ANNOUNCEMENTS
Edison Language Academy was named last week as a 2016
National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education! Edison
is one of only 279 public and 50 private schools receiving this honor in the
nation. Schools are nominated for the award by their State Departments of
Education, and then complete a comprehensive application about school
practices. Edison was recognized as an Exemplary Achievement Gap Closing
School for schools making the fastest progress in their state in closing
achievement gaps among student subgroups.
In addition to being evaluated on use of research-based best
practices, one of the many factors that Edison was judged on was the
performance of our third, fourth and fifth graders on the California
Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) in English and
math. Edison has shown tremendous growth in state assessment exams
over the last decade, with particularly strong scores for our 5th
grade
students – reflecting national research on second language learning. The
fact that Edison, a schoolwide Title 1 immersion school, has been able to
achieve this growth while at the same time dedicating so much instructional
time to Spanish and a vibrant arts program is especially noteworthy.
What we have accomplished at Edison takes artful, skillful teaching
and a focused and collaborative effort by all teachers and staff. It also is
made possible because of the support and involvement of our parent
community and the steadfast support (over 30 years) from our Board of
Education. The common vision we share for the success of our students
helps us persist in the face of challenges and keep pressing to elevate our
practice.
“Edison is a great example of a school where the principal,
teachers, staff and parents all work together toward student success and
closing the achievement gap,” said Dr. Sylvia Rousseau, SMMUSD co-interim
superintendent. “We are proud that they have been recognized nationally
as an exemplary school while serving as a great model within SMMUSD as
we implement our Equity through Excellence plan across all schools.”
Helping Parents Support Early Literacy Development – Helping unlock the mystery of
reading is one of the joys of teaching young children! Guiding students to become fluid and confident readers who enjoy reading is some of the most important work that elementary schools do.

ANUNCIOS
¡La semana pasada la Academia de Idiomas Edison fue nombrada como una Escuela de Listón Azul Nacional del 2016 por el Departamento de Educación de los Estados Unidos! Edison es una de solamente 279 escuelas públicas y 50 privadas recibiendo este honor en la nación. Las escuelas son nominadas para el reconocimiento por sus Departamentos de Educación de sus Estados, y luego completan una solicitud comprensiva sobre las prácticas escolares. Edison fue reconocida como una Escuela
Ejemplar de Cerrar Diferencias de Rendimiento para las escuelas haciendo
el progreso más rápido en su estado en cerrar las diferencias de rendimiento
entre diferentes grupos.
En adición de ser evaluados en el uso de las mejores prácticas
basadas en investigaciones, uno de los muchos factores en los cuales Edison
fue juzgada fue en la presentación de los estudiantes del 3º, 4º y 5º grado en
el Asesoramiento de Rendimiento Estudiantil y Progreso (CAASPP) en
inglés y matemáticas. Edison ha mostrado tremendo crecimiento en los
exámenes de asesoramiento estatales durante la década pasada, con
resultados particularmente fuertes para nuestros estudiantes de 5º grado –
reflejando las investigaciones nacionales en el aprendizaje de un segundo
idioma. El hecho de que Edison, una escuela entera de Título I e Inmersión,
ha podido lograr crecimiento mientras al mismo tiempo dedica tanto del
tiempo de instrucción al español y a un programa vibrante de artes es
especialmente notable.
Lo que hemos logrado en Edison toma enseñanza artística, llena de
habilidades y esfuerzo enfocado y colaborativo por todos los maestros y
persona. También es posible por el apoyo e involucramiento de nuestra
comunidad de padres y el apoyo firme (de más de 30 años) de nuestra Mesa
Directiva de Educación. La visión común que compartimos para el éxito de
nuestros estudiantes nos ayuda persistir en frente de retos seguir
presionando para elevar nuestra práctica.
“Edison es un gran ejemplo de una escuela donde la directora,
maestros, personal y padres todos trabajan unidos hacia el éxito estudiantil
y cerrar la diferencia de rendimiento,” dijo Dra. Sylvia Rousseau, la co-
interina superintendente de SMMUSD. “Estamos orgullosos de que han
sido reconocidos nacionalmente como una escuela ejemplar mientras
sirviendo como un modelo dentro de SMMUSD en lo que implementamos
nuestro plan de Equidad por medio de Excelencia a través de todas las
escuelas.”
Ayudando a Padres Apoyar el Desarrollo Temprano de Alfabetismo - ¡Ayudando abrir el misterio de lectura es una de las alegrías de enseñar a niños jóvenes! Guiando a estudiantes a ser lectores fluidos y confiados quienes disfrutan leer es algo del trabajo más importante que las escuelas primarias hacen. Trabajamos duro para desarrollar alfabetismo temprano en la escuela y asegurar que los padres tengan las herramientas que necesiten para proveer refuerzo y apoyo en el hogar. Hay algunos “trucos del oficio” que pueden hacer esto más fácil para que los padres apoyen a los lectores jóvenes en el hogar pueda ser una interacción positiva.
Y, claro, en un programa de doble inmersión, no estamos enseñando en un solo idioma. ¡Todos menos la pequeña cantidad de niños quienes llegan a la escuela completamente bilingües, también están aprendiendo un segundo idioma a la misma ves! Hay otros consejos sobre el aprendizaje de un segundo idioma que ayudan a la mayoría de los padres. ¡Revisen las ofertas de educación de padres que se acercan patrocinados por nuestros Fondos de Título I por medio de nuestro Plan Escolar y tomen asiento!
