DISTRICT MISSION, VISION, VALUES, AND BELIEFS

District Mission
The Liberty Elementary School District through engaging and challeng-
ing learning environments will prepare all students for success in high
school and beyond. They will have the academic, social, creative, and
communication skills to achieve individual accomplishment, personal
leadership, and contribution to their community.

District Vision
Cultivating curious, confident, problem solvers prepared for tomorrow

District Values
The District values describe how the stakeholders will go about the
work of achieving the mission and vision. All stakeholders are strongly
committed to upholding these values.

Expectations Learning. The present and future needs of the students are at the center
of all actions and decisions. We are committed to meeting the
unique learning needs of all students. All students are capable of
achieving excellence in learning the essentials of formal schooling
and should have access to a common curriculum of learning stan-
dards which are defined system-wide. We are student advocates.

B. We believe in educating the whole child with a well-rounded


education.
Art, music, physical education, world languages, and computer
science content standards are important to each child’s develop-
ment. Children benefit from developing social emotional learning
skills to prepare them for future personal and career success.
Combined, the special area content areas not only contribute to
enhanced learning of core academic skills, they also foster brain
development, creativity, lifelong learning, career readiness, cultur-
al appreciation, and healthy living. The characteristics of a quality
learning environment include a caring, supportive atmosphere not
only for the academic success of all students, but also for their
well-being.

C. We believe in a relevant and meaningful learning environ-


ment based on evidence-based research.
Student learning objectives are directed by the District curricu-
lum and are creatively and flexibly facilitated to maximize stu-
dent engagement and motivation. Cross-disciplinary and real-life
application of learning are hallmarks of the learning environment.
Signature programs at individual schools provide choice learning
themes for enrichment and project-based learning experienc-
es. Staff learning objectives are aligned to current research, job
competencies, and District goals. Current research and documen-
tation of needs analysis guide decisions on design and delivery of
both student instruction and staff professional development.

D. We believe in shared decision making.


Stakeholders provide integral and valued perspectives. Students,
staff, parents, and other community members are partners in the
educational process. The capacity of the group is enhanced by di-
versity. We strive to interact as a community of learners, problem
solvers, and decision makers. Trust, mutual respect, and active
listening are essential for collaboration. Together, we can best
contribute to achieving the mission and vision.

E. We believe in continuous learning and ensuring the condi-


tions exist for optimal learning.
Students and staff have access to and contribute to an environ-
ment which fosters learning, growth, and the perpetual devel-
opment of competencies. Instructional facilitation is adapted to

students in a rigorous, standards-based curriculum that supports the
personalization of learning.

Selection of Curriculum Committees


For cycles of curriculum adoptions, in all subject areas, representa-
tives from each school and grade level will be recruited with a ratio of
2:1 mastery to developing level teachers. Selection of teachers will be
the responsibility of the Educational Services Department and princi-
pals to identify teachers who have previously participated in curriculum
development, have been successful in the identified grade levels, and
have demonstrated effective teaching and student achievement re-
sults. Additional teachers will be invited to participate in the curriculum
planning and alignment who have expressed a desire to continue their
professional development and provide a voice for teachers who have
less experience in the grade level.
INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES

Needs Assessment
Through data analysis, curriculum needs will be assessed and prioritized by the Educational Services
Department with consideration of budget, resource availability, time restraints, and readiness. The selec-
tion of instructional resources is an important part of the total educational program. The content and qual-
ity of those materials influence not only what students learn but how well they learn. Therefore, educators
must be as conscientious about selecting instructional resources as they are about developing curriculum.
The process of selecting instructional resources shall be systematic, objective, and thorough.

that all staff share a vision for effective classroom instruction. Expec-
tations for instructional delivery are outlined in the LESD Curriculum
Management Plan Vision of Effective Classroom Instruction, teacher
evaluation instrument, and District Governing Board policy.
Guiding Principles for the management of the Taught Curriculum ensure
the following:

• The design and facilitation of learning processes hold the greatest


promise for improving student achievement
• Pre-and-post assessments are critical components of the taught
curriculum to determine learning goals
• Teachers plan instruction within district-supported curriculum maps
and the teacher evaluation instrument elements and indicators.
• The majority of the instructional resources used to facilitate learn-
ing shall be primary adopted resources identified in the curriculum
maps.
• Supplemental instructional resources and programs such as soft-
ware, community resources, and other materials are used based
upon their alignment to the written curriculum and approval of the
Assistant Superintendent for Educational Services.
• Teachers are encouraged to use flexibility and creativity in deter-
mining the “how” of teaching (instruction), not the “what” of teaching
(curriculum expectations and core resources outlined in district
maps)
• Teachers differentiate their instruction to accelerate and extend
student learning. Differentiation provides access for all students to
high-quality core instruction through student engagement strategies
and learning processes.
• Self-contained teachers may arrange the order of subjects as they
see fit within the elementary school day; however, it is expected that
all teachers in a grade level will follow the same order/pacing for
each content area. The Educational Services Department in collab-
oration with the guidance of the building administrators, instructional
coaches, and teachers will determine appropriate changes to the
order/pacing.
• Professional learning is designed and implemented to support all
educators to teach the curriculum. Commitment of all district em-
ployees to the implementation of the curriculum, ensuring student
success through equitable access.

Learning Tasks
Teachers know how to teach the written curriculum effectively and plan
learning tasks that ensure high levels of learning for all students. These
rigorous learning tasks:
• Follow a sequenced learning progression
• Provide an authentic learning experience to build conceptual under-
standing of the content taught from an interdisciplinary perspective
• Cognitively engage students by requiring critical and analytical
thinking through activities such as conducting research, evaluating
different perspectives, drawing conclusions, synthesizing ideas,
forming opinions, and making real-world connections
• Embed language structures and vocabulary development
• Promote active student participation through collaborative and inte-
grated project-based/problem-based experiences and cooperative
learning opportunities
• Provide ample opportunities for meaningful student dialogue and
engagement in learning
• Identify and nurture the strengths students bring to school by ensur-
ing cultural responsiveness and personal relevance

Types of Assessments
The assessed curriculum encompasses multiple forms of assess-
ment: screening, diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments
as appropriate to the content area, grade level, and content unit. Mul-
tiple assessments are defined below from the Center on Response to
Intervention at American Institutes for Research.

Screening Assessment:
A gifted Universal screener is conducted with all kindergarten stu-
dents to identify students who may qualify for gifted services.

Diagnostic Assessment:
Diagnostic assessments examine what a student knows and can
do prior to a learning program being implemented. Diagnostic as-
sessments pinpoint students’ strengths and areas of growth.

Some assessments are used for both a screening assessment and
