DoDDS
Pacific Director's Message
The
2001-2006 DODEA Community Strategic Plan (CSP) serves as
the blueprint for our educational and support operations
in DoDDS Pacific, and all regional activities are aligned
with and supportive of its goals. The CSP ensures that we
achieve DoDEA's important mission, to "provide in
military communities worldwide, exemplary educational programs
that inspire and prepare all students for success in a global
environment."
Planning
and initial implementation of the CSP began in School Year
2001-2002, and full implementation for all initiatives is
currently underway. Each initiative is designed to ensure
that DoDDS Pacific achieves the goals for the CSP by 2006.
Goal 1, Highest Student Achievement, is the cornerstone
of the plan because it touches the very heart of what we
stand for. It will ensure that all students demonstrate
mastery of rigorous subject matter as determined through
a variety of performance-based assessments. As a result
of Goal 1, we are committed to a standards-based curriculum
that challenges all students and provides effective support
structures to prepare them for continuous learning and productive
citizenship. Within the schools, we accomplish this through
the school improvement process.
Goals
2, 3, and 4 are crucial to our attainment of Goal 1. Goal
2, Performance Driven Management Systems, focuses
on how we allocate our resources, maintain or improve our
facilities and equipment, and provide a safe and secure
environment for students and staff. Goal 3, Motivated,
High Performing Work Force, addresses our personnel
management practices and staff development opportunities
for administrators, educators, and support personnel. Initiatives
related to this goal include focused teacher recruitment,
mentoring programs, and continuous professional growth and
development for all personnel. Goal 4, Network of Partnerships
Promoting Achievement, centers on developing and maintaining
partnerships and establishing two-way communication within
school communities. The goal stresses the involvement of
all stakeholders in activities that enhance and improve
the delivery of educational programs and support services
in DoDDS Pacific.
The
DoDEA Community Strategic Plan is the foundation for the
attainment of our vision: Communities Investing in Success
for All Students. With the plan as our guide, I believe
DoDDS Pacific will continue to do an outstanding job educating
our students.
I
thank all of you - our administrators, teachers, parents,
and military Commands - for your support and dedication
to this effort. Everything that we do is for the children
we all care so much about.

Director, DoDDS Pacific
