    The leadership team worked to revise the school's vision and mission statements. They created a concise new vision statement through a collaborative process with teachers. However, the development of the accompanying mission statement was rushed. The new mission statement just listed existing practices rather than setting ambitious new goals. Additionally, the vision statement was never fully rolled out to other stakeholders. Going forward, more time needs to be taken to develop mission statements, get feedback, and communicate new vision and mission statements to the entire school community.

    Standard A: Instructional Leadership for Continuous Improvement

    a. Participate in the schools leadership team for a school year.


    Description:
    I have served on the leadership team for three years. The leadership team is composed of
    the administration, the grade level chair from each grade level, and representatives of additional
    groups represented in our staff. We meet one time each month to discuss situations in the school
    and try to determine solutions.
    What went well?
    This year, the leadership team worked to revise the vision and mission statement for the
    school. This revision was determined needed after it became apparent that teachers, parents, and
    students were unaware or using the current vision or mission. The vision statement was long,
    wordy, and it included too much information. The goal was to create a short, concise statement
    that even young students would be able to recite and understand.
    To begin this process, at a staff meeting, each teacher wrote their vision statement for the
    school. Grade levels met together, and they merged the vision statements into one. As a
    leadership team, we met to review the vision statements from each grade level to combine them
    into one another. We discussed the strengths from each grade levels vision and worked to
    narrow it down to a short and concise statement. We focused on keeping the vocabulary
    appropriate for elementary age students.
    What did not?
    The beginning stages of this process were very thought out, but once the school year
    began, the final steps were pushed to the side or rushed through. The next step was to develop a
    mission statement that would lay out what our school would do to make the vision statement

    obtainable. However, this step was rushed through very quickly at a leadership team meeting.
    Our vision statement centered on the idea that everyone in our school would be successful. In
    order to create the mission statement, we listed best practices that were used in our school.
    These best practices were listed as the mission statement of the school. By just listing what we
    already did, we were not stretching ourselves or school to be something better. Our vision
    statement reached high, but the mission statement did not offer high goals, and it was generic.
    In addition, our goal for the vision statement was that students, teachers, and parents
    would be able to say the statement if asked. We did create a concise statement, but it was never
    rolled out to other teachers, students, or parents.
    Given the chance to do it again, how would you do it better?
    If I could redo the experience, I would slow down the process. The mission statement
    was a key part of raising school improvement. It should have been reviewed several times by
    administration, the leadership team, and teachers to ensure that it stretched everyone to their full
    potential. Once the mission statement is complete, it needs to be officially presented to staff and
    asked for feedback to ensure buy in. The mission statement needs to be posted somewhere in the
    school to ensure that it is read by others.
    In addition, I would have had a student assembly to introduce the new vision statement
    and to explain what it means to students. We would begin the morning announcements by
    reviewing the vision of the school. I would have sent a letter home to parents informing them of
    the new vision statement for the school, and how we can all work together to grow towards our
    vision.
