Superintendent's Goals 2009-2010

These are the goals, as created by Superintendent Boone and presented to School Committee in December of last year, on which the superintendent will be evaluated next Thursday night.

GOAL: Develop and ensure effective district governance through positive school committee-superintendent relations

  • Objective: To establish the Committee and Superintendent as a cohesive leadership team with a student-centered agenda and begin to build positive working relationship with School Committee members

GOAL: Increase organizational effectiveness and efficiency

  • Objective: To align the district’s human capital to achieve focus on supporting schools to improve student achievement
  • Objective: To develop a budget that reflects the district’s alignment to a focus on student achievement and serves to address both quality teaching and learning along with the community’s values in education
GOAL: Increase student achievement for all students while simultaneously closing the achievement gap
  • Objective: To continue to focus on a common framework for continuous improvement resulting in the reduction of the number of schools not meeting state and federal expectations
GOAL: Improve public trust, commitment, and confidence through open, honest communication and responsive corrective action to identified obstacles to improving student achievement and the conditions of teaching and learning
  • Objective: To establish collaborative relationships and partnerships to garner understanding of and support for district efforts to improve student achievement
GOAL: Establish a supportive, positive and effective district climate and culture singularly focused on the improvement of student achievement, using a continuous improvement model
  • Objective: To design a comprehensive accountability system for Worcester Public Schools linking all district practices to student achievement
I know that I, and my colleagues, would welcome public input on this.
