The WPCSD's vision is to collaboratively grow leaders who will change the world!
We recognize that aspiring to world class learning is a heavy lift; but it's one we embrace. We strive to align all of our endeavors toward this vision. We also recognize that it is likely we will fall short of world class learning in many ways. But the vision remains our guiding star, giving us a unified direction.
We invite learners and all stakeholders to contemplate world class learning in these domains:
Positive Identity: How do I lead myself using the competencies of self-management and courage?
Sense of Belonging: How do I lead with others using the competencies of social awareness and collaboration?
Original Thinking: How do I lead in learning using the competencies of original thinking and creativity?
Agency: How do I lead for the future using the competencies of curiosity and resilience?
The district performance plan spells out quantifiable metrics in each of these categories and contemplates ways to define learning in ways that honor learners' assets and humanity. It also provides historical data of our performance on more traditional metrics since 2016.
The plan also lays out our "how"--termed as "theories of action." Our theories of action are leveraged on educational research and are designed to be pressure points that, when attended to with precision, are likely to move student achievement toward our vision of world class learning. The theories of action are
High quality Tier 1 instruction and resources.
Leadership development with students and staff.
Partnerships with community and families to shape high expectations for all.
Investments in student and staff safety and well-being.
All stakeholders are invited to join the team in this exciting work! Interested parents, community members, businesses, and citizens can contact superintendent Adam Young at 775 289 4851 or at adam.young@wpcnvadmin.com. School visits and volunteerism are welcomed.
