Happy 2018 Colleagues! As we venture down fresh paths and commit to new habits in 2018, it is a good time to take a moment to reorient ourselves to the strategic goals of our organization. Earlywood’s Strategic Plan was adopted last fall. The plan includes four strategic goals. Please take a moment to review the goals and reflect on how you can bring this vision to life in your day to day actions.

To hold high expectations for students & ourselves

•         Demonstrate actions illuminating that children can and will achieve at high levels.
•         Engage in professional discourse that challenges conventional thinking.

To engage in practices driven by evidence & to make decisions based on data

•         Cite evidence in communications and provide justification for decisions.
•         Utilize data to make decisions about students, programs, and services.

To provide leadership through professional development & communications

•         Involve stakeholders in comprehensive professional development aligned to student needs.
•         Facilitate Professional Learning Communities to guide practice.
•         Deliver communications that share research and practical guidance.

To collaborate with & be responsive to the needs of our member districts

•         Understand the needs within the local schools.
•         Create solutions through synergy.
•         Build relationships with member district colleagues.

Wishing you a wonderful New Year as you work diligently for equity, access, and outcomes for students!
Cheers!
