In five years, the Houston ISD will increase the percentage of students who meet or exceed the state standards in STAAR testing by 15 points — if the HISD Board of Managers adopts some really ambitions numbers in its goals settings.
In the four-hour public meeting, attended by almost no one, there were two aspects of the workshop that might surprise frequent onlookers. One is that the board is taking setting its goals very seriously, spending a lot of time to parse sentences as they struggled over precise wording of what their mission would be.
An unbelievably positive Ashly Paz, the board's veteran coach of mission statements and goals, led the members through their paces, only occasionally reminding them that while"You can do what you want," but such and such would be a bad idea. Parent Shelley Gonzales talked to the board about the tentative language it is using about teachers in its constraints section, arguing that she's not sure what their use of the word"strong" means."Just filling slots isn't good enough, They need to be filled with people who are competent and experienced," she said.
"Equipping our students with the knowledge and skills that will allow them to be critical thinker, leaders and contributing members of our community who have choice-filled lives in a globally competitive environment."
