Existing events have been transferred to this Google Drive Calendar. Please see "number of substitutes" when planning a new event; avoid days where 100 subs have already been reserved. Send requests (for new items or changes to existing ones) to Edna Espinoza in Curriculum. Request confirmation that your event or change has been included in the calendar before considering it final. We will begin building the calendar for 2015-16 early next semester by soliciting input from all SUHSD Departments.

These leaders are informed by local and national initiatives and professional development experiences. Among those are UC-facilitated history/social sciences trainings, SDCOE leadership team meetings, San Diego Area Writing Project Conferences, California Math Council regional events, NSF-driven computer science workshops, and the 2014 California STEM Symposium.

The website for Curriculum, Instruction and Professional Development has been revised for 2014-15 and will be significantly revamped later this year. Please share your input regarding future website content with Katrine Czajkowski, Lead Curriculum Specialist.

Williams v. State of California is a statewide class action suit regarding sufficiency of instructional materials, adequacy of facilities and the qualification of teachers. In September 2004, the Williams Settlement Legislation was enacted into law requiring all districts in the State of California to provide sufficient instructional materials in core subject areas; maintain clean, safe facilities in good repair and take measures to guarantee all pupils have qualified teachers.

Most SUHSD sites are represented by teachers planning to attend a twenty-hour series of workshops designed to increase readiness to teach UC/CSU "g" elective Introduction to Computer Science Principles. The group will also help develop SUHSD goals regarding computational thinking in our district. People who are still interested may submit applications here. Email Katrine Czajkowski or Lead Instructor Art Lopez with your intent and/or any questions.
