00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:05,200
We have an important guest with us today 
to talk about our Profile of a Learner guiding 
document, next!

2
00:00:05,210 --> 00:00:09,010


3
00:00:09,010 --> 00:00:14,100
I mentioned last week that the Board of Trustees 
approved the guiding documents that provide 
the support...

4
00:00:14,110 --> 00:00:19,700
...for the shared vision of every student 
in Klein ISD entering with a promise and 
exiting with a purpose.

5
00:00:19,710 --> 00:00:23,300
This week, we'll take a closer look at the 
Klein ISD Profile of a Learner.

6
00:00:23,310 --> 00:00:26,300
Because students are at the center of all 
that we do...

7
00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:32,000
...defining what we want each student to 
know and be able to do is critical to their...and 
our...success.

8
00:00:32,010 --> 00:00:38,100
A Klein ISD learner is a Pathway Explorer, 
an Equipped Scholar, a Values-Driven Leader 
and a Forever Learner.

9
00:00:38,110 --> 00:00:43,800
Each of these strands are further clarified, 
so I wanted you to hear from a current Klein 
ISD learner.

10
00:00:43,810 --> 00:00:48,700
Join me in welcoming Ian Tonroy, who's currently 
a senior at Klein High School.

11
00:00:48,710 --> 00:00:51,600
Ian, welcome to 90 Seconds news. Glad to 
have you here.

12
00:00:51,610 --> 00:00:55,000
Now Ian, you know we're taking a deeper dive 
into the Profile of a Learner.

13
00:00:55,010 --> 00:00:57,500
And what that looks like. And we thought 
that it would be great to hear from a student.

14
00:00:57,510 --> 00:01:01,400
About how it kind of fits in. So Ian, what 
are your plans next year?

15
00:01:01,410 --> 00:01:07,300
(Ian) Well I'm really happy and fortunate 
to be going to Texas A&M University next 
year.

16
00:01:07,310 --> 00:01:12,990
(Bret) Awesome. (Ian) And I believe I will 
be in the course study area of Political 
Science.

17
00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:15,990
(Bret) Political Science at A&M, that's very 
exciting.

18
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:23,300
So as we think about this notion as you're 
exiting our system...we talk about 4 particular 
strands in that Profile of a Learner.

19
00:01:23,310 --> 00:01:26,100
And the first one we talk about is Pathway 
Explorer.

20
00:01:26,110 --> 00:01:30,300
And with Pathway Explorer, we talk about 
someone who is relentlessly pursuing excellence.

21
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:32,200
So when you think about that, what comes 
to mind?

22
00:01:32,210 --> 00:01:37,600
(Ian)Well, Klein ISD has really helped me 
in a lot of ways.

23
00:01:37,610 --> 00:01:40,100
Particularly in the area of Theatre.

24
00:01:40,110 --> 00:01:45,900
I came in my freshman year and really wanted 
to excel at it.

25
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:50,100
And do well with it. But I had many areas 
to work on.

26
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:51,400
I still have many areas to work on.

27
00:01:51,410 --> 00:01:56,300
But I wasn't that strong of a singer and 
with the acting on stage...

28
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:58,600
...that needed some work too.

29
00:01:58,610 --> 00:02:06,200
And my peers and my teachers were really 
to walk me through and help me improve in 
that area.

30
00:02:06,210 --> 00:02:11,010
(Bret) Awesome. Well for those who don't 
know, Ian is nominated for Best Actor at 
the Tommy Tune awards.

31
00:02:11,010 --> 00:02:17,100
This very day, we're filming this. And I 
can tell you though, that you set a goal 
and you clearly achieved it.

32
00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:19,980
That's incredible. Relentlessly pursuing 
excellence.

33
00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:20,600
Love that! (Ian) Thank You.

34
00:02:20,610 --> 00:02:22,010
(Bret) The second strand we talked about 
is Equipped Scholar.

35
00:02:22,010 --> 00:02:29,100
The idea that you're thoroughly prepared 
for future success by some particular thing.

36
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:31,980
So as you think about Equipped Scholar, what 
comes to mind?

37
00:02:31,980 --> 00:02:41,100
(Ian) Yes sir. Well, the district and the 
whole learning environment, really kind of 
breeds an attitude and a way of learning...

38
00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:45,100
...that you're always thinking about things 
that you're pursuing...

39
00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:49,300
in a different light than conventional learners 
would.

40
00:02:49,310 --> 00:02:53,800
You're able to analyze and examine things 
in a problem solving manner.

41
00:02:53,810 --> 00:02:56,600
And I think that's really helpful. (Bret) 
Yeah, there you go.

42
00:02:56,610 --> 00:02:59,200
(Bret) Something for you to take forward. 
(Ian) Yes, Absolutely.

43
00:02:59,210 --> 00:03:05,000
(Bret)The third strand...and you've already 
actually touched on this...The idea of a 
Values-Driven Leader.

44
00:03:05,010 --> 00:03:10,200
We want our learners to be unwaveringly commutted 
to serving the greater good.

45
00:03:10,210 --> 00:03:14,700
And you've already touched on some of that 
as you talked about some humility and the 
fact that...

46
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:18,900
...it's interdependence. Right? That it's 
with a whole bunch of folks that you achieved 
your goal.

47
00:03:18,910 --> 00:03:19,900
(Ian) Yes, absolutely.

48
00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:21,200
(Bret) As you think about that Values Driven 
Leader, what comes to mind?

49
00:03:21,210 --> 00:03:25,400
(Ian) Well I think just at Klein, and I'm 
sure at all the other schools in the district...

50
00:03:25,410 --> 00:03:32,700
...the environment that's created is one 
of where everybody's able to connect together 
and help each other out.

51
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:37,500
Good values are really put into play.

52
00:03:37,510 --> 00:03:43,200
Encouragement, respect of one another. Being 
able to help and work with each other.

53
00:03:43,210 --> 00:03:47,900
And be honest and kind and gracious.

54
00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:51,900
(Bret) That's awesome. And we have great 
families in Klein ISD who certainly help 
with that as well.

55
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:53,200
(Ian) Yes. (Bret) That's terrific.

56
00:03:53,210 --> 00:03:55,700
And the last strand is Forever Learner.

57
00:03:55,710 --> 00:03:59,400
An insatiable desire to continue to learn 
and improve.

58
00:03:59,410 --> 00:04:01,900
So when you think about that, Ian, tell us 
about it.

59
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:03,900
(Ian) Well, just my whole experience with 
Klein...

60
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:06,400
...going from elementary school to middle 
school...to high school...

61
00:04:06,410 --> 00:04:10,900
It really has prepared me to move on to the 
next step. (Bret) Yep.

62
00:04:10,910 --> 00:04:18,030
(Ian) To move on to college and then later 
on into life.

63
00:04:18,030 --> 00:04:22,700
It's really prepared me step by step with 
all the tools that I need to be a successful 
person in the real world.

64
00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:28,030
(Bret) The idea of finding something, then 
learning more about it, and continuing to 
move forward. (Ian) Yes sir.

65
00:04:28,030 --> 00:04:32,000
(Bret) Well described. Well Ian thank you 
for being here to day.

66
00:04:32,010 --> 00:04:34,000
(Ian) Thank you for having me.

67
00:04:34,010 --> 00:04:37,030
(Bret) As everybody can now see, we have 
a great example of what does a Profile of 
a Learner look like in Klein ISD.

68
00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:43,300
I'm so excited, as together we work to ensure 
that every student enters with a promise...

69
00:04:43,310 --> 00:04:47,500
...and exits with a purpose. And we bring 
this whole notion of Profile of a Learner 
to life.

70
00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:52,960
Next week, I'm excited to dive into the Klein 
ISD Profile of a Leader.

71
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,030
But for now, that's Klein ISD in WAY MORE 
than 90 Seconds.

72
00:04:56,030 --> 00:05:00,000
