Position Papers
Teaching Every Child
Palo Alto schools are well known for our overall high level of achievement - but how do we make sure that we are meeting every child where they are, and giving them appropriate challenges to enable them to meet their full potential?
Student social, emotional, and physical health
We have a strong reputation for high achievement -- but like many similar districts, we also struggle with a reputation for high levels of unnecessary academic stress among our students. How can we support both achievement and healthy, happy kids?
Building a Culture of Innovation
Silicon Valley is a global center for successful innovation. What can we learn from our larger community's success to make PAUSD a learning organization, where we can make continuous improvements in education?
