Vision And Values The District's core values and beliefs were developed through extensive strategic planning effort undertaken in the 2002-2003. These value statements built on the foundation of a community-wide visioning process that took place in 1991 and 1996, and the District's Graduate Profile, a 1992 document that describes the skills, knowledge, and attitudes of a student who graduates from the Alameda Unified School District. Other district materials, as well as ideas discussed by Stakeholders involved in the strategic planning process, helped to shape the following statements. We acknowledge, value and respect the diversity--race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic bakground--of all students, believing each student's unique experiences can be used to leverage and maximize student achievement. We believe the AUSD Graduate Profile Outcomes encompass a common set of skills, knowledge and attitudes essential to the total development of all Alameda students. These learnings have instrinsic value for the fulfillment of each student's future aspirations. AUSD Educational Philosophy Every student has the right to reach his/her full potential. Development of the whole person-intellectual, emotional, creative, and physical-is an important part of a well-rounded individual. Education is a shared responsibility of the student, the teacher, the parent and the community. Embracing diversity contributes to the strength of the community. Instruction shiould be designed to meet the needs of the diverse learners. High expectations result in high achievement. Students learn best when actively engaged in relevant work. Community service is a valuable learning experience for students. Decision-making must be responsive to student needs. Mission Alameda Unified School District is a team unified to ensure that every school creates a learning environment where every student succeeds. Strategic Focus Every student will meet or exceed all AUSD and State Standards as measured by District and State assessments.
