Strategies & Purpose Statements
Strategies describe starting points for system change and serve as platforms for exploration and discovery. Our strategies take into account our entire community and education system, focusing heavily on people and relationships. Strategic Emergence Teams, composed of staff members, community members, parents, and learners, created purpose statements, which serve to inspire creation of the work to be done. The concepts presented in these strategies and purpose statements are echoed throughout the Strategic Framework, including building meaningful relationships based on trust and respect; serving the needs of all learners equitably; and ensuring continuous growth and meaningful reflection throughout our organization.
Competency based learning is a fundamental part of this system change and is called out within Strategy 3 and Strategy 5, as shared below. To see more about Farmington Area Public School's Strategic Framework, click HERE.
Strategy 3:
We will ensure the individual agency conducive to student-driven learning.
Purpose Statements:
Educators partner with learners to make intentional learning choices and support them at each stage of the learning process including setting goals, initiating action toward goals, reflection and revision.
In a competency-based system, learners focus on demonstrating skills, articulating what they are learning, and why they are learning it.
Discussions and collaborations at all levels reflect on progress and growth.
Learners take risks to have enhanced experiences where the results may be different from expectations and are necessary for growth.
Learners collaborate and communicate across communities to engage in rich, real-world learning experiences motivated by their passions and interests.
Strategy 5:
We will give knowledge meaning.
Purpose Statements:
Learning experiences are tailored to each learner’s applicable strengths, needs, and/or talents.
Opportunities are provided for collaborative learning experiences through projects, mentoring, and exposure to diverse thinking.
Educators are supported and encouraged to explore new learning methodologies that will help learners excel in the classroom and community.
Our community will create and encourage a collaborative approach to competency-based learning experience with meaningful evidence and relevant skills.
