The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful to its vision.

The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement.

  • Televising Watts Joe Saltzman's Black on Black
    10 Televising Watts Joe Saltzman’s Black on Black (1968) on KNXT JOSHUA GLICK Joe Saltzman’s Black on Black challenged staid conventions of broadcast journalism and ste reo typical repre sen ta tions of Watts when it premiered on Los Angeles station !"#$ on July &', &()'. Shot in the thick of urban up- risings sweeping the country, the documentary took aim at prestige public a*airs specials’ depiction of Watts as a site of poverty, a crime- ridden neigh- borhood, or a war zone. Saltzman, a white liberal documentarian from the nearby suburb of Alhambra in the San Gabriel Valley, sought to provide a platform for black residents to speak for themselves and to re orient main- stream tele vi sion audiences’ understanding of South Central Los Angeles. Black on Black portrayed Watts as a community of pe ople with deep ties to their neighborhood. Residents re+ected on the meaning of black identity and spoke openly about their strug gles living within a city that marginalized their presence. Cinema and media studies scholars have written extensively on the tele- vi sion industry’s engagement with the Black Power movement, most o,en analyzing nationally broadcast situation comedies (Sanford and Son ["-., &(/0–//]), variety shows (!e Flip Wilson Show ["-., &(/1–/2], Soul Train [&(/1–011)]), and public a*airs series (Black Journal ["3$, &()'–//]).
