Teaching & Learning
Dual Language Immersion Program (DLI) PUSD’s DLI K-12 program is designed to ensure students become literate (read, write, speak, and listen) in English and Spanish. In 2023, we developed our first PUSD DLI handbook created by teachers, parents, and administrative staff. The handbook is designed to inform our community of the program, expectations, and student outcomes.
The Teaching and Learning Division strives to support each student's social- emotional and academic needs to increase their achievement that ensures all students graduate college, career, and community ready. To do this, we provide instructional leadership for all educational initiatives, ensuring educational equity is reflected in practice, policies and planning. College and Career Readiness The Adult and Career Education Department serves as the driving force for Career Pathways and Adult Learning (CPAL) in Pleasanton Unified School District
English Learner Development and Literacy We continue to increase the number of PUSD teachers trained in research-based literacy and language acquisition instruction. This includes the adoption and implementation of a district-wide phonics program, English learner instruction and deepening our commitment to structured literacy implementation to ensure every student is reading at grade level.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) We offer ongoing opportunities for family involvement, including the African American Family Network and new Spanish-Speaking Family Network. Other activities include our DEI Task Force, which brings diverse perspectives together to identify equity gaps within policies and practices and to recommend and monitor actionable steps to eliminate opportunity gaps for PUSD students.
by administering and coordinating programs related to Career and Technical Education, Adult Learning, Work Experience Education, and apprenticeships.
Data Driven Decision Making Using student data to guide our actions, our District has moved out of the "Differentiated Assistance" (DA) State accountability indicator for our African-American students for the areas of Suspension and Chronic Absenteeism based on the 2023 CA Dashboard. Last year, our District was identified for DA for this student group based on our 2021-22 data. To address this designation, we had to align our resources and programs within our LCAP and SPSA to address these two areas and none of our student groups are designated for DA.
Adult Education Program The California Adult Education Program serves state and national interests by providing life-long educational opportunities and support services to all adults. Adult Education programs address the unique and evolving needs of individuals and communities by providing adults with the knowledge and skills necessary to participate effectively as productive citizens, workers, and family members. This year, our Adult with Disabilities (AWD) was highlighted by Channel 7 for their work helping students earn work experience via internships leading to employment opportunities.
