- Teaching Every Child
 - 
Palo Alto schools are well known for our overall high level of achievement. What should we do to make sure our students are prepared for the 21st century economy - and how do we make sure that we are meeting every child where they are, and giving them appropriate challenges to enable them to meet their full potential?
 - Student social, emotional, and physical health
 - 
We have a strong reputation for high achievement -- but like many similar districts, we also struggle with a reputation for high levels of unnecessary academic stress among our students. How can we support both achievement and healthy, happy kids?
 - Building a Culture of Innovation
 - 
Silicon Valley is a global center for successful innovation. What can we learn from our larger community's success to make PAUSD a learning organization, where we can make continuous improvements in education?
