Why Reorganize: A Few Good Reasons • Our Reorganization Plan is designed to send a clear, unambiguous message to the organization about what activities are important to raise student achievement. • Our plan clearly designates who is held accountable for the results. • Our plan links LDOE’s organizational strategy to offices that contain the right complement of staff to implement changes.
Why Reorganize: A Few More Reasons • LDOE Focus: 630,321 Public School Students. Our Plan is student-centric. The Goal Offices — Literacy, STEM and College & Career — provide interventions directly. • Whatever our budget resources, as stewards of taxpayer dollars, we must assign resources to most effectively and efficiently support student achievement.
Becoming Student-Centric • The reorganization has a distinct student focus • Nine Critical Goals covering expectations for student achievement have been assigned to three content areas underpinning the reorganization: • Literacy • STEM • College & Career Readiness
Critical Goal Areas Literacy Goals • Students enter kindergarten ready to learn. • Students are literate by the third grade. • Students will enter fourth grade on time. • Students perform at or above grade level in English Language Arts by eighth grade. • Achieve all critical goals, regardless of race or class.
Critical Goal Areas Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) Goals • Students perform at or above grade level in math by eighth grade. • Meet other math- and science-related goals. • Achieve this critical goal, regardless of race or class.
Critical Goal Areas College & Career Readiness Goals • Students will graduate on time. • Students will enroll in post-secondary education or graduate workforce-ready. • Students will successfully complete at least one year of post-secondary education. • Achieve all critical goals, regardless of race or class.
