00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:05,500
We have an amazing team of educators standing 
in the midst of promise to purpose for our 
students. Learn more next.

2
00:00:05,510 --> 00:00:15,200
In Klein ISD, we share a vision that EVERY 
student enters with a promise and exits with 
a purpose...

3
00:00:15,210 --> 00:00:19,800
...by focusing on pathways, challenge, equity, 
leadership, and continuous improvement.

4
00:00:19,810 --> 00:00:26,900
A critical part of making  the shared vision 
a reality for EVERY student is the work we’re 
doing on our Promise2Purpose Foundation Plan...

5
00:00:26,910 --> 00:00:31,300
...particularly our focus on EQUITY led by 
our guiding coalitions.

6
00:00:31,310 --> 00:00:39,950
These guiding coalitions  are passionate, 
solution-oriented teams known for their ability 
to transform “why we can't” into “how we 
can”.

7
00:00:39,950 --> 00:00:40,950
Here's a quick update on our work.

8
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:48,200
Last fall we launched two guiding coalitions 
focused on meeting the needs of our special 
education students and English Language Learners.

9
00:00:48,210 --> 00:00:52,900
Not only have these two incredible teams 
been busy improving our system for students...

10
00:00:52,910 --> 00:00:58,500
...we’ve also launched a third guiding coalition 
focused on meeting the needs of our gifted 
and talented students.

11
00:00:58,510 --> 00:01:06,010
Each guiding coalition has targeted and measurable 
improvement goals and is in the midst of 
carrying out specific action plans to ensure 
each goal is met.

12
00:01:06,010 --> 00:01:10,010
For example, since we know the greatest impact 
on student success is quality teaching...

13
00:01:10,010 --> 00:01:16,500
...our Special Education and ELL Guiding 
Coalitions are  working to support teachers 
with quality professional learning.

14
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:30,100
The Special Education Guiding Coalition created 
a series of professional learning resources 
showcasing outstanding Klein teachers in 
action using best practices for meeting the 
needs of students with learning disabilities, 
autism, and behavioral challenges.

15
00:01:30,110 --> 00:01:40,800
Our ELL Guiding Coalition developed a series 
of professional learning opportunities aligned 
to the annual goals and a repository of high-yield 
strategies to guide differentiation in the 
curriculum.

16
00:01:40,810 --> 00:01:46,300
They're also helping campuses set up their 
own ELL Action Teams targeting specific ELL 
needs.

17
00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:55,900
Our GT Guiding Coalition got to work in January, 
responding to feedback  gathered in late 
2016 via  a GT Parent survey and visits with 
GT teachers and students.

18
00:01:55,910 --> 00:02:14,600
This team is already at work implementing 
campus support plans for the remainder of 
this school year and redesigning GT services 
for next school year, while creating a variety 
of GT Research Pathways, giving students 
meaningful and personalized options beyond 
the traditional research project, also known 
as TPSP.

00:02:14,610 --> 00:02:20,980

coalitions by visiting our Promise2Purpose

20
00:02:20,980 --> 00:02:27,500
I am thankful for these outstanding educators 
on our Guiding Coalitions serving EVERY student 
on the journey from promise to purpose.

21
00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:30,600
That’s 90 news for now seconds. See you next 
time!
