“Aztecs and Mustangs” SDSU College of Education visits Naranca Elementary School

Dr. Joseph Johnson, the Dean of the SDSU Department of Education, and thirteen professors from the teacher and administrative credentialing programs came to Naranca to see CVUSD’s grass roots effort to change the face of education through Blended/Personalized Learning, Visible Learning, a Growth Mindset Philosophy and the integration of both CTC Reading and Writing. We welcomed the team from SDSU with a breakfast and a short presentation from our teachers. The team from SDSU was able to visit almost every classroom and spend quality time talking to students and seeing targeted small group instruction in action. We then were able to release every teacher to meet with our visitors thanks to the coordinated support from EL Cajon Parks and Recreation and the amazing staff from our very own Extended Day Program. A huge thank you goes out to those incredibly student centered organizations. Together with our Superintendent and Board Members along with both the SDSU professors and Naranca Teachers, we were able to enjoy a lunch together and discuss teaching strategies, form connections and develop lasting professional relationships. Naranca was honored and pleased to host Dr. Johnson and his phenomenal team of professionals as we travel together on this amazing journey we call education.  Click here to see Dean Johnson’s letter to CVUSD and Naranca miyashiro-10-19-16-naranca-visit
