If we expect every student to become the Vision of the Graduate…

How do we design a system that expects and ensures that every student in every class every day is becoming the Vision of the Graduate?

Does our Vision of the Graduate need revision?

Discussion

Redesign Strategic Plan and Indicators of Success

5 Priorities become 3

1. Engage the community as partners in the every student becoming VoG(combines 1 & 5)

2. Every student in every class every day thinking deeply and attaining competence

3. Organizational systems to support every student, every class, every day

Priority #1

➤ Engage the Naugatuck Community in sharing the responsibility for creating experiences that will ensure that all students become the Vision of the Graduate

With your team, answer the following question:

1. Does the Priority capture the essence of the real work? Recommend revisions or wonderings

Priority #1

➤ Engage the Naugatuck Community in sharing the responsibility for creating experiences that will ensure that all students become the Vision of the Graduate

Rationale: If we engage the community in a shared understanding and commitment to the Vision of the Graduate and the NPS competencies, then all citizens will be equipped to support and sustain students as they become the Vision of the Graduate.

With your team, answer the following question:

1. Does the rational explain how what we think we need to do (IF) and if done well, would it yield the desired result (then)? Recommend revisions or wonderings

Hand Out Whole Structure for Priority 1

Look at the strategies – will they work? What would you add? Delete? Wonderings

Look at the indicators – how do they work - recommendations
