ÒõAPPµ¼º½

ÒõAPPµ¼º½ Valley 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.

 

ÒõAPPµ¼º½ Valley 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 ÒõAPPµ¼º½ Valley graduates.

 

To date, ÒõAPPµ¼º½ Valley 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 ÒõAPPµ¼º½ Valley serves - students, staff, families, and community members.

Each ÒõAPPµ¼º½ Valley 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 ÒõAPPµ¼º½ Valley, our vision is “Happy Kids, in Healthy Relationships, on the Path to Gainful Employment.”

ÒõAPPµ¼º½ Valley 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 ÒõAPPµ¼º½ Valley 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 ÒõAPPµ¼º½ Valley 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.
