SBCSS Student Services
SBCSS Mission The mission of San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools is to transform lives through education . Student Services Vision Provide responsive and relevant service to our students, districts, San Bernardino County partners, and to each other.
Student Services Goals
1. Proactively address the unique academic needs of students for increased academic achievement . 2. Promote an equitable, positive, safe, culturally responsive, and supportive environment for students, staff, families, and community partners. 3. Ensure the coordination and collaboration of systems, resources, and effective practices focused on student needs, student learning and student success. Ensuring that English learners have full access to the state standards in tandem with the ELD standards and all core subject areas is essential to their academic achievement. Through first best instruction, we must provide abundant learning opportunities to all English learners as they learn academic English as a second language. Using research validated strategies, students will attain academic language that will prepare them for high school graduation and college and career. We closely aligned the Guide for Educating English Learners to the California English Learner Roadmap Policy. Implementing Integrated and Designated ELD instructional practices and tools are vital to the language development of English learners. Integrated ELD will be a basis for supporting teachers and staff in providing access to all core curricular subjects. Newcomer English Language Learners (ELs) and ELs at levels one or two are seldom referred to our Alternative Education programs at Student Services. However, SBCSS is equipped with programs and staff to support these students in the event that they are referred.
It is rare that Student Services has Newcomer ELs or levels one or two ELs in our Alternative Education programs.
