Focusing

Focusing:

During our "focusing stage" process, the staff immersed ourselves in the available data. We examined every aspect, employing the "decision-making framework" to chart the ramifications of focusing on each facet—what we observed, what we value, and the actionable steps within our reach to address the issues we uncovered.

Several trends and patterns were revealed to us in our data scan. We noted strengths among our student body, including their adeptness at adhering to routines, their overall active engagement in their personal physical health, their general compliance, and their strong sense of peer connection. We also discerned trends, such as challenges in perseverance amidst adversity, difficulty in problem-solving autonomously, a lack of connection to adults, and a general lack of resilience and collaborative skills.

With the aid of the "decision-making framework" and the consequence table structure, we collectively determined that our primary focus should be on enhancing critical thinking abilities and fostering a cohesive school culture that fosters strong connections between students and faculty. These initiatives were identified as holding the greatest potential for impactful change within our educational community.
