Big Ideas

Red Flag: Eyes Off the Prize

• High-stakes testing expectations have narrowed the curriculum and hindered the range of teaching practices needed to help students succeed.

• The effectiveness of classroom technology tools is undermined when they are purchased and used before sound pedagogical and professional development decisions are made.

Guideline: Sustaining a Coherent School Mission and Vision

• A district or school's mission is a moral imperative, reminding educators, students, and the community that the purpose of schooling is to provide all students with the educational tools to succeed in life.

• Mission and vision serve as powerful tools for sustaining what works while avoiding the lure of educational fads.
