READY! Greencastle-Antrim staff and community members Set Sail in 2020 to determine where we were going. Using the Portrait of a Graduate process, the initial team spent months developing our five core competencies, which was the catalyst to the redesign of our curriculum and assessment framework. In 2023, we developed the GASD Advisory Council to engage our stakeholders in monitoring the progress of our goals and maintain a course for continuous improvement as a district. During the 2022-2025 comprehensive plan cycle, we targeted curriculum design and the development of our comprehensive assessment framework. We also worked to formalize our multi-tiered system of supports to address the unique needs of our learners. It is our expectation that this plan continues to propel us forward as it maintains our high expectations and aligns with our beliefs and values as a community. We articulate those through our GASD Core Competencies and efforts to provide students support in finding their pathways beyond graduation. Steering Committee GASD Advisory Council members (those that attended multiple sessions) as well as GASD school board members, administrators and staff contributed to the development and/or review of this plan. Needs assessments were conducted in the spring of 2024 and fall of 2024 to gather perceptual data from our families and staff. Trends in local, state, and national assessments provided additional feedback that assisted in identifying our strengths and challenges as a district. Staff in each building were able to review the information and provide insights into what was working well and strategies that could help address our challenges.
