During the 2015-16 school year our district engaged students, staff, and community in a series of listening activities with the goal of updating a strategic plan focused on the year 2020 and beyond. Stakeholders shared about their experiences in our district and their hopes for the future. The feedback collected was organized into three themes caring, quality and growth.

Seeing & Serving Each Student
Seeing & Serving Each Student
District Problem of Practice:
By using a collaborative inquiry process that is aligned from the student growth level to the team level to the school level and district level we can work towards solving our problem of practice and meet our district goals.
How can we lead a system that maximizes the learning of all adults so that we can truly “see” all students by accurately identifying and meeting each student learning needs? Currently our data shows that we have a need to focus on students experiencing poverty and/or served by an IEP. We also have gaps in outcomes for subgroups of students.
District Theory of Action:
If we design and implement the conditions for adult inquiry and authentic learning, supported through teacher leadership and learning communities, adult learning will result in shifts in instructional practices to increase student learning.
