AND AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE DOCTOR UNIQUE AND RUTH RUTH UP AND SHE WILL BE DISCUSSING THE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT SURVEYS, SO SHE'S GOING TO TELL YOU I SEE THE STUDENTS KIND OF SCATTERED THROUGHOUT. THIS IS SURVEYS THAT I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE ANSWERED, SO PAY ATTENTION, AND YOU CAN TAKE THIS INFORMATION BACK TO YOUR SCHOOLS. PLEASE HELP ME. WELCOME DR. UNIQUE SORRY TO STUDY UP. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M REALLY EXCITED TO BE HERE TO SHARE THE RESULTS OF THE STUDENT ENGAGEMENTS ARE RAISED WITH YOU ALL. THIS WAS INFORMATION THAT WAS SHARED WITH THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES LAST MONTH AS WELL, SO WE'LL JUST KIND OF BE ZOOMING IN ON JUST THE STUDENT PORTION OF THAT. SO I KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT THE SURVEY LOOKED LIKE SOME OF THE KEY FINDINGS AND ALSO BE ABLE TO TAKE SOME QUESTIONS AT THE END. HMM. SO WITH OUR STUDENT ENGAGEMENT SURVEY, THIS IS ACTUALLY OUR THIRD YEAR OF ADMINISTRATION FOR OUR SECONDARY STUDENTS, SO STUDENTS IN GRADES SIX THROUGH 12 HAVE TAKEN IT FOR THREE YEARS, AND OUR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS HAVE ACTUALLY TAKEN IT FOR TWO YEARS, AND THAT WOULD BE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS IN GRADES THREE THROUGH FIVE. WE KIND OF LOOK AT THIS STUDENT ENGAGEMENT SURVEY RESULTS WHAT I'LL BE SHARING WITH YOU ARE SOME KEY FINDINGS AND TRENDS. SO WHAT ARE THE PATTERNS THAT WE NOTICED? AND THEN AFTERWARDS I'LL BE SHARING SOME OF THE NEXT STEPS. SO WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT THE DISTRICT HAS IDENTIFIED THAT WE WANT TO ADDRESS MOVING FORWARD AND WHAT'S THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE USING TO HELP ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE KEY FINDINGS? SO AS I KIND OF BEGIN JUST TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION IN TERMS OF HOW WE DEFINE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN FORT BEND SD. UM WHEN WE LOOK AT MEASURING THAT WE REALLY LOOK AT WHAT ARE CALLED THREE DIMENSIONS . SO WE LOOK AT BEHAVIORAL ENGAGEMENT, WHICH IS HOW STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES ON CAMPUS. SO THIS COULD BE CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS . THIS COULD BE ATHLETICS THOSE TYPES OF EVENTS THERE. WE ALSO LOOK AT THEIR EMOTIONAL ENGAGEMENT. SO HOW DO THEY INTERACT WITH ADULTS AND PEERS ON THEIR CAMPUS AS WELL AS HOW DO THEY FEEL ABOUT BEING AT SCHOOL? AND THEN THE THIRD DIMENSION THAT WE LOOK AT IS THEIR COGNITIVE ENGAGEMENT. SO HOW INVESTED OUR STUDENTS IN THEIR LEARNING? HOW MUCH DO THEY ENJOY THEIR LEARNING? HOW MUCH DO THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE GETTING OUT OF THEIR LEARNING. WHEN I SHARE THE INFORMATION HERE, I'M ACTUALLY GONNA BREAK IT INTO TWO PIECES. I'LL SHARE THE INFORMATION FROM THE SECONDARY STUDENTS AND THEN I'LL SHARE THE INFORMATION FROM THE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS AS WELL. YOU LOOK OVERALL IN FORT BEND SD. WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 45,000 SECONDARY STUDENTS IN FOUR BEND. UM LAST YEAR WE HAD 24,319 STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN THE SURVEY. UM, THIS IS BASED OUT OF STUDENTS WHO WERE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE. SO WHEN PARENTS ENROLL STUDENTS, ONE OF THE OPTIONS IS TO GIVE PERMISSION FOR STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN SURVEYS. AND THAT TYPE OF THING THERE. SO THOSE 24,000 STUDENTS REPRESENTED APPROXIMATELY 69% OF ALL OF THE ELIGIBLE STUDENTS WHO WERE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE. AND THIS WAS A DECREASE IN THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS, BUT WE ACTUALLY HAD ABOUT 1000. MORE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE THIS PAST YEAR THAN WE HAD THE YEAR BEFORE , BECAUSE WE HAD MORE STUDENTS WHOSE PARENTS OPTED IN TO BE ABLE TO ALLOW STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE. ON THE CHART ON THE RIGHT. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE REPRESENTATION ACROSS THE DIFFERENT STUDENT GROUPS IN THE DISTRICT SO YOU CAN SEE THAT WHAT THE COMPOSITION IS FOR ALL OF THE SECONDARY FORTMAN STUDENTS AS WELL AS THOSE FOR THE STUDENTS WHO ACTUALLY PARTICIPATED IN THE SURVEY. SO HOPEFULLY WHAT YOU'LL SEE THERE IS THAT OUR RESULTS WERE FAIRLY REPRESENTATIVE. WE HAD A GOOD COMPARATIVE GROUP COMPARED TO THE OVERALL A STUDENT POPULATION. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE ACTUAL INDIVIDUAL DIMENSIONS, SO THE WAY THE SURVEY IS SET UP IS THAT THE SURVEY IS ACTUALLY BROKEN INTO THREE PARTS AND THE QUESTIONS SOME OF THEM CONNECT TO SPECIFIC DIMENSIONS. AND THOSE COME FROM BOTH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THE HIGH SCHOOL SURVEY FOR STUDENT ENGAGEMENT.THE NATIONALLY NORM SURVEY THAT HAS QUESTIONS THAT CORRESPOND DIRECTLY TO THOSE CATEGORIES. UM AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL, WE DID ADD ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS TO COLLECT INFORMATION FROM STUDENTS ABOUT LIKE STUDENT OWNERSHIP OF LEARNING. WE ASKED THEM ABOUT BEHAVIOR, HEALTH AND WELLNESS THIS YEAR AND SOME OTHER QUESTIONS THAT HELP US AND GETTING INFORMATION ABOUT SOME DISTRICT PRIORITIES. WHEN YOU LOOK HERE WHAT HOW STUDENTS ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS AS THEY WOULD RESPOND WITH AN ANSWER, AND WE WOULD ASSIGN THAT A VALUE OF 1 TO 4. SO IF YOU SAID, YOU STRONGLY AGREED WITH SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE ASSIGNED A VALUE OF FOUR WHERE IF YOU STRONGLY
[00:10:04]
DISAGREED WITH SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE ASSIGNED A VALUE OF ONE SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SHORT RIGHT HERE, WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT THE OVERALL SCORED, THAT WOULD BE THE AVERAGE FOR ALL OF THE QUESTIONS IN THAT CATEGORY. SO FOR BEHAVIORAL ENGAGEMENT, THAT AVERAGE WAS 2.78. THAT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT A 5% DROP FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR, WHICH MEANS THAT WE SAW LOWER BEHAVIORAL ENGAGEMENT THAN WE HAD IN PREVIOUS YEARS. YOU LOOK AT EMOTIONAL ENGAGEMENT AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT WAS AT 2.82, WHICH ALSO REPRESENTED ABOUT A 1 TO 2% DROP COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR, AND OUR COGNITIVE ENGAGEMENT DROPPED SLIGHTLY AS WELL. IN ORDER TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS NUMBER MEANS. WE WANT TO LOOK AT THE ENGAGEMENT SCORE SCALES. YOU CAN SEE THAT KIND OF CHART ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. SO EVEN THOUGH THE NUMBERS DID DROP FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR, HE'LL NOTICE THAT ALL OF OUR ENGAGEMENT LEVELS ARE IN THAT MODERATE RANGE FOR SECONDARY STUDENTS, SO WE ALWAYS WANT TO SHOOT TO BE HIGHER. BUT OUR SCORES WERE KIND OF IN THAT MODERATE. WE WANT TO KIND OF SHOOT AND MOVE THOSE INTO THE HIGH ENGAGEMENT LEVEL. WHEN WE LOOK AT KIND OF ZOOM IN ON EACH OF THOSE DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS, WHAT I'M GOING TO SHARE OUR AREAS OF STRENGTH IN AREAS OF CONCERN. SO HOW WE IDENTIFIED WHAT THOSE WERE AS AREAS OF STRENGTH OR SOMETHING THAT WE SAW A POSITIVE CHANGE, OR WE SAW GROWTH IN AREAS OF CONCERN DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT IT WAS A BAD SCORE OR A LOW SCORE. BUT WE MIGHT HAVE SEEN A DECREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR OR SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO KEEP IN MIND TO CONTINUALLY ADDRESS AS WE MOVE FORWARD. SO IN TERMS OF BEHAVIORAL ENGAGEMENT FOR SECONDARY STUDENTS, ONE AREA OF STRENGTH THAT WE IDENTIFIED IS THAT TEACHERS WERE IDENTIFIED AS MORE AS A POSITIVE MOTIVATION FOR STUDENTS TO ATTEND SCHOOL COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS. PREVIOUSLY PARENTS AND FRIENDS WERE ONE OF THE STRONGEST MOTIVATORS. BUT THIS YEAR WE SAW AN INCREASE IN TEACHERS BEING THAT MOTIVATOR. SOME AREAS OF CONCERN WHERE WE SAW SOME DROPS OR DECREASES IN TIME SPENT AND PARTICIPATING IN SCHOOL ACTIVITIES, SO THERE WAS LESS PARTICIPATION IN CLUBS AND ORGANIZATION. UM, AND THEY FELT THAT THEIR SCHOOLS CONTRIBUTED LESS AND LEARNING HOW TO TREAT OTHERS WITH RESPECT, SO THOSE WERE DROPS THAT WE HAD IDENTIFIED FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. IN TERMS OF EMOTIONAL ENGAGEMENT, SO THIS IS THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH PEERS AND ADULTS ON CAMPUS AS WELL AS HOW THEY FELT AT SCHOOL. UM SOME OF THE AREAS OF CONCERN OR DROPS THAT WE SAW WERE THINGS WITH POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH SCHOOL STAFF AND OTHER STUDENTS.SO HOW COMFORTABLE DID THEY FEEL TALKING TO OTHER STUDENTS? HOW WELL DO THEY FIT IN STUDENTS? ALSO, WE SAW DROPS IN THEIR FEELINGS OF SAFETY. SO HOW SAFE DO THEY FEEL AT SCHOOL OR HOW ACCEPTED DID THEY FEEL? UM STUDENTS REPORTED ALSO HAVING A DECREASE IN THE AVAILABILITY OF SUPPORT FROM STAFF. THIS WAS STILL AT A PRETTY HIGH LEVEL, BUT WE DID SEE A DECREASE COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR. I THINK IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 78 TO 85% OF STUDENTS SAID THEY FELT LIKE THEY HAD ADULTS THAT THEY COULD GO TO, BUT THERE WAS A SLIGHT DROP FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. UM AND THEN STUDENTS REPORTED THAT THE THERE WAS A DECREASE IN THE CONSISTENCY OF APPLICATION OF RULES AND DISCIPLINE COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR. ONE OF THE AREAS OF STRENGTH THAT WE SAW THAT WE SAW MORE GROWTH IN WAS THAT STUDENTS INDICATED THEY HAVE A REALLY HIGH DESIRE TO GET GOOD GRADES AND WANTED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE WORLD ONCE THEY LEFT SCHOOL, SO WHEN THEY GOT TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD, THEY WANTED TO BE MORE SUCCESSFUL WITH THAT. IN TERMS OF COGNITIVE ENGAGEMENT. THIS IS WHERE STUDENTS ARE INTERACTING WITH THEIR LEARNING. HOW DID THEY FEEL? HOW ARE THEY MOTIVATED IN ORDER TO DO WELL? WE DID SEE, UM ARE AREAS OF CONCERN WHERE STUDENTS EXPRESSED A DECREASE IN THE RELEVANCE OF THE LEARNING.
THEY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT CONNECTED AS WELL. TWO THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD AND WE'RE LESS INTERESTED IN THOSE PARTICULAR LEARNING ACTIVITIES THAT WERE HAPPENING. UM STUDENTS ALSO REPORTED THAT THEY DIDN'T FEEL AS CHALLENGED WITH SOME OF THE CURRICULUM MATERIALS THAT THEY WERE PRESENTED WITH. THE THINGS DIDN'T CHALLENGE THEM TO THEIR FULL POTENTIAL, SO THERE'S DEFINITELY ROOM FOR GROWTH THERE IN TERMS OF HELPING TO MOTIVATE STUDENTS, AS WELL AS MAKING THEM FEEL MORE CONNECTED TO THE LEARNING THAT THEY'RE ENGAGING IN. ON THE POSITIVE SIDE. WITH THAT WE SAW STUDENTS REPORTED THAT THEY WERE GIVING MORE OF AN EFFORT TOWARDS THEIR ACADEMIC. SO EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T FEEL CONNECTED TO THEM, STUDENTS WERE TRYING MORE IN ORDER TO DO WELL. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE DISTRICT HAD IDENTIFIED AS A GOAL FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR WAS WE HAD, UH, STUDENTS. YOU HAD REPORTED THAT THEY DIDN'T FEEL THAT ADULTS WERE CONNECTING WITH THEM ABOUT THEIR COLLEGE AND CAREER GOALS, AND WE DID EMPHASIZE WITH SOME SPECIFIC STRATEGIES LAST YEAR BEING SO HOPEFULLY HELP YOU GROW WITH IT, AND WE DID SEE AN INCREASE IN ENGAGEMENT WITH STUDENTS TRYING TO DEFINE WHETHER ACADEMIC GOALS WERE AFTER THEY GET OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL SO MORE STUDENTS REPORTED BEING ABLE TO TALK TO AN ADULT ABOUT THEIR CAREER IN COLLEGE GOALS. THIS YEAR THAN THEY HAD IN PREVIOUS YEARS. IF WE SHIFT YOUR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS, SO ELEMENTARY STUDENTS IN GRADES THREE THROUGH FIVE WERE THE ONES WHO WERE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SURVEY. THIS SURVEY WAS ACTUALLY DEVELOPED FROM THE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT INSTRUMENT, SO IT'S A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SURVEY THAN THE ONE FOR SECONDARY STUDENTS. OBVIOUSLY, THE STRUCTURE OF THE SURVEY WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT'S A STUDENT'S GRADE THREE THROUGH FIVE. UH IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE AND MAKE SURE THAT READING LEVEL WASN'T A BARRIER FOR STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE. THESE UM, THE SURVEY WAS ACTUALLY READ ALOUD. IT'S ALL STUDENTS THAT THEY HAD ACCESS AND CAN UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE QUESTIONS AND THEY COULD ASK CLARIFYING CLARIFICATION IF THEY NEEDED TO. OF THE APPROXIMATELY 17,000 FORT BEND STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE IN GRADES THREE THROUGH FIVE. WE HAD 11,000 STUDENTS
[00:15:05]
THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE SURVEY, WHICH REPRESENTED ABOUT 88% OF ALL ELIGIBLE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED AND SIMILAR TO THE SECONDARY STUDENTS. YOU CAN SEE THE CHART ON THE RIGHT SHOWS AGAIN THAT REPRESENTATION FROM THE OVERALL ELEMENTARY FBI C STUDENTS AND THEN THE STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE SURVEY. SO AS WE LOOK AT THE DIMENSIONS FOR OUR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS, ONE IMPORTANT NOTE HERE IS THAT THE BEHAVIORAL ENGAGEMENT WAS ACTUALLY NOT PART OF THE VALIDATED INSTRUMENT. SO THE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT INSTRUMENT FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS REALLY ONLY GAVE US INFORMATION ON THE EMOTIONAL AND COGNITIVE ENGAGEMENT. THAT WAS REALLY A NATIONALLY NORMED. WE INCLUDED QUESTIONS FROM THE BEHAVIORAL ENGAGEMENT SO THAT WE COULD KIND OF COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES BETWEEN ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY STUDENTS. UM KIND OF LOOKING AT THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SCORES FOR EMOTIONAL AND COGNITIVE ENGAGEMENT, YOU CAN SEE THAT BOTH OF THOSE ARE ACTUALLY AT THAT HIGH LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS. SO THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE AS WE MOVE FORWARD, BECAUSE WE'LL HIGHLIGHT AREAS OF CONCERN, BUT FOR ALL OF THE ELEMENTARY RESPONSES THAT WERE REALLY STRONG RESPONSES WHERE STUDENTS WERE IN HIGH LEVELS OF AGREEMENT, SO THOSE AREAS OF CONCERN DON'T MEAN THAT THEY WERE LOW. IT JUST MEANS WE MIGHT HAVE SEEN A DROP FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. BUT WE STILL MIGHT BE TALKING ABOUT 88 TO 90% OF STUDENTS WHO EITHER AGREED OR STRONGLY AGREED WITH A COMMENT OR STATEMENT IN THE SURVEY. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE SAW WITH BEHAVIORAL ENGAGEMENT. WE DID ASK STUDENTS ABOUT HOW PREPARED THEY FELT TO ENGAGE IN THEIR LEARNING AND ACROSS THE BOARD. I THINK THIS HAS BEEN AROUND 97% OF STUDENTS SAID THAT THEY FELT PREPARED FOR LEARNING EVERY DAY.SO THAT WAS A REALLY STRONG REPRESENTATION OF THE PREP WORK REALLY THAT THE COMMUNITY DOES TO HELP STUDENTS BE READY TO ENGAGE IN THAT LEARNING. UM SOME OF THE AREAS OF CONCERN SIMILAR TO THE SECONDARY STUDENTS AS WE DID SEE THAT ELEMENTARY STUDENTS HAD A DECREASE IN THEIR PARTICIPATION IN SCHOOL ACTIVITIES AGAIN. WE'RE NOT SURE IF THIS IS A POST COVID TREND, BUT ACROSS BOTH ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY, WE DID SEE FEWER STUDENTS WHO SAID THAT THEY WERE PARTICIPATING AS OFTEN IN CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS AT SCHOOL. IN TERMS OF EMOTIONAL ENGAGEMENT.
WE SAW GROWTH IN HOW STUDENTS REPORTED GETTING SUPPORT FROM MULTIPLE LEVELS. SO THEY REPORTED HIGH LEVELS OF SUPPORT FROM THEIR FAMILY PEERS AND TEACHERS IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THEIR LEARNING. WE DID SEE DROPS IN SOME OF THEIR INDICATIONS FOR RELATIONSHIPS THAT THEY HAVE WITH SCHOOL STAFF AND OTHER STUDENTS. AND THIS IS THINGS LIKE BEING ABLE TO GO TO AN ADULT FOR SUPPORT, FEELING LIKE THEY'RE ABLE TO CONNECT WITH OTHER STUDENTS. THESE WERE STILL VERY HIGH NUMBERS IN THE EIGHTIES AND NINETIES, BUT WE DID SEE A SLIGHT DECREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. FOR FEELINGS OF SAFETY AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS WAS 87% OF ELEMENTARY STUDENTS SAID THAT THEY FELT SAFE AT SCHOOL, BUT IT WAS JUST LIKE DECREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. UM, STUDENTS DID ALSO REPORTS LATE DROPS IN THEIR PERCEPTIONS OF HOW FAIR THEY FELT THAT TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS WERE WITH RESPECT TO DISCIPLINE AND BEING CONSISTENT WITH THAT, AND, UH, WE SAW DECREASES IN THE AMOUNT OF PERSONAL SUPPORT THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO GET TO THE STUDENT HAD A PERSONAL ISSUE RATHER THAN AN EDUCATIONAL ISSUE. THEY FELT THAT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO CONNECT TO ADULTS AS MUCH AS THEY HAD IN PREVIOUS YEARS. WITH COGNITIVE ENGAGEMENT. WE ACTUALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANY AREAS OF CONCERN BECAUSE ALWAYS ALWAYS POSITIVE GROWTH IN THIS AREA FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS, AND THAT WAS REALLY POSITIVE AND IN PARTICULAR THE AREAS THAT WE SAW STUDENTS AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL WERE MORE MOTIVATED TO LEARN, AND THEY SAW STRONGER CONNECTIONS TO THEIR COLLEGE CAREER AND FUTURE GOALS. SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN REALLY CAPITALIZE ON AS THE STUDENTS START TO MOVE FROM ELEMENTARY TO MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL. SO AS WE LOOKED AT ALL OF THESE RESULTS, AND WE ACTUALLY COORDINATED THIS WITH THE RESULTS FROM OUR CULTURE AND CLIMATE SURVEY AS WELL, BUT THE DISTRICT IDENTIFIED FOUR KEY AREAS THAT WE WANTED TO FOCUS ON AS WE THINK ABOUT OUR DISTRICT AND OUR CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS. THOSE THINGS WERE MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO ADDRESS SAFETY AND BEHAVIOR. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE THINK ABOUT STRATEGIES TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS IMPROVE THAT EMOTIONAL CONNECTION THAT STUDENTS FEEL WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT STUDENTS HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT SUPPORT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO, UM SO WE KNOW WE HAVE LOTS OF SUPPORT OPPORTUNITIES, BUT ALL STUDENTS MAY NOT BE AWARE OF WHAT SUPPORT THERE ABLE TO GET. AND THEN LASTLY, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO IMPROVE THEIR COGNITIVE ENGAGEMENT, MEANING DESIGNING LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT HELP THEM CONNECT BACK TO THAT REAL WORLD KIND OF EXPERIENCE OR THAT POST SECONDARY KIND OF EXPERIENCE. SO THIS INFORMATION WAS SHARED BOTH THE DISTRICT AND CAMPUS LEADERS. SO THERE WAS AN OVERALL DISTRICT REPORT. AND THEN EACH CAMPUS GOT AN INDIVIDUALIZED REPORT WITH THEIR RESULTS FROM THEIR STUDENTS ON THEIR CAMPUS. THIS INFORMATION WAS USED TO HELP DEVELOP THE DISTRICT IN THE CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS, AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL STRATEGIES TO HELP US KIND OF ACHIEVE THAT, AS WE MOVE INTO THE NEXT YEAR. SO THAT IS KIND OF THE KEY INFORMATION FROM THAT, BUT I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THIS STRUCTURE.
INFORMATION FROM THE SURVEY. YEAH. FOR THIS THE PURPOSE OF THIS SURVEY. WE DIDN'T REALLY LOOK AT THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THOSE THIS WAS REALLY JUST BASED ON THE STUDENT PERCEPTIONS. SO STUDENTS THE QUESTION, I BELIEVE WAS HOW MUCH TIME EACH WEEK DO
[00:20:03]
YOU SPEND PARTICIPATING IN CLUBS OR ACTIVITIES AND THE RANGE WAS LESS THAN AN HOUR A WEEK BETWEEN 2 TO 3 HOURS A WEEK FOR 25 KIND OF SO FORTH, SO I GAVE THEM A SCALE AND MORE STUDENTS REPORTED SPENDING LESS THAN AN HOUR A WEEK IN CLUBS OR ACTIVITIES AND THEY HAD IN PREVIOUS YEARS. I'M SORRY. YOUR QUESTION WAS, DID WE LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL TO SEE IF THERE WAS A CHANGE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR, AND HOW MANY WE HAD.NO OTHER QUESTIONS. MORE STUDENTS SAID THEY SPENT MORE TIME AT CLUBS QUESTION ON THE SURVEY WAS ACTUALLY SPECIFICALLY PHRASE OF HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND ENGAGED IN CLUBS OR ACTIVITIES DURING THE SCHOOL WEEK, AND I BELIEVE THE BREAKDOWN WAS LESSON AN HOUR 2 TO 3 HOURS 4 TO 5, OR MORE THAN EIGHT WAS THEY BREAKDOWN FOR STUDENTS? EXCEPT THEY HAD BEEN THERE IN PRO PROBLEM. WE HAD TOO MANY ON THE HIGH END. WE MIGHT BE CONCERNED THAT THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE OVER ENGAGED. YES. THE SORT OF CURIOSITY IT IS IT AN ANONYMOUS SURVEY OR ARE THE NAMES OR SOMETHING TAKEN? DID THE THINKING THAT IF IT CAME THROUGH LIKE THE ELEMENTARY KIDS CAN BE THE ONES WHO ARE THEN SURVEYED IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, SO WE KNOW HOW THEIR PERCEPTIONS HAVE CHANGED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT IS NOT AN ANONYMOUS SURVEY. IT WAS A CONFIDENTIAL SURVEY SO THAT WE COULD MATCH UPS. YOU DIDN'T DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND LOOKING AT THOSE COMPARATIVE LONG TERM TRENDS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. IN KIND OF A BIG DATA ANALYSIS PICTURE. HOW CAN WE TRACK INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS ACROSS THAT? I DON'T KNOW THAT I NEEDED WITH YOUR PROCESS SO WELL DONE. MAYBE THAT'S WHY THERE AREN'T THAT MANY QUESTIONS. PERHAPS BUT, UM, MY QUESTION IS ULTIMATELY. WHAT HAPPENS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT, WHO'S IN CHARGE OF THEN POSITIVE CHANGES? GOOD QUESTION. SO AS THE DISTRICT LEADERS ACTUALLY WORK TO DEVELOP THE DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO IS WE DEVELOP NOT ONLY OUR PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES, BUT WE IDENTIFY SOME KEY METRICS THAT WILL USE TO TELL US WHETHER OR NOT THE STRATEGIES THAT WERE IMPLEMENTING OR MAKING POSITIVE CHANGE. UM, AND JUST THIS PAST MONDAY, I THINK ON THE 16TH, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ACTUALLY APPROVED OUR PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES. SO ONE OF THE DOCUMENTS THEY'RE ACTUALLY SHARE SOME OF THE INDICATORS THAT WE'RE GOING TO USE TO MONITOR THAT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE FROM THAT ARE ELEMENTS FROM BOTH THE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT SURVEY IN THE CULTURE AND CLIMATE SURVEY THAT WE'RE REALLY TRACKING AND USING STRATEGIES TO SEE. DO WE SEE A CHANGE IN THIS FROM YEAR TO YEAR? UM I WAS JUST WONDERING WHY YOU WERE ASKING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS LIKE THEIR FUTURE CAREERS AND COLLEGES. THOSE PARTICULAR QUESTIONS WERE REALLY ASKING THEM LIKE, ARE THEY EXCITED ABOUT THEIR FUTURE? ARE THERE THINGS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO? OR HAVE THEY TALKED TO AN ADULT ABOUT WHAT THOSE FUTURE THINGS COULD BE? SO WE KNOW BUILDING KIDS EXCITEMENT AROUND COLLEGE AND CAREER STARTS EARLY, SO THAT EARLIER WE CAN GET KIDS THINKING ABOUT AND THEY WANT TO BE A DOCTOR, AN ENGINEER, WILDLIFE BIOLOGISTS, ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. I'M SORRY I PICKED OFF SCIENCE. I WAS A SCIENCE TEACHER. WHEN I SAID THAT'S CAREERS. BUT THE EARLIER WE CAN GET KIDS EXCITED ABOUT THOSE THAT TENDS TO FOLLOW THEM AS THEY GO THROUGH TO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL. IS THERE ANYTHING SIMILAR, UH, FOR HIGH SCHOOL OR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS? UM SOMETHING YOU DID SIMILAR FOR HIGH SCHOOLERS AND SCHOOLERS. WHEN YOU SAY SIMILAR, YOU MEAN IN THE TYPES OF QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED IN THE SECONDARY SURVEY WHEN YOU LOOK AT, UM SORRY, LET ME FLIP BACK A LITTLE BIT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT HERE. THAT WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE SAW SIGNIFICANT GROWTH IN THIS YEAR AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL WITH STUDENTS WHO SAID THAT MORE ADULTS WERE ENGAGING THEM IN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THEIR COLLEGE AND CAREER GOALS, SO WE DID SEE AN INCREASE IN THAT FROM THIS YEAR COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS. I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THAT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING IF YOU BROKE IT DOWN FURTHER LIKE INSTEAD OF JUST, UM, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND SECONDARY. YOU COULD ALSO LOOK AT LIKE, IF FROM THIRD GRADES OF FIFTH GRADE, THEY START TO LOSE IT. AND IF IT'S LIKE A STEADY DECLINE OR MIDDLE SCHOOL LIKE COMPLETELY RUINS THEIR HOPES OR WHATEVER, BECAUSE IT ON OH, JUST BE INTERESTING. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. SO I KNOW THE SURVEY RESULTS FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR ALREADY POSTED ON THE WEBSITE WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING THEM POSTED FROM THIS YEAR. BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE COMPARED IS LOOKING ACROSS MULTIPLE CATEGORIES. SO LOOKING AT STUDENT GRADE LEVEL THEIR ETHNICITY GROUP THEY BELONG TO THEIR AGE. EVEN HOW DOES THEIR ENGAGEMENT CHANGE? OVER TIME? WE DID SEE THAT STUDENT ENGAGEMENT KIND OF PEAKED AROUND LIKE SIX AND SEVEN GREEN AND STARTED TO DECLINE UNTIL AROUND 10TH OR 11TH GRADE. WHEN I IMAGINE THEY'RE EXCITED ABOUT GETTING OUT, SO THEY STARTED TO GET MORE
[00:25:04]
EXCITED ABOUT SCHOOL AGAIN. SO WE DID SEE AN INCREASE KIND OF A DIP BETWEEN 8TH AND 9TH GRADE WITH THAT TRANSITION TO HIGH SCHOOL, AND THEN IT'S A STEADY INCREASE BACK TO GRADUATION.OKAY WELL, PLEASE HELP ME GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THIS DATA IN.
OKAY SO THIS TIME WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST FOR TODAY. UM THIS IS A WOMAN THAT I'VE KNOWN A FEW MONTHS. MY GIRL SCOUT TROOP ACTUALLY WENT OVER TO HER FARM. IS ANYBODY HERE FROM HARVEST GREEN COMMUNITY. OKAY A COUPLE OF YAY! EXCELLENT SO WE HAVE A YOUNG LADY NAMED BETHANY BUSA.

BUT THIS YEAR OR THIS MONTH IT WAS OUR KIDS SO WE'RE HOPING TO BE ABLE TO GROW SOMETHING ENOUGH THAT, UM MAYBE WE CAN DO ONE OF THE HARVEST OF THE MONTH AGAIN WITH THE GARDEN CLUB. UM WE ALSO PART OF THE GARDEN IS ALSO A POLLINATOR GARDEN. UM WE'RE REALLY LUCKY IN THAT WHERE WE LIVE. WE'RE IN THE PATH OF THE SWALLOWTAIL BUTTERFLY, THE MONARCH AND THE GULF. HILLARY'S I MEAN, THAT'S FOR ALL OF FORT BEN, IF YOU PLANT UM, THESE PLANTS FOR SWALLOWTAIL, ITS ROOT, PARSLEY AND DILL. UM MONARCHS LAY THEIR EGGS ON MILKWEED ENGULF FOR HILLARY'S LAY THEIR EGGS ON PASSION. FINE IF YOU LIVE IN FORT BAND AND YOU, UM PLANT THOSE IN YOUR GARDEN, MOST LIKELY YOU'RE GOING TO GET BUTTERFLIES AT SOME POINT, SO THAT'S JUST A LITTLE TIP ARE, UM , BUTTERFLIES. THERE'S A MONARCH HERE IF YOU CAN SEE I DON'T KNOW HOW WELL YOU CAN SEE OUR GARDEN BEDS HAD A LITTLE LIP ON THERE.
THEY SEEM TO LIKE TO PUT THEIR CRYSTALLIZES THERE, WHICH WAS AWESOME BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE THE PERFECT DISPLAY OF YOU WOULD SEE THIS LITTLE GREEN CRYSTAL IS AND THEN EVEN AFTER THEY CLOSED THE LITTLE, UM THAT WHAT THEY ARE CLOSED FROM IS TRANSPARENT AND THEY'LL BE THERE FOR A DAY OR TWO. SO IT'S GREAT FOR THE KIDS TO BE ABLE TO COME BY WITH THEIR CLASS AND LOOK AT IT AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. UM WE'VE RUN THE GARDEN CLUB PRETTY CHEAPLY I'VE HAD OVER THE SUMMER.
SOMETIMES WE PULL A LOT OF THE BED OUT JUST BECAUSE WE'RE LUCKY IN TEXAS. IT'S PRETTY MUCH A 24 OR 12 MONTH, UM, GARDENING SEASON. SO FOR THE SUMMER, WE PULL A LOT OF THIS STUFF OUT JUST BECAUSE NO ONE'S THERE, SO THERE'S NO REASON FOR SOMEONE TO COME AND DO A LOT OF WORK IF IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ENJOYED. UM WE DID HAVE THIS SWEET POTATOES THAT CAME OVER THIS SUMMER AND WE WANTED TO KEEP THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE SO POPULAR SO, BUT LUCKILY THERE'S A GIRL SCOUT, UM IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THEY LIKE TO GET VOLUNTEER HOURS, SO SHE GAVE THE TEACHERS AND I BREAK FOR THE SUMMER AND CAME TO WATER FOR US. AND THEN, UM, SEED PACKETS I FOUND IF YOU UM. EMAIL

THE COMPANIES THAT HAVE CPAC IT'S YOU DON'T HAVE TO EAT IT. MALE VERY MANY BEFORE YOU GET SEED PACKETS. IF YOU SAY YOU WANT THEM FOR A SCHOOL, THERE WAS 16 SEED SAVERS. THEY SENT ME 50 PACKETS ONE TIME, SO I HAD, LIKE TOO MANY WAY TOO MANY SEEDS. I WOULD SAY WE WERE GIVING THEM OUT TO OTHER SCHOOLS AND TRYING TO, UM DO THINGS WITH IT. LIKE I SAID, UM, THE FARM GIVES US IF THEY HAVE ACCESS THINGS, THEY WILL GIVE THEM TO US AS WELL. AND THEN THE MORE YOU TALK ABOUT IT, AND HERE WE HAD ONE MOM OF A STUDENT.
