During the
2012-2013 school year our district worked diligently to create a strategic
plan. The reason for that work was to
create a clear vision for our district and track our progress to ensure
organizational improvement. In January,
the school board engaged in a board retreat to begin planning for the 2014-2015
school year. The board was also updated
on the progress of the approved strategic plan.
Our strategic
plan consists of five vision cards:
Vision
Card A: Raise Achievement; Close the Gap and Prepare Students for Their Futures
Vision
Card B: Align Core Process of Learning and Best Practices in Teaching Through
Collaborative Teaming
Vision
Card C: Develop Partnerships to Engage Faculty, Family and Community
Vision Card D:
Effectively Manage Human, Financial and Physical Resources
Vision Card E:
Establish Trust Through Transparency
Within each
vision card we have five levels of attainment:
Level 1 –
Intervention
Level 2 – High
Concern
Level 3 –
Baseline
Level 4 –
Progressing
Level 5 – Vision
Results:
Vision Card A –
60% of our goals were at baseline or above.
Vision Card B –
67% of our goals were at baseline or above.
Vision Card C –
100% of our goals were at baseline or above.
Vision Card D –
100% of our goals were at baseline or above.
Vision Card E –
67% of our goals were at baseline or above.
We are pleased
with the progress in meeting our district’s vision. The board made some adjustments to language
in the strategic plan and also raised the bar in certain areas. The Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton school
board, staff, students, parents and communities are committed to continuous
improvement. We will continue to adjust
our practice until our vision is met within each Vision Card. Should you be interested in reviewing our
strategic plan, please feel free to contact me directly.
Our mission:
“Our district will empower
learning, energize achievement and enhance community. Excellence without excuse!”
As always, if
you ever have any questions, please feel free to stop in, call or e-mail.
