SAN BRUNO PARK SCHOOL DISTRICT Implementation Of New Curricular And Instructional Initiatives
July 9, 2018. The District’s vision to transform its schools into Schools with Tomorrow Inside is twofold: to create 21st century learning centers that are necessary for students to be successful in a global economy, and to raise academic achievement and engage students in programs and curriculum that inspire them now to be productive critical thinkers who embrace diversity, curiosity, and innovation throughout their lives. The following new initiatives will be implemented in the 2018-2019 school year.

In preparation for the careers of the future, students at John Muir and Allen Elementary Schools will integrate the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics into learning based on real-world applications. Using inquiry-based and problem-based learning based upon the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), students will begin to develop the skills, mindset and interest to prepare them for the competitive careers of the 21st century.
Students at both Allen and Belle Air Elementary Schools will begin the first phase of implementation of the Sobrato Early Academic Language (SEAL) model, which is designed to build the capacity of elementary schools to powerfully develop the language and literacy skills of students from kindergarten to the third grade, particularly English language learners. An instructional model, SEAL will provide significant professional development and coaching for Belle Air and Allen teachers.

At Parkside Intermediate School, the District will collaborate with Partners in School Innovation, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization that works with school districts and teachers to narrow the achievement gap. Partners in Education will support the transformation of Parkside into a 21st century school. The District’s goal is to better align the academic programs at Parkside in order to ensure that all Parkside eighth graders enter high school with the knowledge and skills to be able to participate in any program of their choosing.
Funding to implement the SEAL and Partners in School Innovation is made possible by a $250,000 strategic grant from San Bruno Community Foundation to San Bruno Education Foundation to support the District’s mission and vision.
