successful future in a global society. Regional School District 14

Region 14 Vision What have we been aiming for? ?
Slide 7
Teachers Students Content Aiming for Excellence If we design
meaningful opportunities for students to engage in and design their
own learning experiences, then students will become increasingly
self-directed and independent in 21 st century skills. If we
identify the knowledge and skills needed for students to be college
and career ready in the 21st century and develop a guaranteed,
standards-based curriculum, then there will be clarity, consistency
and equity to what all students will learn and what all staff
teach. If we provide ongoing, high quality, professional learning
based on identified student and teacher needs, then teachers will
continue to develop their professional craft and student learning
will improve.
