have a different ranking when you look at the top ranked goal and the top ranked strategy There are only three And so there's one goal that's received a four there are two strategies that received a four and so No Yeah, right. You can come up with ways for influencing And and sharing and ways of gaining momentum towards this cause And so there, you know, you don't have the authority of course to go and change policy You know, I get that I fully understand that but you all are brilliant and you understand from your individual areas How you can blend your energies to I mean to really develop some synergy and so Let's look at what we can accomplish And even if it's coming up with a plan of how you're going to begin influencing people over to this this whole concept of collaborative effort collective So let's let's look at it in another lens. All right, right now. We're not going to really agree on on In other words, we're not going to go leave the room right now and say this is it. We're done Now remember Patrick's program the diploma is that's part of his follow-up That's part of him convening us all over again per se and I say it to take us to the next steps What is it that we're going to do three things that we know for sure for sure based on the goals of 2020 For sure. We know that we have to graduate more students college ready We know that we need to have give them access and persistence once they go to college And then we want to make sure that they complete a degree with a market value. That's it We know that that is it that we start in kindergarten That we have to have wonderful readers that we have to get them through ap Those are strategies in themselves The major goals is to make sure that these students have everything possible for them to be successful Once they graduate from not only high school from from college So in essence right now going back, how do we get to the end? Which is complete A graduate with a market value degree So today what we're going to be talking about are some of those things we're going to validate what we talked about We're not making those big deep decisions because I don't think we have the people of authority in the Audience today to say we're going to go back and you know what revamped our whole ap program We're going to add more courses because that's something that you're going to go back based on your data that you brought If you notice the data across all of your four school districts completely different on the same thing So again the follow-up is now to bring you back together a lot deeper with a strategy today was all these last two days Was for us to start thinking what is the final thing that we want to accomplish What you're going to do today is again You had time to go back home relaxed. You're bringing back remember the bright-eyed and bushy tails You're going to look at what's up on the wall. You've got the results in front of you. You're going to say, you know what What were we thinking yesterday when we talked about that? Number two, what's a quick win? Can we go back right now and say petition our school districts a common testing calendar? Is that something that all four of us can do tomorrow? And tell our superintendents our board members, you know what what does it have to do collectively? We got four school districts They're going to push that all of the acts sat's be done during a school day at our campus That's a quick win. Did you have to think about it? Did you have to go back? You talk about the obstacles? What does it cost? Things like that, but you see those are the quick wins that we're talking about me again We're doing the whole But what I'm trying to tell you is with the end in mind of the 2020 goal that is your focus All right, but the answer is yes Now let's look at the last one develop your identify your collaborate So you're in the cross section right now. You've got four different people So start talking about so do we need a calendar? What are we going to meet the diplomas project? That's what we call kind of the along with the educational partnerships your backbone They're the people that are going to come and bring you together bring you the resources the partners to talk to How do you convene who's going to follow through? Most of you who are working in I am One, two, three, four, seven, four, seven right here I don't want you to stay in or two Wait, you can just I'm sorry, so my opinion is that you should go in so let me give you a choice So most of you who want to stay in district raise your hands Those of you who want to blend raise your hands Okay, so it looks like we're going to stay in district And how do we come up and connect to people? What we're going to announce the best of great conference? That's a great that's a great question I think they have to do it There's one goal that has to most both and there are two strategies that have the most both In those notes on those papers it will have a form next to it And so on page one the strategy the first strategy with the most both is The second Carlinville ISD strategy number two And then on page two Northside ISD the second strategy with four of us is Involved to strategy one and it's the Peyton strategy And then the goal that has the highest of sun page three Shouldn't you guys let me let me let me bring it back We're not you're not abandoning your goals and your strategies are not what we need to do collectively and form school districts It's come up with one or two goals that together We're going to work towards collectively as a forceful district under these long months Private that's it. You're not abandoning anything when I ask you to do anything different Is it from the both we had there obviously was at each one's trend? Maybe I know Roxanne and I talked last night about that one. What does that one really mean? Maybe that's a discussion we have to have for the next 15 minutes It's just it's just that you know, what does that really mean? How is each district maybe going to carry it out at the big goal? We're not asking anybody to abandon your own This work is still yours And if we don't combine for each group for 15 minutes, how are we going to accomplish that? That's our So you did reach consensus because it was a little lemony And your couple of strategies can be Well, we're going to start increasing the career investigation in middle school and we're going to increase And that's always And on top of that all you're doing All you're doing right now is you're identifying ways that you're going to collaborate And you're identifying a plan for communicating Until you're going to identify these elements. You're not going to write a dissertation And the time that you have this to be getting conversation It will continue. I promise Was there a handle from yours? How far is that 85% This is not to to flush out the metric. We're not doing that right now. We're looking at what it is I don't have any requirements Are you saying on the stress It is it is very evident that this needs follow-up. So we agreed that all right All right, so today this is your house for today with the understanding that we have Of an individual organization that's going to follow up with you The people your your superintendents whoever needs to be there to validate it. I mean give the real Challenges the funding the time the resources everything will be at the table to make those decisions What those superintendents can your superintendents need to know is that there was some input There was some discussion. There was some agreement. There was some voting There was people coming in and having conversations. There was confusion There was a line of people to tell them But right now what we need to do it's not we're not going to leave that room gene. It's impossible with this is the contact It's going to be this is the commitment we have and this is what we're going to be doing I think you make a great point because the two strategies that are voted the most the most while under that The north side We have in that conversation right now I think if we use the creating college and curriculum as our overall goal Everything we did falls under that and we can't even know what's increasing rigor that one of the largest folks and training teachers Okay, we're all trying to do that And we've all been trying to do that every single day every minute And that's not going to get us a quick win because we write it and have a tough time So The other there were two strategies that scored for one of them had to do with cte and embedding the career exploration and investigation and Curriculum looking at the the requirement for increased nonfiction writing. And so I had to explain that and I I think I see that you have this curriculum that's reconsidered in a very early age At age appropriate But it's beginning to show them what life could look like as far as what I can be what I can become Maybe they don't have those examples or those role models that are in their immediate life experience when they walk out of those doors But they they are beginning to see what the whole point of an education is and are beginning to understand How their life could be different from their parents But in addition to that, you know, the you know, when you have a goal in minds and you work harder You're more engaging your academic There's a point to it But it also begins to instill a culture of persistence and conclusion in their mind because they have something that they're working toward They're making a commitment and they're moving forward. And so that actually accomplishes the academic You know desire that looks at the the culture of the thinking So we these these are all accomplishing the overall our own goal But I wanted to hear what Because I think you're going down the road where I was thinking we might go Well, for example today, Jeff Talked to us about the tool for A profile planning guide So could we all commit that you know, hey, we'd like to do that at each of our school Is that only a high school tool or A middle high any school, right? So, you know, that would be a great starting point because it it kind of goes with somebody said a student career profile or college ready student profile So first we got to get the school ready. I feel like and then So we can do that and then Our communication piece was about really teachers as college access professionals You know teachers are your first line of defense for kids So What kind of knowledge do teachers need to know at every level at elementary middle and high So that if a student asks them a question about You know college or careers What is it? What are some basic facts that every single teacher needs to know and we could come up with those by Level and what kinds of things do we want in every single teacher's classroom? You know, those would be like fast doable things That would make a difference one by one. No, what what I wondered was I I know we voted I don't want to dishonor that but it seems it seemed like we're splitting hairs about that If there were some strategies that were worthy and they got votes I wonder about because what we've talked about is that big abstract We have that metric We can list them in order to honor voting But I think anything that got at least a couple of votes meant somebody's thinking about doing that and and that's all we have To put in there we this group can talk about that later about how we do that to flesh out the ideas as you're going through But do you think I mean, I don't know I just kind of worry if you put a river Right, is that that was a goal about the strategy, right? That was a ball see what happened I think I think the reason we're having this competition is because the goals that came up the highest The strategies under those goals are not right, but I agree with again because I I think we can reframe some of those strategies that you pointed out and make them really be support strategies Under the big goal that obviously all of us agreed on is all we want So I really think we shouldn't deviate from some of what you've been saying I think it's so important you guys to think about this strategy as a menu of strategies If it would be great is it if there were one or two strategies that everyone could at least say I'm going to really look at whether this will work for my district and I'm going to report back Right because there were some strategies that emerged But what if we think about this is that this is the goal that everyone agreed on That come and we've already set the metric essentially So now we're going to have to look at how each of our districts is doing annually to kind of get lined up with that metric and then what are the strategies That all the strategies that we think are valuable and worth pursuing but then rather than one or two or three That we collectively at least are going to go see if they might work for our districts and then come back as a group and say hey This is this is something we've investigated. This is what we found. This is what we think it's going to be And one of them could be um How to just be thinking put on the law if you've just heard something new from Jeff Or we can say as a separate category over here We're going to also throw up some quick wins that we've thought about from the gallery block or That we want to also pursue And I would like to change the wording on that which I think might be more palatable to say infuse career guidance And investigation The idea of the the continuous course sequence shouldn't hold anybody back The idea is we want kids looking at careers sooner Right and and we wanted this part of the curriculum Right, right It shouldn't be something that's done at lunchtime in the go centers I Think what Roseanne said about investigating the The matrix college career readiness matrix looking at Maybe not the whole district but pilot schools The dashboard that you were talking about yesterday To come up with a profile The matrix The matrix could be the profile guys Yes Yeah Yes, it does And the single reason one of all those could be the comic calendar. Yes And I love the comment testing calendar Well, I don't know if you need to put together a school board. They might have That all sits already board. I mean today's a test. Yeah, I guess I'm trying to think of when you say common testing I think Oh Yes, but as as north side I've investigated that with college board and with 15,000 secondary students that it's not something I'm comfortable implementing I'm certainly willing to continue to investigate it with you all Maybe so It's our secondary college board person here in this year Is this an opportunity to talk to the legislature? Well, it is a cost item in order to do it during the school day It is a huge cost item Good for urban right and they were able to get All right So you guys remember the menu of strategies, it doesn't mean that Doesn't mean all of you will necessarily do them. They're going to investigate. They're going to keep helping the rest of us do it Learning from it, but it doesn't mean that all of us have to do all those Six strategies I'm going back to number one I'm fated that holds out to get over here because of my elementary people up there Your goal here is college and career ready culture, but you've left out elementary schools And so number one in my mind should be Inuse career guidance totally agree with it, but the exploration part can include elementary school too So in my mind We instead of saying we could use infused career guidance in the middle school and exploration Beginning in elementary or we just say a protocol curriculum Because we've just eliminated by just starting out. You're just saying right there. Let's just start in the middle school and it's kind of left out The culture in that elementary school too and that's what we're trying to begin is back in our elementary schools So when they get to middle school in high school, they are familiar with it already So that way we're not reteaching or first teaching it in the middle school to high school Well the reason and it doesn't take much explanation you're exactly wrong The infusion needs to occur earlier. We're talking we're not talking about counselors going into classrooms and go centers We're talking about looking at our curriculum and infusing in the curriculum These career exploration opportunities, and you're exactly right. It should start start sooner And be responsive because I've been reading through what you gave me from the gallery Overwhelmingly you all want more doing more in elementary and middle school Because I've been reading through those cards you gave me Yes, so overwhelming all of you want a lot more in elementary and middle school programming and career And everything's London the SATACT program In gene just FYI that full strategy goal and thing as it's developed fits so nicely with the SA 2020 50% of the adults in San Antonio will have a two or four year degree And I think we're going to add a certificate to that So yeah in an honors essay where I like to work with essay whatever Yes, okay But I understand that we all agree on the goal we agree on the metric and we'll start looking at how we sort of Move towards that essay over time, right as we know it's going to take a long time to get necessarily there But we're going to this is a manual strategy and we're going to It's great teachers and administrators at all levels On rigor and readiness implement a strategy So Can I um Can we put instead of teachers and administrators put the school staff you have lots of you have a lot of paraprofessionals Centers and areas And you know the kids will walk into the secretaries and the main office asking all kinds of questions If you do that culture it's going to be a whole If you do I would I would support that adding staff but not replacing teachers and administrators Right because frequently administrators check out and that lead that out to the content coordinators and so and other staff And goal number three would you change investigating to investigate so it's consistent with all the others Sorry This is Yes I just I have a concern about About putting it just in four areas. I mean kids are Exposed to art music And elementary those are usually the basic foundations Electives they should be able to see in those classes Those electives could possibly give them a career that they may like later in the future You know what we were trying to do with that is to make sure that we reached 100 of the students We're currently doing that on electives across Of the district now, but we're only hitting a small percentage of the students because there's only a small percentage In the fine arts and career tech at those levels. So that was that was the idea of the high and good Putting it in And So on those surveys we gave you we asked you when you wanted to get together so Answer that because that's how we're going to go back and do the follow-up How are you going to collaborate and how do you see it's great That's my total question. I mean you guys will have to figure out how you collaborate How are you going to communicate across on districts across areas? And so just letting me know that this is great But we didn't accomplish everything on this slide. I think you did the most important thing In the direction and so I just encourage you to take some of my cards All right, okay, so uh instructions We're going to have lunch and it's ready and you bring it back here and then we're going to Have our next presentation So, uh, you're going to exit that door and the lunch has been set up in the hallway pick it up and come back this way
