Standard 1

Develop, advocate, and enact a shared mission, vision, and core values of high-quality education and academic success and well-being of each student. Education leaders build consensus among all stakeholders to develop an educational mission, vision, and core values of what students should know and do as a consequence of their schooling, as well as what it means for students to become well-adjusted, contributing members of society. Building such a vision supported by core values can require reconciling possibly competing perspectives among diverse members of the school community. Based on this vision, leaders work with school and community members to establish the school’s mission, and to plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate impact to promote continuous and sustainable improvement. Effective leaders:

• 1. Using relevant data and in collaboration with school and community members, develop an educational mission, vision and statement of core values for the school to promote student success and well-being.

  2. In collaboration with members of the school and the community and using relevant data, develop and promote a vision for student success and well-being by articulating, advocating, and cultivating core values that define the school’s culture and stress the imperative of child-centered education; high expectations and student support; equity, inclusiveness, and social justice; openness, caring, and trust; and continuous improvement.

  3. Utilize best practices to strategically identify, implement, and evaluate actions to achieve the vision, mission, and core values for the school.

  4. Ensure core values support processes and procedures that allow all students access to the most effective teachers and an instructional program that will ensure they are college and career ready.

  5. Develop a systematic, inclusive, and comprehensive process to review, revise, and communicate the school’s mission, vision and core values, and respond to changing expectations and opportunities for the school, and changing needs and situations of students.

  6. Develop shared understanding of and commitment to mission, vision, and core values within the school and the community.

  7. Monitor communications and actions to build and sustain school and community alignment with the shared vision, mission, and core values.

  8. Model and pursue the school’s mission, vision, and core values in all aspects of leadership.

PSEL Standard 1 Summary

Standard 1 focuses on school leaders effectively creating collaborations to develop and commit to a mission and vision that reflects the needs of the students and the community it serves. An effective leader understands that all students can learn and works collaboratively with teachers and other stakeholders to create the verbiage that captures this concept. This standard emphasizes the importance of developing a shared understanding of the mission, vision and values and the need for a mutual commitment. By bringing parents and other stakeholders into the vision process, school leaders are acting as an advocate for the best interest of the school community. A mission and vision statement should serve as a reference and form of measure for daily school interests.

Artifact #2-New Parent Home Visits (PBE)

Artifact 2 is an effort to build a bridge with the community, the principal tasked me to create a schedule signup sheet for teachers to use to manage their home visit time. Home visits are a direct way in which school leaders expand the purpose set forth by the schools mission and vision statement. During home visits, teachers, parents and students discuss the importance of the mission and vision of the school and build rapport. This is very important because new parents feel as though they have an ally in the school at all times, and they understand that they are a part of the mission and vision of the school.
