Transcript of “We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things,...
“We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.”
-JFK; Rice U Sept 12, 1962

Why do you do what you do?
AEA System Compact “co-ownership of student learning”
Our goal is that by 2018, every child in Iowa who graduates will be fully prepared for success in post-secondary studies, a career, citizenship and in life!• To achieve this, we need to ensure that:
– Every Iowa child is proficient in reading by the end of third grade.
– Every child has the math skills needed to succeed.– Learning gaps between students with disabilities and
those without are reduced by at least half.– That students enter post-secondary opportunities with
the skills and attitude they need to succeed.
What & How
• Special Education (80%)– Identification/Eligibility is only first step– Closing the gap; getting RESULTS from specially
designed instruction• General Education (10%)
– Focus on early literacy (C4K)– Core (& Next Generation Science Standards)
• Media Technology (10%)– Maximize resource utilization– Seamless integration into learning

OUR EXPECTATIONS
To Improve the Learning Outcomes for EACH child…
• Know WHY you (we) are here• Serve others (fill your own bucket)• Contribute (lead) • Inspire passion (in yourself & others)• Problem solve (think)• Advocate for education• Focus on Results (Results Only Work Environment; ROWE)• Be well…wellness in all areas of your life• Innovate (be creative)• Get connected• Have fun!! We mean it…
Your Expectations For Us…
• Communication; in the loop
• Challenge me; clear expectations for what’s expected
• Accountability; trying to make sure people are doing what they’re doing (Shifting the Monkey)
• Being open to change; “that’s the way we do it here”
• Balance of support and challenge
• Trust and respect that we’re doing our best
“I believe that if you’ve got the platform and the ability to make a difference, then this goes beyond “should’ and reaches the level of
“must.” You must make a difference or you squander
the opportunity. Wasting the opportunity both degrades
your own ability to contribute and, more
urgently, takes something away from the rest of us.” Poke the Box by Seth Godin
Have a
great
year!
