February 2, 2022 - Black History Month
Greetings ASD community,
While our focus remains on teaching and learning, we know it is important to celebrate the diverse makeup of our community. Please join us all month long while we celebrate Black History Month!
It is hard to believe that I am nearing the end of my entry period and approaching the 90-day mark in my time here in Allentown. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.” I am inspired by his words as I begin to create the vision that will guide the Allentown School District over the next 5 years.
At the end of my entry phase, I will present a report to the board that outlines this vision and use that to create a long-term Strategic Plan for ASD. Be assured, that vision will focus on accelerating academic excellence for our students. It is our goal as educators to follow the words of Dr. King, and challenge our students to think intensively and critically - but also focusing on building character, thereby improving the overall culture and climate in our schools.
Schools and individual classroom teachers will be celebrating the importance of Black History throughout the month. Similar to Hispanic Heritage Month, the district’s Office of Family & Community Engagement will host LIVE Q&A sessions on our Facebook with leaders and students in the ASD community with African American Roots. At the end of the month, we are excited to offer the Martin Luther & Coretta Scott King Black History Speaker Series Events series hosted virtually by the NAACP to our secondary students.
Thank you,
Dr. John D Stanford,
Superintendent of Allentown School District
Saludos Comunidad de ASD,
Si bien nuestro enfoque sigue siendo la enseñanza y el aprendizaje, sabemos que es importante celebrar la composición diversa de nuestra comunidad. ¡Únase a nosotros durante todo el mes mientras celebramos el Mes de la Historia Afroamericana!
Es difícil creer que me estoy acercando al final de mi período de entrada y acercándome a la marca de los 90 días en mi estadía aquí en Allentown. El Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dijo: “La función de la educación es enseñar a pensar intensamente ya pensar críticamente. Inteligencia más carácter: ese es el objetivo de la verdadera educación”. Sus palabras me inspiran cuando empiezo a crear la visión que guiará al Distrito Escolar de Allentown durante los próximos 5 años.
Al final de mi fase de entrada, presentaré un informe a la junta que describa esta visión y la usaré para crear un Plan Estratégico a largo plazo para ASD. Tenga la seguridad de que esa visión se centrará en acelerar la excelencia académica de nuestros estudiantes. Nuestro objetivo como educadores es seguir las palabras del Dr. King y desafiar a nuestros estudiantes a pensar intensa y críticamente, pero también enfocándonos en desarrollar el carácter, mejorando así la cultura general y el clima en nuestras escuelas.
Las escuelas y los maestros de los salones individuales celebrarán la importancia de la Historia Afroamericana durante todo el mes. Similar al Mes de la Herencia Hispana, la Oficina de Participación Familiar y Comunitaria del distrito organizará sesiones de preguntas y respuestas EN VIVO en nuestra Facebook con líderes y estudiantes de la comunidad ASD con raíces afroamericanas. A fin de mes, nos complace ofrecer la serie de eventos de la serie de oradores sobre la historia afroamericana de Martin Luther y Coretta Scott King organizada virtualmente por el NAACP para nuestros estudiantes de secundaria.
Gracias,
Dr. John D Stanford,
Superintendente del Distrito Escolar de Allentown
