Investigate your district’s mission statement and policies around technology and 21st century learning? What is it? It’s an all-encompassing or does it need a gentle nudge from you? Analyze and comment.
When first looking into this blog I decided to search NVUSD’s mission statement on google and it took me to the NVUSD Website linked here. I decided to copy some of the important pieces of information from the website then I will discuss them below. Here is NVUSD’s mission statement: “Established in 1965, Napa Valley Unified School District serves the communities of American Canyon, Napa City and Yountville. The district is comprised of 29 schools serving more than 17,000 students in Transitional Kindergarten (TK) through Grade 12, and in Adult Education. Our students are all individuals, with their own talents, interests, needs and goals. That means that we nurture and challenge advanced learners, who want to expand their learning horizons, as well as students who have physical, emotional or cognitive challenges that require more support. We offer rigorous academic courses, robust Career Technical Education options and diverse extracurricular and athletic programs. Our students can learn in traditional neighborhood schools, magnet schools, independent study, dual immersion English-Spanish programs, online options and more.“ Also according to the website, NVUSD has 6 goals they focus on:
Diving into the first goal listed we see that there is mention of technology within that goal as well as focus on 21st century skills. Taken directly from the website were the following points:
I feel like the mission statement and the rest of this section of the website were organized well and were very clear. I do feel like our district could put into the mission statement something about using technology and the idea of 21st century skills.

I found the same information. I think with all the rebranding the district is currently going through the mission statement is not as clear. This is the first time I have really looked through the website to find this information.

I agree. I think there could be more focus on the technology aspect and more to back it up such as required technology training and incentives for teachers who refuse to bring technology into the classroom
