In DoDEA, we believe the key to mission success and highest student achievement is continuous improvement. It’s a concept that is central to what we do and forces us to look at what we are doing; examine how we are doing it; evaluate the results; and refine what we do so the needs of all our students are met.
Another key to our mission’s success is the community – the community of our teachers and staff; parents; and other stakeholders working together to ensure students receive the best possible education and opportunities we can provide.
Parents are that all-important connection between home and school. By supporting and reinforcing your child’s learning at home, and in school, you contribute to our mission and to highest student achievement.
Improving student performance and achievement doesn’t happen by chance. It requires planning, action, and ongoing evaluation. DoDEA’s Community Strategic Plan (CSP) contains the direction for our school system. It is the road map for keeping us at the forefront in advancing the Department of Defense’s (DoD) agenda for education and leading the Nation for the improvement of student performance and achievement. It also is a tool to hold us accountable for the goals that we have developed in this plan.
Our new Parent’s Guide to the CSP outlines the role parents play in DoDEA’s Community Strategic Plan. As a partner in education, parents are critical components of DoDEA’s Community Strategic Plan (CSP) and we believe parents can specifically help us make great strides in achieving our goals.
