Closing the Gap

Community Involvement
  • Expand communication efforts beyond parents and wider community
  • Get a broader base of community involvement in school initiatives
  • Pursue avenues to include wider community involvement in planning, implementation, and evaluation processes to gain additional support
  • Expand electronic communication possibilities between the school/home/community

 

Engaged Learning
  • Continue to develop strategies that will move additional teachers from literacy uses to adapting/transforming uses to give all students opportunities to experience higher level learning/real world learning
  • Continue to explore technology as a tool for learning and its potential for new learning experiences that go beyond the classroom walls
  • Continue to offer students the opportunities to use a variety of tools in their learning
  • Continue to move from teacher centered to more student centered classroom environments
  • Continue efforts to have learning center teachers become co-partners in the instructional process
  • Address the area of assessment

 

Professional Development
  • Continue to meet the needs of teachers, learning center teachers, support personnel and administrators who are at different levels of readiness
  • Address needed changes in instructional practices with a sustained effort focused on measurable student results
  • Implement strategies for the identified system barriers that inhibit progress of the staff development program
  • Develop a plan that allows for collaborative efforts between district and building training efforts (support initiatives with building follow-up activities)

 

Tech Deployment and Sustainability
  • Continue to find funds/resources to maintain/upgrade equipment and plan for the replacement of equipment as it becomes "aging"
  • Continue to train teachers to use technology available in the instructional practice
