It is essential that DoDEA honors that position of trust by providing updates to all of its stakeholders on progress towards accomplishing its Mission to educate, engage, and empower each student to succeed in a dynamic world. The sunset of the Community Strategic Plan for SY 2013/14-SY 2017/18 presents an important opportunity to update DoDEA’s stakeholders on the progress that has been made towards fulfilling the commitments made in the plan. This document describes the DoDEA’s progress over the past five years. COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN CLOSEOUT 1 D i r e c t o r ’ s M e s sag e Dear Parents, Students, Staff, and Members ofOur Community, As our Community Strategic Plan (CSP) for School Years 2013/14-2017/18 comes to a close, it is important to reflect on our five-year journey and take time to celebrate the successes and learn from the challenges. We have made profound strides in becoming a unified school system,“OneDoDEA” and realizing our Vision to be among the world’s leaders in education, enriching the lives of military connected students and the communities in which they live. When I arrived at DoDEA and began visiting schools and speaking with our valued employees, stakeholders and our students, it became clear very quickly that, while we had a great Vision, we were trying to accomplish too much at one time. As a result, we published a second version of the CSP which narrowed our focus to our most essential strategic imperatives: establishing an educational system that progressively builds the college and career readiness of all DoDEA students; and, restructuring our above school level echelons to better support students by increasing organizational capacity and operating more effectively as a unified school system. We made remarkable progress towards preparing DoDEA students to thrive as the leaders of tomorrow through the implementation of a standards based education system that aligns curriculum, instruction, and assessments. To that end, we adopted College and Career Ready Standards (CCRS) for multiple subjects; updated instructional strategies with methods and supports that address students’ individual learning needs; and developed the DoDEA Comprehensive Assessment System (DoDEA CAS) . Taken together, these changes represent a leap forward and our educators are to be commended for their hard work and commitment to DoDEA students. In my first 100 Days Report, I outlined some of the steps we would take to improve our ability to operate globally asa high-performing, unified school system. The Restructuring for Student Achievement (RSA) initiative, a four-year effort, established organizational capacity to improve student achievement and school operations. This initiative required systemic collaboration, cooperation, integrating efforts, making decisions and taking action. Our decisions were based on focusing our all of our efforts on improving student achievement; maximizing resources; providing targeted assistance to schools; and establishing a framework and culture of accountability. While we have “completed” RSA, we have committed to continuous improvement wherein we are never in a state of completion, but always in a mindset of improvement. I encourage each of you to take
