The Joint Board of Education and Department of Education Strategic Plan Review and Extension
The current BOE/DOE Strategic Plan was initially drafted in 2012. Since then there have been various changes from community context, new BOE policies in place, completion of the Race to the Top initiative with Common Core implementation largely complete, and new federal law introduced, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). On January 19, 2016, the Board of Education approved a review and extension of the strategic plan to guide the next few years. In the spirit and practice of an approach of continuous improvement, the review and extension retains the 2012 update’s goals and framework for improvement as a strong continuing foundation for educational improvement. This session will include a dialogue about student success and aspirations, and a discussion on how to improve and update the Strategic Plan to best support Hawaii’s students.
