Thank you!
for visiting my website!
We hope you find everything you are seeking to know about Diane's
goals for education, as well as her background and qualifications. Scroll down to watch the videos.
Diane will REFORM EDUCATION and "Fix" our schools! It has taken forty years for California schools to slide from NUMBER ONE! to number 48 under the leadership of the Democrats and the union! We need NEW leadership, a Republican woman EDUCATOR! the first ever in California's history!
Diane will "break" from "more of the same" and bring "innovation and change!"
Diane is focused on providing A high-quality education for all young people of California. It is the "civil rights issue" of this generation!
1) At the TOP of the list is to "reduce the school drop-out rate," and increase the graduation rate; providing a quality education and a bright future for every student. "DROP-OUT PREVENTION IS CRIME PREVENTION!" says Sheriff Lee Baca.
2) Provide vocational and technology programs for students who want a job right out of high school.
3) Assure safe schools for a rigorous and high quality learning environment, closing the "achievement gap" between minority students and English only students.
4) Sub-divide overly large districts that fail to manage their districts in an economically and educationally successful manner to bring more local control to school districts for student success; bringing more money to the classrooms where the funding is needed the most. "Mid-size" districts assure better oversight and management of education programs through "local control."
5) Use the ideas that have demonstrated success such as from the national award winning district where I taught for 15 years, and contributed to the success of student achievement and closing the achievement gap, i.e. English immersion, pacing, quarterly benchmark testing, timed intervention (RTI), and mandatory tutoring for failing students, etc..
6) Use successful professional development such as Peters Procedures to assist and empower teachers in the classroom to assure success for undisciplined students.
7) Assure academic focus on core curriculum courses for student success, and provide enriching courses for elective classes such as ROP vocational classes that count toward a diploma. ROP classes in areas such as truck driving, florist, animal care, computer technology, merchandising, child care, beautician and skin care, and many others, will prepare our young people for jobs right out of high school, and will count as credits toward a diploma.

Take the *POLL below: Is it time to Fix our CA schools?
Diane is one of many Republican women!...leading our state to a better future for our kids and grandkids!
Diane shares her goals to "fix" our schools and "reform" the education culture of CA schools. Providing safety in our schools will assure a healthy education climate for our children to learn. Just like a child needs a good meal to do well in school, every student needs to learn in a safe school environment without fear.
Watch Diane speak (on the "About Diane" page) at the CRP convention in Indian Wells, CA September 2009. Diane hits it "out of the ballpark" in this speech about how to REFORM EDUCATION and "fix" our schools! She will REFORM our school system to lead the nation once again as California schools led the nation over forty years ago.
Listen as Diane Lenning shares with community leaders and young people around the state...
Bringing mismanaged districts into compliance is a necessity to improve education. I want accountability in education just like you do! Improved curriculum and a quality education is provided by well-managed "mid-sized" districts that provide leadership in successful education programs for our schools.
Diane has been a teacher in the trenches for more than thirty years. She worked with "at risk" students for many years, including gang members from both Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Diane has had experience in all types of education settings with minority students, resource students, and mainstream students in public and private schools, as well as in the California Youth Authority with incarcerated students.
She is highly qualified for this position as her overall experience is the perfect composite to "Change" and "Improve" the quality of education for all students.
Since retiring from over thirty-three years of teaching, Diane has passed the Baby Bar and continues her education to earn a Juris Doctorate (JD).
