1. Be Data Driven
Compile and apply objective data and key indicators to improve performance rather than drive accountability and compliance.
The Blueprint for Educational Change will:
- Articulate the regional educational landscape, identifying needs and priorities across traditional boundaries.
- Measure and chart progress and best practices toward our common goals.
- Amplify the region’s voice in relation to key statewide and national legislative efforts.
2. Harness Our Talents
The region’s greatest asset is the vast talent of educational institutions, teachers, community based organizations and parents committed to improving educational outcomes for our students.
The Blueprint for Educational Change will:
- Align priorities, policies and resources among these institutions and organizations.
- Expand the scale and reach of their successes across traditional boundaries.
3. Engage the Community
The level of community involvement in our region’s educational institutions, community based organizations and citizens will directly affect the success of our children and our region’s economy.
The Blueprint for Educational Change will:
- Accelerate progress by identifying opportunities to leverage resources, troubleshoot barriers, and build consensus.
- Improve the level of communication between institutions and the people they serve (students and parents).
- Increase the level of citizen and community involvement in education and promote a culture of learning in our region.
