FUSD Theory of Action

“…At the core of the FUSD Aligned Instructional System is a focus on the classroom. Foundational to this system is the alignment of student content standards and the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP), purposeful assessments, intense and specific planning, and effective targeted instruction.” - BP 0100

If we… Get the right people in the right work.

And if we… Invest all stakeholders in a shared vision of effective instruction that

drives our work.

And if we… Establish a diverse, inclusive, accountable community that embraces a

culture of learning with high expectations.

And if we… Ensure a coherent and effective instructional system to support schools

in achieving our shared vision.

Then… We will prepare college and career ready graduates who learned at

grade level and beyond each year that they attended school in our

system.

Fresno Unified is committed to preparing college and career ready graduates. To achieve

this level of readiness, every student can and must learn at grade level and beyond. We

have a deliberate, intentional culture of learning with high expectations where every day,

every educator and every student seeks to learn and strives for growth. We support and

challenge each other to stay focused on what matters most: ensuring that in every

classroom our students are tackling relevant, challenging content, taking ownership for their

learning and improving every day.
