SUPERINTENDENT MALDONADO’S ENTRY PLAN - CALUMET PUBLIC SCHOOL D132
Listen, Discover, Communicate, Empower My entry plan is grounded in a purposeful and collaborative approach centered on Listen, Discover, Communicate, and Empower . Effective leadership begins with understanding, and I will prioritize listening to the voices of students, staff, families, and community members to gain a deep appreciation of their experiences, values, and aspirations for Calumet Park School District 132. Through school visits, community engagements, and structured opportunities for dialogue, this phase is designed to build trust, strengthen relationships, and ensure that leadership decisions are informed by those closest to the work. Listening first allows me to honor the district’s culture while developing a clear understanding of its strengths and areas for continued growth. Building on these insights, I will engage in a comprehensive discovery process to develop a coherent understanding of the district’s instructional program, culture, and operational systems. This includes analyzing student achievement data, reviewing curriculum and assessment practices, observing teaching and learning, and examining the systems that support staff and students. A clear and accurate understanding of current conditions is essential to ensuring alignment and coherence across the system. Clear, consistent, and transparent communication will be a priority throughout the entry process. I will
provide the Board of Education and stakeholders with regular updates that highlight key themes, affirm district strengths, and surface opportunities for continued progress. Communication will be intentional and accessible, creating a shared understanding of the district’s current reality while fostering confidence and trust in the leadership process. Finally, in partnership with the Board of Education and district stakeholders, I will translate these insights into clear, strategic next steps to empower the district, build on existing strengths, and advance priorities. This work will be grounded in alignment, coherence, and sustainability— ensuring that initiatives are focused, well- supported, and responsive to the needs of the community. By taking this deliberate and inclusive approach, the district will be well-positioned to continue its progress while strengthening outcomes and opportunities for all students.
