We continue to build capacity and a commitment to action when it comes to student learning and achievement. I repeatedly hear across our district about literacy practices and personalized learning opportunities that drive student learning. When we all have a deeply understood sense of what needs to be done, and we can clearly see our part in achieving that purpose, coherence emerges and powerful things happen.
Coherence has to do with making sense, sticking together and connecting. Whether it be an exercise partner or a PLC team, it takes a shared depth of understanding about the purpose and nature of the work. We have great individuals in the School District of Waukesha. This is important, but cultures are even more important. I am proud to work as part of our school district culture that allows each of us to be mutually influential, whether it is highlighted in our upcoming WaukeshaONE conference, our recent Youth Summit, or our weekly PLC's...we have a culture of leaders at every level that are committed to focused action to support improved student outcomes.
Cultivating collaborative cultures is at the heart of system transformation. Thank you for deepening your own professional learning and challenging one another to do the same. Thank you for being responsible for our system priorities and goals. It is making a difference for our students and I have no doubt that our mid-year data will allow us to celebrate some pretty remarkable learning gains.
