  • The Road to Collecting Voice:
    CVUSD’s Need to Listen

    Posted by Chris Collins on 12/20/2023

    51³Ô¹Ï has a vision that unites our community - Happy Kids, in Healthy Relationships, on a path to Gainful Employment.  This vision honors each child’s path and focuses on preparing all children to thrive in their future.

     

    51³Ô¹Ï graduates need to be college/career ready, and the community has voiced that schools are not adequately preparing students with the skills they need to succeed. This begs the question, what are the skills needed to be happy, to maintain healthy relationships, and to be gainfully employed? What skills are durable and needed to thrive in the rapidly changing world of work?

     

    CVUSD has asked partners across the community to define the skills that are essential to each child thriving in their future. The district set a goal to hear from 50% of staff, 10% of students, and 5% of families as well as hearing from local community members, business partners, higher education institutions, and 51³Ô¹Ï graduates.

     

    To date, 51³Ô¹Ï has heard from over 2,500 students, staff, families, and business owners. Over 15,000 of the most important skills have been suggested and are driving the process forward. The road to creating a Portrait of a Graduate will continue to be driven by the voices 51³Ô¹Ï serves - students, staff, families, and community members.

     

    Please continue to share your voice through the following: 

    1. If you haven’t already, please suggest the most important skills and mindsets needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world of work on the , , or the .   
    2. Please consider to be the first to know when new opportunities to provide feedback are available. 

     

    Have a wonderful holiday season! We look forward to sharing updates with you in the New Year.

  • Portrait of a Graduate - Your Voice is Needed

    Posted by Chris Collins on 11/15/2023

    Each 51³Ô¹Ï student brings their unique strengths and interests to their classrooms everyday. Often, our traditional metrics don’t show the full story of each student. In 51³Ô¹Ï, our vision is “Happy Kids, in Healthy Relationships, on the Path to Gainful Employment.”

    51³Ô¹Ï needs your voice, input, and perspective to build a Portrait of a Graduate. A Portrait of a Graduate, or POG, is a set of skills and mindsets necessary for every 51³Ô¹Ï student to develop. These skills and mindsets make up a collective vision for student success to ensure all students have the skills needed to be happy, maintain healthy relationships, and be on their unique path to gainful employment. 

    Please use the to share what 3 skills and mindsets you want to see all 51³Ô¹Ï students develop. This journey will be shared out and chronicled on the Data and Awesomeness Blog to keep you up to date on the exciting developments in the district. As the POG continues to move from concept to practice, we want to include your voice and perspective. Fill out the to receive updates for new blog posts.
