I like the mission statement but think that success could be a bit more defined or clarified.

I agree with Debbie, Jan, Miller and Long. Success looks different for each individual but how do we measure it? What Miller said is excellent as what is are focus and are we as teacher aware of the changing world around us? I also agree with Drury that it's a good way to say what we want to do but again how do we define that for each individual student?

I think that our schools mission is very appropriate and I don't think anything needs to change.

Success will look different dependent on the individual. I think we need to make sure that we incorporate a broad definition of success to capture many post-high school situations (i.e college, work, community/citizenship, etc). The "ever-changing" component suggests to me that we really teach skills of problem solving, flexibility and adaptability.

Kristen Long - Success in an "ever changing world" will look different in different kids. If we over-define success, we may leave out our higher need kids. It needs to be a statement that works for everyone.

How do we define success (as Heather stated)? Is this a realistic misson?

I agree with many of the posts, success needs to be further defined and are we as teachers aware of what world is changing to? Also, is the focus strictly curricular or is there preparation for work place ideals and moral fortitude?

Can we use "Excellence in Learning for All" as our building's mission as well, even though it is the official district's mission?  I think ours could be re-worded a little to sound more concise. -Laura Kuhrts
