Over the past year, the Strategic Leadership and Design Team (SLDT) has worked diligently to improve the school for our community. Meeting every two weeks, the team analyzed data, conducted interviews, and created a plan to enhance the overall school experience.
Next year’s goals focus on creating an environment where students, employees, and parents thrive. We are dedicated to providing an exceptional educational experience that nurtures authenticity, promotes inclusion, and fosters reciprocity within our culture of care. School Wide Goal 1 - Student Experience
How might students experience authenticity, practice inclusion and actuate reciprocity in our culture of care?
School Wide Goal 2 - Parent Experience
How do we improve the parents’ experience to increase their sense of belonging and pride?
School Wide Goal 3 - Employee Experience
How might we improve employee experience to retain talent?
For students, experiencing authenticity may mean creating opportunities for self-expression, celebrating diversity, and cultivating a sense of belonging. Through engaging and meaningful learning experiences, students are encouraged to explore their passions, embrace their unique identities, and develop the confidence to express themselves authentically.
We recognize the importance of inclusion and continue to strive to ensure every student feels valued and supported. We promote empathy, respect, and appreciation for individual differences by fostering an inclusive environment. Students learn to celebrate diversity, collaborate with peers from various backgrounds, and contribute to a harmonious and inclusive school community.
Reciprocity is at the heart of our culture of care. We believe in nurturing a spirit of giving and gratitude, where students are encouraged to demonstrate kindness, empathy, and compassion towards others. Through increased service-learning projects, community partnerships, and meaningful engagement with the wider world, students will foster reciprocity and the positive impact they can have on their local and global communities.
To improve the employee experience and retain top talent, we are committed to enhancing professional growth opportunities, fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment, and recognizing the valuable contributions of our staff. Investing in our employees' well-being, professional development, and work-life balance creates an environment where talent is nurtured, and educators feel valued and motivated to deliver their best for our students.
We also strive to improve the parents' experience and increase a sense of belonging and pride within our school community. By actively involving parents in decision-making processes, providing meaningful opportunities for engagement, and fostering open communication, we can create a strong partnership between the school and parents. We aim to enhance the user experience through regular updates, events, and initiatives that celebrate involvement and contribute to a sense of belonging and pride in being part of the ISHCMC family.
As a united community, we are committed to achieving these school goals and continually improving the educational experience for our students, employees, and parents. Through authenticity, inclusion, reciprocity, and a strong sense of community, we create a vibrant and nurturing environment where everyone can thrive and succeed.
