I had the pleasure of being able to attend their new webinar this past week, which was a wonderful example of how collaborative, interactive, and innovative the new school district is. I’ve been a longtime supporter of this school district for different reasons, but most importantly I’ve been a supporter of the new district’s initiatives.
San Joaquin is a school district that serves nearly a quarter million students in a fairly large area of the county. For the last two years they have been working hard to turn around a failing district in a different way that’s been effective at improving the district and creating a more responsive, productive, and positive school system.
The fact that we’re talking to a school district in the county that is making changes here is a pretty great thing to see. It really helps to show that there are real people behind the scenes. Its also nice to hear that the district is making all the right changes to create a more productive and productive place for students to learn.
One of the better ways to show how the people in charge actually make decisions is to ask them what they think. And that’s exactly what we did here with the district in San Joaquin County that is making some great changes to their district. Their district is one of the most successful in the country in terms of student achievement among kids who are poor, and they are changing the culture here with what they call “invisible means of empowerment.
The district leaders in this case make the decision to try to make things better for their students, and they change the culture. The district leadership hires a superintendent, hires a school psychologist, engages in a lot of internal and external conversations, and hires teachers who are actually good at what they do. That makes it easier for students and parents to feel like they are doing something.
I think I got the biggest laugh when the district chief of staff says “We’re not taking the initiative anymore.” That was a pretty good one for me. This is San Joaquin County, which is, in fact, the only county in the state to have a district chief of staff. That’s a pretty big deal.
This is the district head of education at San Joaquin County who, in the most famous case of the country’s last child killer, has been trying to kill a child, and has had nothing to do with any other child killer. But it’s not all bickering. This kid was a good kid, and he was only a day late, and so he didn’t have any of the same emotions that the other kids did.
Why they call the kid the child killer is a mystery, but he didnt have any of the same emotions as the other kids did. He was just a kid who didnt get to go to his favorite party that night, and he didnt have any of the same emotions.
The next time someone calls you a child killer, give them a call at 817-644-4411.
And just like the previous story trailer, the San Joaquin county office of Education is also full of cool stuff. The fact that these kids were all just a day late, and the fact that they were all locked in their room, means they are going to die. In a way, this is the exact opposite of what we are doing. We are all just kids, and we are all going to die eventually. But we can make our deaths a little bit more fun.
