As a team, representative of Special Education, Federal Programs (EL, Title I, Migrant, Immigrant), G&T, Core Content Coordinators, Assessment, Professional Learning, Curriculum and Campus Leadership, Administrative Assistants, we have developed specific goals that directly align with the district priorities, a plan for L4L teams to be visible in your buildings, and a process for monitoring progress along the way. It is our intention to be proactive and responsive in ways that support professional growth, improve implementation of professional learning communities, standards-based planning, and data-driven decisions. Please communicate with your campus principal how we can support you. Our desired effect is to "lead for learning".  It's ultimately about the impact on students, ensuring they will be able to "thrive" in an ever-changing world. 

It's evident already that as a district, we are building cohesiveness.  During Thursday Walks, and C4I days, we heard common language around our district priorities and witnessed teachers experimenting with success criteria.  This is how we grow as professionals, try it, take a risk, put the learning in the hands of our students and assess the learning impact.  The classroom transformation from teacher centered to student-centered is becoming visible. Keep the momentum going!

Please pay attention to our blogs this year!  We heard your feedback from last year and will focus on timely communication of professional learning opportunities, updates and resources from our Curriculum Department, and effective practices around instruction, assessment, and leadership. 

We have so much to be proud of, every consultant that visits our district notices the dedication, commitment, and desire to make a difference for all student!  That is a great compliment!  Thank you for your courage, collaboration, and continued efforts to "Be GRAND"!
