Committee. I would like to give the chance of the workshop to introduce themselves. Superintendent of high schools. Hi, everyone. Its nice to see all of you. [ laughter ] teresa, director. [inaudible] good evening, everyone. Executive of college and Career Readiness. Nicole curriculum instruction. So when you are talking, although we can hear you, its good to use the microphone so at home they can hear. This is our second Student Outcomes focus workshop with our data with a practice run with aj who is online as well in january. As a reminder, we actually really arent expected to be doing these until the 2023 school year because we are still putting strategies in place, but we know it was important to kind of build the habit of engaging in progress monitoring, so we have committed to doing this for the remainder of the school year. I really appreciated at the last meeting we had a lot of discussion on our literacy goals. At the end, there was a general sentiment of appreciating the discussion and wanting to be open about our progress and where we are facing challenges. I think it was commissioner lainie montamedi who wanted to hear where we havent hit our mark and where we are going. So i wanted to start off with some reflections about this report before we go into this and hitting areas where we maybe didnt hit this target this time and wanted to hear our thoughts about that. We got 35 questions from Board Members about the progress monitoring report. So, this is like a learning process for all of us and what needs to be included and prompted a question to our team about how we effectively engage in progress monitoring and supporting this one. I want to give you a chance to share a general thought and then i will give three brief reflections. Thank you. As you know we have been working on literacy for three years and when we met the last time we came up with a lot of information from that particular area which is a journey that many of you have been on with us and as well as partnership as well as many of our Community Members. Just to recap in some ways, for literacy weve had an audit, community meetings, weve met with different stakeholder groups, we have conversed with our school sites about literacy and worked with other departments within sfusd. So we came what we believe is a pretty comprehensive idea and plan about how we want to move literacy forward. So we have new goals in college and Career Readiness. And i think its safe to say that our past priority has been around Graduation Rates and we do so across many populations. The goals challenged us and i think thats good and it challenged us to look at some of our programming more specifically and how our programming is landing with our students and accessing the programming and meeting the needs of our students with the Different College and career pathways. So we are in a different place with literacy and we want to own this upfront. Our work is going forward. How are we going to engage our stakeholders much as we have with literacy and connect with our Community Members and school sites around this work and what is our plan for expansion in terms of meeting the goals. I wanted to state the landscape that it is a different scope of work and we are excited about that work and how we can move forward. I appreciate the board being with us as we move down this road. Thank you. So, there is the three specific reflections, one is around interpreting the data. Another is around developing the plan and the third is around focusing on depth over breadth. To focus on the data, with literacy and math, there is different variations of it with different interim assessments but with this one we are using three different data points with our progress and measures and need to spend some time understanding how to really interpret the data to get the why which was missing from the report the why. With literacy, we have the audit and the experience and our assessments on the line and we werent spending enough time on foundational skills. Thats no. 1. No. 2, we have a college and Career Readiness team here and this is one where the program is district wide, but the activities happen at the school. And so, we are in the process of actually its not necessarily an audit but we have a lot of information that is just coming out about whats happening at our school through the High School Task force. We have some of you were there, we had 16 high schools had teams represented at mission high where we had real thoughtful conversation about whats being offered at our schools. That can really inform this and we need that connection with the schools, one, making sure that we are developing the plans and our understanding on whats happening. Lastly in terms of the breadth of our depth, we have three interim goals and when we do the progress monitoring next year, we are not going to talk about all three goals every time, but actually talk deeper about one of the strategies around the goal rather than try to put in so much. We listed seven different programs that we are doing, but we didnt go into too much depth about any of them about why we think the program is going to change the outcome. I just wanted to share those upfront. The team is going to walk through the report now for about ten minutes and we will highlight somewhere we thought there is more information to share why we think this will make a difference. Then its the rest of the time for discussion. So im going to open up here. We are going to draw your attention to the data 3. 2 and 3. 3. One of the observations in that data is that we have a flat trend in both of those areas. We are not seeing the growth that we would hope to see year over year. And what we have thought about what are the structural changes that we need to make from our end to meet the college and Career Readiness goals that have been set. We have been narrowing down our focus on the three areas that joanna is going to get through. Before you speak, if you can restate your name. Joanna psychics sykes, college and Career Readiness. Stating all the college and career programs that is run district wide. Two of the ones i wanted to highlight, one is around Credit Recovery and particularly the precoverary work that we are planning to expand. So historically we have offered grants to specific schools in order to help students pass their courses and High School Graduation requirements. But its been to certain schools, not every School Depending on site needs. One of the intentions for the upcoming year is to build a team so we can build some precoverary courses that covers all the high schools. So we want to start with our ninth grade and getting their 1st quarter grades and those already getting a d and f to get those going. The second highlight is our partnership with city college, our partnership started in 2016, and we have been working very closely with city college to improve our partnership and in particular in this last year, weve had a few retreats with them with dr. Priestley and there and the chancellor and vice chancellor and really moving forward in our partnership. I have been with this department for five years and doing more enrollment classes for this year. Its taken at least five years to get that. We are excited that we are going to be able to expand access to dual enrollment students. Those are the two that i wanted to highlight for this particular piece. I think the other thing to share, we have for peoples reference the interim goals and guard rails in march and you gave some feedback about the interim and to me to incorporate but those need to be finalized by next workshop and i will come back with them. In the report you may have seen we talked about adjusting the interim goal for 3. 2 and 3. 3 which is around the Credit Recovery and the participation in the pathway. Thats another area where we recognize the trend is flat and didnt want to communicate well. So if thats the case, well just change the goal. But in the spirit of these smart goals if they are being realistic, what we recognize to address those goals it is going to take some structural change in our high schools because for Credit Recovery, these kids need time to recover the credit, to makeup the courses. With our schedule there is not much time in the school day. Do we need to provide more time during the school day, provide more online opportunities. These are the areas we are trying to study in this path course and we have some pathways and wall to wall pathways and no pathways. So with this task force, we are going to provide more information and where we do and if we dont, why we dont do it there. We are going to get recommends in september and they are not going to happen next year and maybe we can do some program and Credit Recovery and that was the idea for 23 24, knowing we need to be on target for our ultimate goal in 2027. I wanted to share that point as well. With that, well open up for discussion. It seems that people arent able to see the boardroom just the interpreter on zoom. So to see if we can promote aj to panelist. Well check that. Can you promote him . Okay. I just got a text that people can see things fine. At least from one other person. Now lets see. There we go. People are using the question and answer inside zoom to lift up that problem. I appreciate it. That is used for folks who are in need of the asl services to communicate with the board. I think we are at a place where well open up to conversations and questions from commissioners and student delegates. Maybe well start with our left. No pressure to go first if you dont want to. We are asking commissioners and folks to limit their comments and asking folks to keep your initial comments to a minute to a minute 1 2, and well assess where we are at collectively and move from there. I had a question about dual enrollment in city colleges. Given that classes are giving students an edge and wondering if there is a way to specifically target schools with a low number of app course offerings . Thats a great question and how we focus on dual enrollment is for schools that dont have some of the more advanced courses and the other opportunity is building with studies and pathways with city College Since thats going to be a requirement as well. That has been our focus where their programming is needing for more advance opportunities for students. Off of what raquel said for dual enrollment classes, i was wondering if there are any support systems in place for High School Students registered for dual enrollment students. We have a whole team that are supposed to do that with counselors and tsas and they actually hold the application and registration sessions at the high schools at each semester and for summer as well. That would be from your classmates if you have idea. If we are doing that and they are not hearing it, how can we make it easier, what are you hearing from them . I think a lot of students do know that dual enrollment exist and a way to gain credit for colleges and build interest in certain topics, regarding the Registration System exactly is confusing for the average High School Student and confusing for how to connect. I think a lot of students know there is a support system for them. Thinking along the same lines if there is already at schools, its up to the school to advertise in the school about hosting those workshops because i never knew they were coming to my school site. So maybe working with counselors on that. I registered for a class a year ago and there was one person to help me out and one person for like 20 students and hard to connect with her and hard to get information. So i think making sure that students know they are getting individual support and students are able to register for classes would be beneficial. Speaking of dual enrollment, how many students are offered courses this year and whats our goal to increase it and who are our students . Where are they coming from . We have in the fall we had a little less than 600 students participating, throughout the year its over 1,000. We are at all the high schools except laurel and soda right now. We have dual enrollment at soda, but its not happening this particular
