2025-06-16 15:43:17 UTC

To ensure that the work we do every day is helping our students succeed at their greatest level when they leave us

2025-06-16 15:43:43 UTC

I'm really excited and hopeful that we will have a more rigorous, consistent curricula across the district and content areas that raises the bar for all students and, in turn, raises student achievement.

2025-06-16 15:43:56 UTC

I hope that this work together is beneficial and that it yields positive outcomes for the students that we serve.

2025-06-16 15:44:21 UTC

We have wonderful students and staff. Once the staff understands the why- they will work to move mountains.

2025-06-16 15:44:31 UTC

To ensure that we have a strong curriculum that helps our students succeed

Excitement to work in community to support teachers and students!

I'm excited to join in community with these wonderful educators. I'm struck by Liz's comment- it's not about us, it's about students. I look forward to supporting students through this powerful work. (This is Christine.)

2025-06-16 15:44:45 UTC

I think we are all motivated to do the best for our students and put in the work!

2025-06-16 15:44:56 UTC

I am looking forward to seeing what is working well and what needs attention. A lot of what needs to be addressed can be overshadowed/hidden in plain sight.

2025-06-16 15:45:16 UTC

That we create a coherent vision for curriculum and instruction that pushes our students to their potential.

2025-06-16 15:45:46 UTC

We need to make sure that we collectively move forward- we need the majority to be on board to create the biggest impact

Hopes & Dreams

tgibsonwhite — 2025-06-16 15:45:58 UTC

My desire is to have a solid, Tier 1 curriculum with teaching strategies, practices, and differentiation that would lead to solid, universal, core support for all students to effectively succeed. With a solid Tier 1, we have a good foundation to support Tier 2 and Tier 3 needs.

2025-06-16 15:46:07 UTC

My greatest hope is that staff will embrace the value of what a collective deep dive into our practices can bring so that we can continue on an upward trajectory.

2025-06-16 15:46:24 UTC

We are very focused on our students holistically.

2025-06-16 15:46:29 UTC

We are a family that supports and respects all stakeholders. We work collaboratively to be the best that we can be for our stakeholders and ourselves.

2025-06-16 15:46:32 UTC

We have a veteran staff that has plateaued, making change very difficult. My hope is that this is a catalyst for change to benefit the students.

2025-06-16 15:46:53 UTC

Collaboration and willingness to ensure everyone can succeed.

2025-06-16 15:47:05 UTC

We all began in this field for a purpose. My goal is to return to my original purpose, which is to educate and make a positive impact in the lives of our students.

2025-06-16 15:47:19 UTC

Doing a lot of things and not really knowing which things are giving us the biggest bang for our buck.

2025-06-16 15:47:49 UTC

We have presented our staff with a lot over the years, many programs and tools, that they probably don't always know how to put together in a coherent structure. This work will need to be presented as helping with that and not another thing.

2025-06-16 15:48:10 UTC

We need more time to work together on common district goals and to have more time for collaboration as a district leadership/curriculum team. We tend to work in silos a lot.

2025-06-16 15:49:25 UTC

People are doing what they have done for years, thinking there is no need for change.

2025-06-16 15:49:33 UTC

We operate with a collaborative and team spirit within our district. Our staff have are dedicated and have spent a great deal of effort within the last few years developing components of the UbD curriculum.

tgibsonwhite — 2025-06-16 15:49:41 UTC

Teachers' mindsets about what students are capable of achieving can influence their teaching, often leading to lowered expectations in some cases.

2025-06-16 15:50:11 UTC

Our greatest strength is our willingness to have a growth mindset.

tgibsonwhite — 2025-06-16 15:56:10 UTC

Working in many silos.
