    We’ve had a good start this school year with our new partners, and we are sincerely honored to have all of them a part of the education revolution! 

Product Improvements

    Helping our schools transform learning with technology, our team of dedicated web developers continuously worked day and night to improve our Quipper platforms for better teaching and learning experience of our partners. One of the biggest product upgrades we’ve done this past semester is the launch of our new and improved student portal, Q-Learn, which was released last July 2019. Read our previous blog article for in-depth and detailed information about the improved features of the new Q-Learn or watch the video tutorial through this link.

    Following the updates on the Student Portal, our Android team has also revamped our Quipper Android app to align with the enhancements on Q-Learn. With its new design and user interface, improved features and better navigation,  Quipper for Android will surely change our students’ learning experience for the better.

    Also released last July 2019 was our Parent App. With its more simplified version, parents can monitor their children’s learning progress online with ease and real-time. All it takes is a few clicks in creating their own accounts, and parents can now start being updated with their children’s academic performance on Quipper.

    As for our Teacher Portal, Q-Link, there were also a few updates made on some of its features such as the following:

      1. New Q-Link Messages

    Previously, when clicking the Messages icon, it will open up a new tab to access the Messaging feature on Q-Link. With the new update, it will now simply open on the same page on Q-Link; teachers can still send messages to their students as a class or individually as before.

    2. “Search Assignments” button on Dashboard

    On the Assignment List section on Dashboard, a “Search Assignments” button is now made available. Clicking this button will redirect teachers to “Assignment Analysis” section found Statistics tab. Here, teachers can:

See all assignments as filtered by class, subject, assignment type, and period.

View success rate of students per question item

View students’ performance per topic

More Content

    Aside from the improvements made in our Quipper platforms, we have also launched several new content projects for the past 5 months. Our Content Team continuously strives to create edifying quality content for the benefit of our teachers and students, and they certainly did an amazing job by releasing 3 brand new content this school year.

    The first one is our Teachers’ Content package, which was well-received by our partner teachers. It serves as a one-stop-shop of resources for teachers that can help reduce their workload and make them more efficient. This package is available for Math, English, Science, Filipino, and Araling Panlipunan subjects, and contains the following features:

Downloadable Teaching Guides

Worksheets for Math & Science

Additional Literary Texts and Language Drills for English

Downloadable and Editable Presentation Slides

Additional Resource Links

Answer Keys for Quipper Study Guide activities

    We’ve also released two new subjects that have been highly requested by our partner teachers. These are MAPEH for Grades 4-10 and TLE for Grades 7-8. These 2 courses include the standard content package: lesson slides, downloadable study guides, and 10 ready-made questions for assessment.

Sample Study Guides for Junior High MAPEH

Sample Study Guides for Junior High TLE

    Last in our content releases for this 1st semester is for our Quipper Video users. From the previous year, 10 Senior High School core subjects with video lessons have already been published. For this year, we have launched 7 more Senior High School core subjects for Quipper Video. These subjects are:

Media and Information Literacy

Physical Education and Health

Contemporary Philippine Arts from the Regions

Introduction to the Philosophy of the Human Person

Understanding Culture, Society, and Politics

Personal Development

Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction 

    For these new batch of video lessons, the uploaded videos have now been uploaded in segments or chunks. This means that there are at least 2 video lessons per topic that will allow teachers to emphasize the key points of the lesson through short, engaging videos. More than that, this format can help students process the information better.

    In addition to our 7SHS Videos, we have also launched our Math 2.0 content, which not only includes the basic features (e.g. Downloadable Study Guide and 10-item Quiz) but more importantly, a new video format and improved video features. This is available for Senior High School Math subjects, General Mathematics and Statistics and Probability, as well as for our Grade 10 Math Video course set. These new features in Math 2.0 include:

Better animation and improved background and graphics.

More examples with step-by-step solutions.

Each lesson will now have a maximum video runtime of 9 mins that are divided into short segments.

Mixture of videos and lesson slides in each topic

    Looking back, indeed, it has been a productive and meaningful 1st semester for all of us. As we enter the second half of SY 2019-2020, we look forward to more opportunities of providing the right combination of technology, content, and support to achieve our goal of bringing the best education to all corners of the world!

A QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE

2ND QUARTER 2018 PROGRESS REPORT

When I was elected to the board presidency position by my co-trustees in late 2017, I announced that our board would focus its greatest attention on 3 specific areas within our existing strategic plan, including: Specical Education, Closing the Gap for our male Latino students and promoting SJUSD as a district of excellence. Since announcing those priorities, I am pleased to share the following:

Special Education: After the previous director of Special Education left the district more than a year ago, Jackie Zeller, the assistant superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, led a team in a thorough investigation of all department practices, policies and procedures. They tightened systems and uncovered bottlenecks and other challenges to smooth and effective service delivery and conducted a study of best practices in other school districts. The district hired an administrator of Strategic Projects, Seth Reddy, to oversee the thorough review of special education and just last month, Mr. Reddy was appointed to the permanent position of Director of Special Education.In addition, the district will pilot a full inclusion preschool program and has engaged in conversation with a parent group that is seeking to create a full inclusion model for our district.

Male Latino Students: For the most part, SJUSD mirrors the demographics and graduation rates of the State of California. However, in the early 90's, SJUSD lagged 15 points behind the state graduation rates for Latino students. SJUSD has made great strides since then and has more than tripled the previous rate as of 2016. This is decent progress, but if you compare the Latino graduation rate at SJUSD with Asian and Caucasian student graduation rates, there is still an unacceptably large gap. Drilling down even farther, there is even a gap between Latino male and female students, with girls outperforming boys.  We are committed to increasing outcomes for all Latino students, with a particular focus on our Latino boys & teens, by focusing on the following:

1. Addressing the disadvantage that English Language learners experience with academic language. For native-English speakers, the development of academic language builds progressively on conversational skills, but the challenge for English-language learners is to learn both conversational and academic language concurrently.

2. Promoting the use of Systematic Instruction that breaks skills down into individual components for students and helps students to fully comprehend the new skills and learning objectives of the instructions.

3. Enhancing our Academic Counseling efforts to develop academic/career plans consistent with the stated goals, abilities and interests of our students. Our counselors will focus sessions on providing accurate information to students about policies, procedures and requirements, again with particular attention paid to the success of Latino male students.

District of Excellence: It is important that we as a district make time and resources available to promote all of our schools, but particularly those that are under-enrolled. Too often, community members are unaware of exciting programs in our district, such as the International Baccalaureate track at Horace Mann, Peter Burnett and San Jose High School, the two way bilingual immersion programs at River Glen, Bachrodt, Trace, Hoover and Lincoln; the championship debate program at Leland High School, the state of the art engineering facility at San Jose High, robotics at Gunderson, environmental science at Hacienda, our own Montessori program at Hammer, partnerships with the Tech Museum of Innovation and more. Our schools offer exciting and rigorous options for San Jose families and we need to shine lights on our schools and shape our own narrative. I have recommended a video program and other efforts to highlight our schools with 2 goals in mind: the "soft" goal of improving each school's reputation in its neighborhood and the "SMART" goal of increasing enrollment across the district. Stay tuned for more on this topic.

Finally, in my continued commitment to engagement and transparency, what follows is my assessment of the developments in the 5 areas that defined my "Quest for Excellence" in my 2014 campaign for this office.

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

Almost 200 people participated in our Town Hall on February 5th. SJUSD has provided written responses to several questions/comments made. You can read those here. The next Town Hall will be held at Lincoln High School on April 30th at 6pm. One of the highlighted topics will be the allocation of Measure Y (parcel tax) dollars - please join us to weigh in on how you would like to see those dollars used. See you there!

The state legislature is proposing a requirement that would prevent classes from starting prior to 8:30 a.m. The audience from the recent town hall heard arguments from both sides. They were polled for their opinion at 51% supporting later start times, 39% opposed and 8% not sure. San José Unified School District is interested in knowing your thoughts on this hot topic. You can weigh in by emailing info@sjusd.org

SJUSD has secured a seat on the City of San José's Station Area Advisory Group (SAAG), which addresses the future Google campus at Diridon Station. SJUSD will advocate for our schools to benefit from the Google development. The tax revenue generated from a business of this size in our city would transform SJUSD from a revenue limit to a basic aid district, significantly increasing the amount of money we would have to spend - on classroom resources, staff salaries and more.

A Farmer's Market is coming to the Lincoln High School Parking Lot! Beginning Saturday, May 5, the West Coast Farmers' Market Association will be setting up shop in our neighborhood. For more details, consider attending a community meeting scheduled for March 29 at Westminster Presbyterian Church on Shasta Avenue at 6:30 pm.

SCHOOL LINKED SERVICES

San José Unified School District was lucky to have Give Kids a Smile, a group of dentists and support staff that provide free dental screenings in schools, visit several of our schools including Bachrodt Charter Academy. Kids without regular dentists received assistance when found to have serious issues. Partnerships like these have such a positive impact on a child and I am so grateful for Give Kids a Smile and all their work.

SJUSD has partnered with MySchoolBucks to provide an opportunity for members of the community to make tax-deductible donations toward paying off student meal debts. While we would never refuse a meal to a student, debts can quickly grow to hundreds of dollars. Any member of the community can visit this online portal to make a donation.

SJUSD partners with the Santa Clara County School Linked Services program, which refers students to behavioral health and other social services. We work to connect students with immigration, housing and nutrition services. We hire and support teachers who seek to understand the myriad challenges faced by students, whether stressed by academic pressure, facing trauma or living in unstable environments.

provide safe, soothing places on campus for students to de-stress.

create environments for students and teachers to connect around non-academic challenges.

engage families in support of student challenges, ensuring that the messaging is positive and not punitive.

try to do more work internally, reducing cross-agency communication gaps and privacy issues that limit comprehensive approaches.

A number of students recently had the opportunity to tell their teachers & administrators exactly what is keeping them from attending school, caring about their grades or working toward the goal of graduation at Santa Clara Unified School District. Several students felt disheartened that their teachers did not ever smile at them, ask how they were doing or show any interest in them in class or in the hallways. The catharsis was double edged: previously marginalized students felt valued and heard and numerous teachers had the opportunity to connect with students on a new level. Some of my takeaways from talking with the SCUSD Director of Health & Wellness (Ben Gonzales - a Lincoln & Hoover parent, btw) and a few of the fabulous counselors and staff members:

A not insignificant detail: the budget for this program is in excess of $3 million per year. SCUSD is a "basic aid" district and has access to far greater resources than does SJUSD but it left me thinking, what more can and must we do with our more limited dollars to meet more of the needs of our students?

CHARTER AND NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL COLLABORATION

The spirit of collaboration has felt challenged lately as two charter schools that were approved by the State Board of Education seek to locate within the SJUSD boundaries. Both schools, Perseverance and Promise, want to locate in downtown San Jose and their preference is to co-locate with one or more of our downtown elementary schools. Perseverance intends to serve students in grades 5-8; Promise, grades K-8.

Currently, there are nine SJUSD elementary schools serving downtown, (Grant, Bachrodt, Anne Darling, Empire Gardens, Olinder, Lowell, Washington, Gardner, Horace Mann), most of which are showing declining enrollment due to the high cost of living in this area, particularly for renters. There are three charter middle schools (ACE, DCP, and Sunrise) already operating in and near downtown San Jose and not one of them is at full enrollment capacity. It is difficult to justify providing facilities for yet more schools in an area that is already saturated. In addition, parents at our elementary schools have expressed concerns about middle schoolers being on their campuses, campuses that are designed for younger and smaller children.

As a trustee, I am committed to ensuring that students who live in our district boundaries have high quality options for public education. This is one of the reasons our district is, in fact, a "district of choice" and parents may request to send their children to schools other than their own neighborhood schools when they desire particular options that aren't available at their "home schools" - for example, Horace Mann, Peter Burnett and San Jose High School offer the globally prestigious International Baccalaureate program.

Finally, SJUSD is seeking clarity in charter school law which often feels unclear. The question to which we are seeking resolution is, when a school district rejects a charter petition, whether the appeal body must consider only the petition that was initially reviewed and affirm or overrule the district's decision OR whether that body may consider other information not provided in the original petition or approve the petition after having made substantial revisions to it.

STUDENT SAFETY

Hundreds of SJUSD high schoolers, and one second grader from Merritt Trace Elementary school, walked out of their classrooms today in protest our Congress's failure to promote sensible gun legislation. Students used the power of their feet and their voices to make a powerful statement that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. A helpful resource for this time can be found here: Talking to Children About Violence: Tips for Parents and Teachers

The physical and emotional safety of all of our students, as well as all of the adults, on our campuses is of paramount importance. Particularly in light of the current political climate, we need to be particularly vigilant in guarding against speech or action that could be described as motivated by prejudice, bias or discrimination against any group of people. I encourage staff members, parents and students to speak up if they feel unsafe or targeted for any reason. Almost all of us are feeling vulnerable and need to have one another's backs.

Kids of all ages are swiping and scrolling, totally transfixed by screens of all sizes. Welcome to the new frontier of parenting. If you have questions on how to take control of, or at least keep up with, the technology in your kids' lives, check out Common Sense Media.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

California's 6th District PTA Annual Lunch on March 2nd was brimming with parent leaders, district employees & board members from throughout the County. It was a wonderful experience to spend time with these individuals that are so deeply invested in our students.

Following the resignation of Paymon Zarghami Board Trustee Area 4 in February, we appointed Michael Milillo to fill the vacancy. Michael will serve until December 2018, when the term of office expires. Seven strong community members applied for this position - it was exciting to have such a deep pool but very difficult to make a decision when any number of them would have made excellent trustees. Michael is a data scientist with Apple, serves on the SJ Library and Early Childhood Commission and is the father of 2 children who attend Reed elementary school.You can learn more about him here.

We are always hiring! Contact our Human Resources Department and job portal here.

BEYOND THE BOARDROOM

Many of my personal efforts serve to inform my role as a trustee, build relationships, and think strategically about how best to improve outcomes for all SJUSD students. I am actively participating in a number of projects related to education policy and social justice:

I attended the recent Children's Summit Conference sponsored by Kids In Common, which oversees the compilation of the annual Santa Clara County Children's Agenda Data Book. The Data Book tracks the condition of children across a range of measures including hunger, homelessness, foster care, juvenile justice engagement, access to health care, developmental assets, emotional health and well being, school readiness, key academic performance measures and high school graduation rates. The conference included a number of breakout sessions. Most fascinating to me was a proposal to pilot two programs for the Franklin McKinley and Alum Rock school districts that will investigate how to coordinate and develop universal access for all parents to early childhood services, including prenatal care and programs for children lasting from infancy through third grade. The initiative aims to strengthen ties between the local school districts and families with young children in order to create a better transition from preschool to kindergarten. The pilot is also targeted at better coordinating the services families receive from the County, improving children's opportunities to be successful in school. If successful, this program is one that I would recommend adopting for several of our downtown elementary schools.

I am a member of the County Civics Education Initiative and our committee is working hard to expand civics education within the county. We are currently working on the logistics of rewarding a "County Seal of Civic Engagement" to area schools, expanding partnerships with civically engaged organizations, and ensuring diversity is emphasized in our efforts.
