Can't Just Be A Dream

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!  I hope you find an opportunity to volunteer and give back to the community today.  It is always hard for educators to volunteer when we spend each day giving of ourselves to other BUT if you can today, please try.  Remember to email me a picture of yourself volunteering so I can post that TCEA made today a day ON and not just another day OFF.

I first want to thank the leadership team as well as all members of the staff for a productive and positive strategic team meeting this past Thursday. If you click on each of the strategic goals listed below, you will find an image, one sentence summative statement and hashtag that sums up that priority.  Please review these and commit them to memory.  These priorities are OUR PRIORITIES and it is up to all of us to achieve these goals.




Instruction
Teaching, Planning and Managing for the Future
#AtiInstruct


Intervention
Using growth mindset to reach every student
#GettingtotheYet

 High Quality Staff
The high quality staff is an intricate piece to a successful school
#fromTurnovertoTakeover


Leadership
A strong base interconnected through relationships built through the arts allowing all involved to be productive 21st century learners
#pullyourweight

Mission and Vision
Our vision is bright! Learning The Art of Success Everyday!
#TCEAMISSION360


Curriculum
Refine curriculum effectively
#designandrefine



Assessments
 Application of knowledge leads to well rounded students
#sustainablegrowth



 Stakeholders
Working together as a community
#StrongerTogether




The reason why I included a tie tin to Martin Luther King, Jr. is that for many people the only thing them think of when his name is mentioned is his "I Have a Dream" Speech but this man was much more than a speech.  His speeches are works of art but the actions behind the speeches are legendary. 



If we allow out strategic plan to just be words on paper then we are NOT going to make positive and lasting change.  We are going to be better than those sites that create improvement plans and post and then wonder why change did not take place.

I look forward to working this plan out with you as we grow into the school our students and community deserve,

Hope everyone has had a great weekend and see everyone tomorrow morning! - Angela
