This week, we're highlighting Strategy 1 - Quality Instruction & Student Engagement from our USD 204 Strategic Plan! All six Q1 initiatives under Quality Instruction & Student Engagement are actively moving forward.
Highlights include:
✅ A comprehensive 2026-27 professional learning plan is in place, with building-led learning opportunities allowing staff to focus on specific needs.
✅The USD 204 Instructional Playbook has been developed through the collaboration of instructional coaches and the Office of Instruction. Coaches continue reviewing and calibrating instructional strategies monthly.
✅ Since September 14, building administrators and instructional coaches have conducted 285 classroom walkthroughs across the district to support instructional excellence.
✅ Counselors have expanded Individual Plans of Study by adding WorkKeys assessments and NCCER technical certifications.
✅ All six schools now have family engagement calendars, including Title I family events at the elementary schools.
✅ Students continue to be recognized for academics, attendance, and character through celebrations and recognition programs across the district.
Quality instruction and meaningful engagement remain at the heart of student success, and we're proud of the progress being made districtwide in Strategy 1.
