To identify, recruit, develop and retain highly effective talent. This IS THE Work Learning and Teaching Achievement Balanced Assessment Human Capital Community Engagement To provide teachers and students with the opportunity to participate in a relevant, rigorous, innovative and comprehensive learning environment. To increase proficiency and growth rates across all groups and eliminate predictability of achievement. To develop and implement a balanced assessment system that accurately reflects students’ knowledge of core curriculum standards as well as the ability to collaborate, be creative, communicate and think critically. To foster shared responsibility for student success by building trust, collaboration, and engagement among staff, families and community partners. To identify, recruit, develop and retain highly effective talent. We are an organization focused on these five areas - this is THE work. So much so that Learning and Teaching, Achievement and Balanced Assessment are all one committee now as we can not address one of these areas without the other. These areas cover us and define what we do every day to make a difference for every child. Where are we in our SP process? We are defining our strategies through the core work of learning and teaching. Designing resources to build knowledge, skill, and support. Building collaborations with teachers, students, parents, business owners, stakeholders...to define what we want our learners to look like when they leave us, what teachers should look like to create this learners, what leaders will look like to create environments that allow for the learning and teaching that we know should occur We are fortunate in Wake. We ALREADY HAVE the resources needed to do this work.
