今天的访问是Walnut Valley Unified
School District (核桃谷联合学区)并参观这个学区的一所特殊学校。
上午八点半我们准时来到学区办公室所在地,首先由学区学监致欢迎词并介绍核桃谷学区的学校分布和相关办学理念:
Our Vision
All Walnut Valley students will experience an exceptional education in a supportive, safe, and healthy environment, giving them the skills, ethics and courage to achieve their dreams in the world of today and tomorrow.
Our Mission

All staff should conduct themselves with the highest degree of professionalism, respect, and courtesy.
当我听到Conklin提到学区是使命是“学生为先,为了每个学生的每一天的幸福”之时,有些不以为然,国内几乎所有的学区,学校都会说比这个还要好听的口号,我更加关注的他们到底是如何实现这样的使命和愿景的。但在之后的参观学校过程中我却有了很大的触动。
我们所参观的是一所非常特殊的学校,在介绍这所学校之前我先要介绍一下加州的高中教育,加州学生初中毕业没有考试,也没有分流到中专职校的说法,所有的加州的高中也是就近招生,所有的学生都可以升入高中学习,可是随着高中课程的不断加深,的确有一部分学生没有办法跟上,于是,WALNUT学区就创办了 “Ron Hockwalt
Academies School”招收各个学校1%的学生,对他们进行更加精细化的教育,学校目前一共只有40多个学生,每个到这个学校的学生可能都有生理或者心理的问题,还有一些是家庭除了状况的,学校为这些孩子提供一种安全的环境,为每个孩子设计不同的教学计划,成人一对一地与他们沟通,努力让这些孩子受到更加多的关照。
我想,这一点我们是不是也可以借鉴?
