ASPIRE Regional Community Forums—A Focus on Every Child
This winter, HISD is hosting its second series of regional community forums to educate HISD parents, families, and community members about the ways the district is working to prepare all students to be college/career ready.
Through this forum series, A Focus on Every Child, attendees will learn about:
- Updates on ASPIRE —the district’s cohesive educational-improvement model,
- The difference between student progress and achievement and why it’s important to measure both,
- Value-added analysis and the ways in which this diagnostic tool is improving teaching and student learning,
- Some district and regional strengths and priorities for improvement as identified through value-added reports as well as some long-term district goals; and
- How to find publicly-accessible value-added reports and other information available through the ASPIRE portal.
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in discussion and share feedback with HISD administrators as well. Thank you in advance for your participation and willingness to partner with HISD to prepare students for success in college, in their careers, and beyond.
