Application questions

你与总监第2或第4区社区、学校、家庭和学生有什么关系? 作为博彩平台网址大全董事，你如何预见这些联系和关系的增长或扩展?

I feel extremely connected to Director District 2. I support the environment in Friends of Discovery Park. I supports the community by leading a Girl Scout troop in the district. 我认识很多参加合作社学前教育项目的家庭和教幼儿园孩子的学生. My own children are in the school age program. I have advocated for my families needing support in the area.

你对博彩平台网址大全董事和西雅图博彩平台网址大全的角色和责任有何理解? How do you foresee working with your fellow Directors, the Superintendent, staff, and the public?

博彩平台网址大全主任的角色和职责包括与督学一起工作, assisting with the vision and mission of the district, shaping policies, adapting nuances around the budget, serving a community representative, having a pulse on the district’s progress towards its goals. Also, I wouldn’t fail to mention the equity lens the board should seek to operate through.

First, 任何担任这一职位的人都应该了解博彩平台网址大全的历史和历史进展，并在尽可能多的合作中努力实现进一步的目标.

Next, 为未来的社会领导人塑造尽可能最好的结果的愿景，将是一个很好的起点.

Lastly, 沟通和代表所有利益相关者的声音对于决定任何事情都很重要，就像最重要的孩子的生命一样, the collective whole, are at stake.

描述你在与董事会成员合作和建立积极工作关系方面的优势.

首先，要为真正的协作努力建立基础，必须从了解参与协作的人开始. Relationships are essential. Learning climate and culture is essential to building all voices equally. 清楚地了解长期愿景，以及每个人如何适应可能出现的结果. 所有这些技能都必须在既定的会议空间和外部社区中得到培养.

请举例说明你如何处理冲突并克服它，以建立作为团体决策机构成员的一致性.

In the workplace I’ve always attempted to address conflict by being solution focused. In an example from my practice, 一位同事因为我在工作空间的时间比我长一点而感到威胁. We planned a time to meet and have open communication. 我们能够保持对话解决方案的重点，并为每个涉众提供倾听的时间. In the end, it all felt like solutions we could feel successful with and execute.

School Board Policy No, 0030, Ensuring Educational and Racial Equity, includes the following commitment:

西雅图博彩平台网址大全致力于每一所学校的每一个学生的成功，并实现我们的使命，确保所有学生毕业后准备好上大学, career and life. We believe that the responsibility for student success is broadly shared by District Staff, administrators, instructors, communities and families. 我们专注于缩小机会差距，创建学习社区，为所有学生提供支持和学术丰富项目. Additionally, 我们相信每个学生都有权利在西雅图公立学区获得公平的教育体验.

What does this statement mean to you?

As a student of historically black schools in Atlanta, Georgia I believe the foundational understanding of collective value. The idea of Maslow before Bloom. Currently, 作为一名LAP干预主义者，我选择把我的时间花在缩小学生离教育公平最远的差距上. Finding joy in the journey and the outcomes together with students, families, fellow instructors and administrators.

西雅图博彩平台网址大全为学生的成绩设定了三个目标，并附带了作为学校系统表现更广泛指标的指标. Provide your insights into how setting goals and monitoring progress influences student success.

我对远离教育公正的学生的直接经验来自于该地区过去采用和使用的阅读干预计划. 黑人男孩明显的目标设定经验对他们学习的整体信心非常有价值. After seeing the progress that needed to made, 他们能够挑战自己，更加努力地学习，以跟上全国同龄人的学习进度.

请分享您对当前教育问题的知识和/或想法，这对您来说是一个高度优先考虑的问题. How do you see the Board’s role in this issue?

一个持续的教育问题似乎非常紧迫，那就是该地区许多学生的心理健康问题. Life seems to be more challenging for kids and young adults in 2024. Hopeful, that additional training could become budgeted. 这项培训可以让所有工作人员接受培训，与孩子和年轻人谈论他们的感受，以及筛选心理健康信号的其他方法.
