Atenea in Spanish means “The House of Culture.” It is a name inspired by the goddess of war and culture “Athens” (in Spanish Atenea). In many Hispanic countries, there is a space called “Atenea” or “Ateneo.” This place is usually a hub for culture or cultural centers, where people meet to enjoy, get informed, and discuss matters of culture. This show represents that, as the aim is to join people through culture. Americana has many meanings in this context. One of them is the whole "American Continent" as this refers to it people in and out of Latin America, with different ethnicities and races but a similar thread in culture.

Santa Clara County Office of Education Engaging Community

Today we have a conversation with Dr. Mary Ann Dewan, Superintendent of the Santa Clara County Office of Education (SCCOE).

Dr. Mary Ann Dewan, the Santa Clara County Superintendent of Schools, has served in education for over 33 years. Her work in education reform and change leadership is grounded in her commitment to serve the community and underserved, vulnerable youth and a mission that is centered around diversity, inclusion, equity, and social justice. Dr. Dewan is a strong advocate for the expansion of early learning services, health, and education, and believes in providing each and every child opportunities that promote high quality, equitable, and inclusive experiences.

The Santa Clara County Office of Education (SCCOE) is a regional service agency that provides instructional, business, and technology services to the 31 school districts of Santa Clara County. They directly serve students through special education programs, alternative schools, Head Start and State Preschool programs, migrant education, and Opportunity Youth Academy. The SCCOE also provides academic and fiscal oversight and monitoring to districts in addition to the 21 Santa Clara County Board of Education authorized charter schools.

The Office of the Superintendent provides support to the County Office, school districts and other educational agencies. Our staff provides data and statistics, evaluation, research analysis, internal audit services, and planning and support services to the SCCOE, school districts and other agencies in the realm of education.

They are always open to the community, and showcase new events for students in public education. One of them is the incoming “Power of Democracy” “Power of Democracy: Civic Engagement Initiative” is a multi-sector coalition facilitated by the Santa Clara County Office of Education. The Initiative is designed to foster an understanding of the structures and processes of our democracy, share resources and best practices, encourage informed and multifaceted civic participation and build stronger communities.

Another is the Environmental Literacy Summit 2024. The Santa Clara County Office of Education is hosting our 3rd Annual Environmental Literacy Summit on Saturday, April 27, 2024 from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm. This year’s theme is Buiding Climate Resiliency Togther, and will focus on the key themes of reducing our impact, supporting healthy school communities, and providing environmental and climate literacy education.

Listen to the show to get more details about this and more of the SCCOE programs, and more about the County Office of Education.

As usual, thank you for listening to our show “Atenea Americana” as part of my effort at Stanford Hispanic Broadcasting.
