Since July, we've established our SMARTE goals for 2025-26 (teacher collaboration, teacher practice, and student outcome). We've also mapped out our learning cycle and established processes for progress monitoring. We're building our professional learning sessions and organizing learning walks, data collection, and analysis to build schoolwide capacity around the Von Steuben Vision for Meaningful Work.
