Student Success Team's Weekly Update Submission
Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback on which goals to use. Each of you developed goals at the beginning of the year that are connected to the Divisionwide Goals outlined in our Corrective Action Plan.
In answering which goal your weekly action supports, you may reference your personal goals OR the divisionwide goals. Ideally, the two will be closely connected.
As a reminder, the goals outlined in our Corrective Action Plan are:
- Engage students in challenging and relevant learning experiences that foster creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and communication
- Recruit, hire and retain quality leaders and teachers who believe their talent and investment of time make a difference
- Establish purpose and direction for the division through the development of a strategic plan
- Create environments conducive to teaching and learning by strengthening relationships within schools
- Strategically engage parents in the academic success of their children by collaborating with community partners
