World’s Best Workforce 2023-2024 Final Plan (New)
This plan has been developed to comply with MN Statute 201.B11. The plan is developed to provide a comprehensive, long-term strategic plan to support and improve teaching and learning that is aligned with creating the world’s best workforce. Our plan was started in conjunction with our district plan that was developed and adopted in 2015. The five goals that are the focus of the plan include:
Ensuring that all students are ready for kindergarten, making progress to close the achievement gap among our students, preparing all students in third grade to achieve grade level literacy, ensuring that all students attain career and college readiness before graduation from high school, and striving to have all students graduate from high school.
This plan is a blueprint that demonstrates how current district initiatives, policies, and plans work together to create a quality workforce that will be equipped with the necessary skills for the 21st century.
