8 Professional Learning Communities at Work, Richard DuFour & Robert Eaker, 1998 One Common Voice - One Plan Step 1: Getting Ready Mission, Vision, and Beliefs Mission Statement: Why do we exist? Your Mission/Purpose Statement describes your current reality. It needs to be crystal clear and only one line long. Vision Statement: What do we wish to become? Whereas mission establishes an organization's purpose, vision instills an organization with a sense of direction. It asks, “If we are true to our purpose now, what might we become at some point in the future?” Belief Statements: What do we value?

While all teachers provide students with an initial unit outline, some teachers also preview the goals and objectives of the units of study with students. A process is in place for all teachers to preview the goals and objectives of the units of study with students. A system is in place that provides all teachers with a developmentally appropriate way of articulating the curriculum to their students. Teachers provide meaningful examples of real life application of the goals and objectives of each unit of study. At the beginning of a unit of study, students are provided a clear understanding of how the goals and objectives will be assessed. Documents written in student-friendly language are translated into other primary spoken and written languages of the school and are reviewed orally. Strand I - Teaching For Learning » Standard 1 - Curriculum » Benchmark B - Communicated Key Characteristic - I.1.B.2 Students: The school makes a concerted effort to assure that all students have a clear understanding of what they are studying and why they are studying it.

The moment you complete this, you will have definitely given concrete form to the intangible desire. Napoleon Hill Leader as Lone Nut
