Leadership and Vision – SSR Findings
| Strength Areas | Growth Areas |
|---|---|
| Leadership: Effective communication lines have been established between district and stakeholders making the district’s mission and values the ultimate goal. | Leadership: Teacher survey results indicate a desire for increased parent involvement in academics and greater consistency in engagement practices across the district, not limited to the elementary level. Staff members have also expressed interest in having a stronger voice in the planning and structure of professional development days. Additionally, the district currently lacks a formal in house mentorship program. Continued efforts to strengthen and refine parent communication remain a priority. |
| Vision: The secondary levels are actively implementing the district’s vision within their instructional practices. The Board consistently centers the organization’s vision and mission in its decisions and policies and demonstrates trust in the administrative team and educators. | Vision: Opportunities exist to explore innovative approaches that further empower students to develop leadership skills in diverse and meaningful ways. Increasing teacher involvement in the SCAP process would strengthen shared ownership and alignment to district goals. While improvements have been made to CTE programs, continued refinement and expansion should remain a focus. Additionally, educators have expressed a need for dedicated time to collaborate and learn from one another to further deepen alignment with the district’s vision. |
