AIA | CAE 2008 FALL CONFERENCE LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Welcome to Helsinki, On behalf of the AIA Committee on Architecture for Education (CAE), welcome to Helsinki and our Fall 2008 Conference. The over 6000 member CAE is the second oldest AIA Knowledge Community and is committed to improving learning environments through re- search and collaborative planning and design. We are particularly delighted to once again be working with our colleagues from the Finnish National Board of Education. This week will further an international conversation about the design of learning environments that began with the Amsterdam Watershed Conference in 2000 and expanded during the CAE Spring 2005 Conference in Washington, DC. We are in Helsinki because several international studies, including the OECD Program for International Student Assessment have rated Finland among the world’s best in student achievement. It is argued that Finland’s exemplary performance is largely due to the coun- try’s main principles for comprehensive education: equal opportunities; regional accessibil- ity of education; education totally free of charge; a supportive and fl exible administration; 1 individual support for the student learning and welfare; development-oriented evaluation and student assessments – no testing or ranking lists; highly qualifi ed teachers; and quality learning environments. This stands in sharp contrast to much of the educational system in the United States where students are for the most part being educated for the 21st century in 20th century industrial-model schools run on a 19th century agrarian calendar. As the world becomes fl atter it is imperative that we look at the best models for learning environ- ments wherever they may be. Over the next four days we will engage thought leaders from around the planet and will visit some extraordinary learning environments. We hope that your time here is challenging, inspiring, refl ective, and truly memorable. James E.

What a beautiful place to gather for the Committee of Architecture for Education & CAE fall conference! Cool, crisp air, a stunning natural setting, great architecture and a city that offers a blend of new and old. It’s inspiring – and that’s what this conference is all about, inspiration. Finland has long been a major presence in international architecture circles. From Alvaar Alto to today’s new generation of creative Finnish designers, excellence in architectural creativity has its roots in this part of the world. School design continues to be a major part of this history of unique problem solving. CAE’s annual fall conference will focus on two main ideas: 1) A chance to experience, fi rst-hand, current trends in school design that have an infl uence world wide and; 2) What you as practitio- ner can take away from the conference that will help you improve your own practice. The Fall 2008 CAE conference will explore in detail the roots of Finnish Educational design and show new and innovative designs infl uencing today’s learning facilities everywhere. Not only will this year’s conference include informative programs and great tours - this three day conference will actually be a continuous tour, with each program taking place at a different school or learning environment. Because learning occurs in a wide variety of spaces beyond the typical school house, the Fall Conference includes higher Ed facilities and public learning facilities such as the new Karisma Museum by Steven Holl, the new campus library at University of Helsinki, and other unique learning environments throughout downtown Helsinki. Supporting the theme “global perspectives,” presentations from countries around the world will complement the 3 projects in Helsinki. All seven continents will be represented to help illustrate the notion that learning in a fl at world always has, and continues to generate, the same daily issues, concerns, constraints, and life long learning opportunities. Whether it’s a one room school in Kenya, a community built school house in Laos, a constantly evolving structure on the frozen tundra of the North Pole, or a comprehensive High School for 2400 students (and is a community center for a city of 140,000), school facilities world wide are creating Life Long Learners who become productive citizens within their community. Your participation in this year’s conference will improve your knowledge and cultivate new ideas to compliment your passion for designing world class education facilities. Consider the next few days a learning opportunity for you – a true opportunity to help you think as a designer and problem solver. Enjoy your stay in Helsinki and enjoy the conference!

  • Classifying Educational Programmes
    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

  • San Pasqual Academy School Accountability Report Card Reported Using Data from the 2019-2020 School Year Published During 2020-2021
    San Pasqual Academy School Accountability Report Card Reported Using Data from the 2019-2020 School Year Published During 2020-2021 By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC. • For more information about SARC requirements and access to prior year reports, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/. • For more information about the LCFF or the LCAP, see the CDE LCFF webpage at https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/. • For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school principal or the district office. DataQuest DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest web page at https://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/ that contains additional information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district and the county. Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., test data, enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and data regarding English learners).
