Foreword
The Community Strategic Plan (CSP) contains the strategic direction for the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) for the years 2006-2011. The plan is a road map for keeping DoDEA at the forefront in advancing the Department of Defense's agenda for education and as a leader in the Nation for improving student performance and achievement.
In April 2008, a committee composed of representatives from DoDEA Headquarters, Area Deputy Directors, and employee association officials met in Arlington, Virginia to review the 2006-2011 Community Strategic Plan. Their charge was to ensure congruency and alignment among goals, outcomes, measures, and milestones. The result of that committee's work was an alignment to the plan, called the 2008 CSP Alignment.
The 2008 Alignment to DoDEA's 2006-2011 Community Strategic Plan supplies direction for improving our continuous efforts to provide the highest quality education for all students and ensure their success inside and outside the classroom. The process used to develop this five-year plan, along with the vision, mission, guiding principles, and goals is contained in the following pages. This document clarifies the connection between the strategies, actions, and measures we will use to achieve our goals and objectives. The 2008 CSP Alignment is easier to read and understand, provides clear and specific objectives, and defines measures to better match objectives.
DoDEA plans, directs, coordinates, and manages the education programs for Department of Defense (DoD) dependents who would otherwise not have access to a high-quality public education. DoDEA consists of the Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) located overseas, and the Department of Defense Domestic Dependent Elementary and Secondary Schools (DDESS) located in the United States and its territories and possessions. DoDEA provides education to eligible DoD military and civilian dependents from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
