SUBJECT:
Title
INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION OF AN EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY WITH THE CHULA VISTA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT
Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, commonly known as STEAM, are all fields of study that the District needs in order to continue to be innovative champions of the waterfront. Additionally, knowledge of STEAM subjects and skills gives communities an economic advantage given the growing STEAM industries and occupations as well as the higher wages associated with them.
The Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) has proposed an educational opportunity to help shape San Diego's next generation of skilled workers, and District staff has been exploring the opportunity to be a potential partner to bolster waterfront industries and occupations.
Currently, CVESD has three world of work experiences for students that are strength and interest-based: Innovation Station, Hydro Station, and Energy Station. In each of the world of work stations, sixth graders learn about their strengths, interests, and work values. Connecting a student's strength and interests with job exploration will help to build their career pipeline at the elementary school level.
CVESD would like to partner with the District, and others with similar educational needs, to develop a "Station" to ensure the sustainability of waterfront industries and occupations.
