Educational Values Students
Our community stakeholder group worked to envision the future of GA and identify competencies that would lead our students to success. Once a draft was developed, we asked our peer leaders at the high school for feedback. They were provided with the draft documents and offered feedback. Students were surveyed again in the spring of 2024 to gather their perceptions and feedback as to the quality and experience of their education. This information is critical to our planning for the 2025-2028 goals. Staff Initially, members of our GA staff participated as critical participants in our stakeholder group, referred to as our Destination Design Team. Once this group drafted the core competencies to define the Portrait of a GA Graduate, our entire staff was asked to review the documents and provide feedback. Additionally, staff were asked to begin to develop each competency further by identifying what the competency is and is not. Over the previous three-year comprehensive plan, our staff work in teams to design and align our curriculum to the core competencies and the state standards. Staff have worked with us to develop learning principles that guide our instructional design and define for our district what high quality, effective practices look like in our classrooms. These have become the expectations for all teachers across grades and content. Staff were surveyed in the spring of 2024 to gather feedback on our climate, educational setting, and expectations. The information gathered is being used to create our 2025-2028 comprehensive plan.
