St. Cloud Area School District 742 administration, school board representation and teachers partnered with parents and other community members to develop a strateic roadmap (link: http://isd742.org/StaffNET/TeamWorks/Sessions/040809Roadmap.pdf). Even though this document is still in draft form, this "development process" will work to guide change to impact student achievement.
We are going to accomplish this with a scorecard system that will work internally to drive change toward the "strategic directions" that are identified in the document. These strategic directions identify a vision for the this district with the use of a rubric that is designed to capture formative and summative data to to determine our success (or lack of it).
This transparent process will measure all strategic directions to drive change. We believe this will hold us accountable to excellence in the management of District 742.
