Region 14’ Vision
?
What have we been aiming for?
Aiming for Excellence
Students
Teachers
If we provide ongoing, high quality,
professional learning based on
identified student and teacher
needs, then teachers will continue
to develop their professional craft
and student learning will improve.
Content
If we design meaningful
opportunities for students to
engage in and design their own
learning experiences, then
students will become
increasingly self-directed and
independent in 21st century
skills.
If we identify the knowledge and skills needed for students to be college and career ready in
the 21st century and develop a guaranteed, standards-based curriculum, then there will be
clarity, consistency and equity to what all students will learn and what all staff teach.
