  4. Academic ExcellenceGoal: Increase the achievement of all students by creating learning environments that successfully balance content, pedagogy, and student-teacher-parent relationships. “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. “ Aristotle “Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.” Steve Jobs

  5. Educational EquityGoal: Eliminate achievement gaps with at-risk students including ELL, students with disabilities, and children of need through individualized strategies and programs. “The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn’t been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.” Pablo Casals “Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.” John Fitzgerald Kennedy

  6. Using Data to Improve InstructionGoal:Foster a cycle of continuous improvement by using dataeffectively. “The goal is to transform data into information, and information into insight.” Carly Fiorina

  7. Educational TechnologyGoal: Embed technology throughout the district. “Students today are raised on technology, fundamentally changing the educational environment and how students interact, learn and share. Continued focus on eliminating barriers to education by leveraging technology and the network will help bridge the digital divide and deliver world-class education to everyone. Today’s students are the leaders of tomorrow and it is our duty to provide the education they need to shape the future.” Scott McNealy

  8. Community RelationsGoal: Bring community organizations together to combine resourcesand energize organizational participation and to create events to energize students to include parents in students’ activities. “Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children.” Sitting Bull “I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.” George Bernard Shaw

  9. Lifelong Quest for Learning “Wherever there are beginners and experts, old and young, there is some kind of learning going on, some kind of teaching. We are all pupils and we are all teachers.” Gilbert Highet

  10. Three Simple Steps to Reach Our Goal: • Know each student—academically and personally • Believe in each student • Match instruction to the needs of each student
