vocational education program can no longer mean that a student does not attain
proficiency in the core subjects and a Year 2020 curriculum.
Year 2020 Goals
At the end of the day, our job is to prepare students for college or for a Year 2020workplace. A college- and career-ready student is what our parents want; it is also whatour community wants. For the sake of our children, our goal is to have the highestcollege- and career-ready percentage of graduates of any large urban district in the nation.
By the Year 2020, Dallas ISD will have the highest
college- and career-ready percentage of graduates
of any large urban district in the nation.

In particular, by September 2020, we expect:
90% of our students to graduate on time 60% of our students attain a 21 or higher composite score on the ACT exam or
SAT of 1110 on Reading/Math
80% of our students tobe proficient on the Year 2020 workplace readinessassessments

90% of our students to enter college, the military, or a career-ready job straightfrom high school
What it will take
Incremental change isnt going to get us where we need to go. Weve got to be much
more ambitious. Weve got to be disruptive. You cant keep doing the same stuff and
expect different results. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, November 2010
We will not reach our goal if we continue to conduct business as usual. A transformationis needed, and time is against us. We need to do things differently. We need to challengeourselves, our students, our parents, and our community.
Most of all we have to worktogether, and we have to workin reinforcing ways. We haveto commit to a common
vision, common goals, and common beliefs. We will need Board members, Core Teammembers, and building level administrators who are willing to lead and make the toughdecisions few others are prepared to make. We will need to place student needs aboveadult issues. And we will need to recruit, develop, and retain the best teachers andsupport staff in the nation.
In short, it will take leaders and heroes at all levels. Nothing short of that will do.
How do we get there?
While we need a clear vision and strong direction, the first thing we need to do isbelievebelieve that our students can achieve at high levels and believe that we can reach ourdestination. Great organizations work on philosophy first. We will too. Dallas ISDs
1These assessments will be designed by the business and non-profit communities and will include critical thinking,communications, teamwork, information literacy, technology skills, and work ethic
In short, it will take leaders and heroes at all
levels. Nothing short of that will do.

Core Beliefs will undergird its actions and keep us focused on students. When the chipsare down, our Core Beliefs will keep us strong and keep us united.
We will tie our actions and behaviors to our Core Beliefs, for if beliefs are not practiced,they will not become habit. If they are not manifested in observable behavior, they will
remain words on a page. The following are our proposed Core Beliefs:2
While an organization should continually work on its Core Beliefs, those beliefs willmean very little without a clear direction to our destination. Dallas ISDs new directionwill be Course 267, mark 5.
2 The Superintendent will get input from the Board, key administrators, and teacher leaders on the Core Beliefs.

The DirectionCourse 267, mark 5
The metaphor connotes specificity even in the face of some unknownschallenges andopportunities. We are going on a journey, not an exploration.
Educators have known how to improve schools and reach rigorous academic goals forquite some time. The research is clear. Our direction will be founded on that researchand on the experiences of high performing school systems.
In general, for the next three years, our efforts will be focused on:
Effective teachers. We will reach our destination by placing an effectiveteacher in front of every child.
Effective principals. We will reach our destination if we make principals thekey to reform.
Professional and high-functioningcentral office. We will reach ourdestination if the central office staff isone of the most efficient and competentin the nation.
Leadership density. We will reach ourdestination if we expand leadershipdensity.
Engaging parents and thecommunity. We will reach ourdestination if our parents and communitypartners become engaged in graduatingcollege- and career-ready students and if the various groups work in reinforcingways.
Effective teachers
Our path to our destination includes placing an effective teacher in front of every child.We have to focus on improving the quality of instruction and raising studentachievement. Mike Schmokers Results Now on the importance of instruction (and how

poorly it is monitored) preceded more recent research noting the primacy of effectiveinstruction.3 The ultimate goal is to place an effective teacher in front of every child.While teachers in DISD are working hard and are committed to children, a quick reviewof instruction and discussions with instructional leaders in Dallas reveal that the qualityof instruction is inconsistent and that good instruction is not pervasive in many schools.
As curriculum alignment is the number one factor in raising student achievement(Marzano, 2005), we will ensure that teachers know what students are supposed to knowand be able to do, that the lesson activities are directly tied to those standards andobjectives, and that the student is able to demonstrate that he has learned what he issupposed to have learned. Aligning the curriculum is particularly important becauseTexas has new (STAAR) standards and objectives.
Effective principals
Our direction is also one in which we develop the strongest principal corps in the nation.I know of no large-scale education transformation that hastaken place without the development of principals intoeffective instructional leaders. Principals are key toreform.
Our principals will receive enormous support andprofessional development. The entire system will begeared to supporting principals and helping them improvethe quality of instruction and raise student achievement.
Attachment B provides a visual representation of how oursystem will be focused on support and results. (An excerptfrom that representation is to the right.)
The pressure of change and transformationwill be greatest on the principals, and theyneed to know that up front. While we willprovide the best support and professionaldevelopment any principal in the Statecould hope to receive, they will have only
one year to demonstrate that they have thecapacity and what it takes to lead changeand to improve the quality of instruction.
The entire central office system will be designed to support schools as teachers andprincipals try to accomplish three main goals:

1) Improve the quality of instruction2) Raise student achievement3) Create a positive school culture and climate
Engaging parents and the community
While most people would agree that it takes a village to raise a child, very fewcommunities are successful at collaborating strategically to significantly improveacademic outcomes for most of the students. We will be much more purposeful inhelping community supporters work in reinforcing ways.
Dallas is at a unique point in its history with a great number of legislators, foundations,non-profits, and other stakeholders expressing a commitment to help the District move
forward and expecting us to do what it takes to improve. We cannot squander thisopportunity.
At the same time, we cannot have 100 different partners spraying reform initiatives onour schools. That would diffuse the efforts and take us off our direction. Thus, we willhelp channel the support and ensure the major educational initiatives work in reinforcingways.
Operating principles
A struggling organization will work more effectively with clear vision and cleardirection. But that will not be enough. A struggling organization will not be able tomove quickly toward the destination unless it attends to and follows some key operatingprinciples. The best urban school district in the nation will:
Reinforce Core Beliefs. An organization not only needs to identify its CoreBeliefs, but it must coach staff members on how those beliefs manifest themselvesin the workplace.
Expand leadership density. Leadership matters; it is the glue that holds thewhole system together and ensures mission accomplishment. An effectiveorganization works to expand leadership at all levels. It ensures that it has strongbench strength.
Raise the level of accountability. Some level of accountability is necessary tomaximize performance. We must build an organization that will seek self-

accountability. Additionally, an effective organization holds people anddepartments more accountable for results than the accomplishment of processes.
Work toward defined autonomy. People work best when they have somecontrol over their work environment. Strong organizations establish clear
expectations and parameters and then allow individuals or groups of individuals tofigure out how to meet those expectations. Of course, until leadership capacity isdeveloped, the organization may have to have less autonomy and more directives.
Work systemically. Effective organizations ensure various departments do notwork in silos. They attend to system connections, focus on leverage points, andensure alignment throughout the organization.
Build an adaptive organization. The educational landscape and Year 2020workplace is changing quickly. Organizations need to continually learn and be
adaptive. They will have to develop a problem-solving culture and pushdecisionmaking to the level of implementation.
Develop channels for sense-making. An organization undergoing tremendouschange needs to have clear lines of communication and have strong processes fordisseminating accurate information and for helping people at all levels make senseof decisions and information.

2012-2013 Key Actions
1.Ensure staff members understand the direction of the District and the CoreBeliefs
It is harder to change beliefs than it is to change how one operates. However, if theDistrict is to reach its destination, belief in that destination and adherence to the CoreBeliefs will be paramount. Too many districts leave this to chance; we will bepurposeful about getting people on the same page and to act upon the Core Beliefs.
Some actions associated with this Key Action are:
Create an easy-to-understand brochure on the vision and direction of the DistrictDestination 2020
Convene several different focus groupsteachers, principals, central office staff,parentsto receive input on the proposed Core Beliefs
Conduct Core Belief exercises at each principal and assistant principal meeting Ensure principals conduct Core Belief exercises with their staffs
Strengthen the internal communications system and disseminate information aboutDestination 2020 and the Core Beliefs
Strengthen the external communications system and disseminate informationabout Destination 2020 and the Core Beliefs
Assess understanding of and adherence to the Core Beliefs at the mid-year reviewand spring systems review
Include philosophy as part of the climate survey, principals evaluation, andreviews
2.Improve the quality of instructionIf instruction is the main thing, then we must focus our efforts in improving thequality of instruction and the teachers ability to teach with high levels of engagementand rigor. The system has to be designed to help teachers become experts at theircraft. Improving the quality of instruction will become the main metric for allprincipals and all of the other leaders in the School Leadership chain.
Some actions associated with this Key Action are:
Develop a spot observation form Begin mandatory classroom observations
Open classroom doors when we teach

Ten observations for every teacher, who is in his first three years; six for allothers
Align teacher performance instrument with key practices Lesson objectives, demonstrations of learning, effective lesson planning,
curriculum alignment, multiple response strategies
Train teachers in good, first instruction Train teachers in key practices of effective teaching
3. Develop principals into effective instructional leadersPrincipals are the key to reform (see Attachment B). Without strong instructionalleaders we will not be able to develop teachers, improve instruction, or evaluateteachers effectively. As the capacity of instructional leadership throughout theDistrict is low, we have to take steps to build capacity quickly.
Some actions associated with this Key Action are:
Conduct a School Leaders Academy Train 60 school leaders for an entire year
Develop a principal evaluation system Determine achievement metrics and progress monitoring metrics Evaluate principals and assistant principals
Implement principal coaching model Conduct mid-year reviews and system reviews Train principals and assistant principals
Conducting instructional feedback Curriculum alignment Lesson planning, lesson objectives, demonstrations of learning, multiple
response strategies Evaluating teachers Conducting performance interviews and hiring teachers Systems thinking and action planning Leadership Change theory
4. Tie teacher and principal evaluations to student achievement dataIn the end of the day, our job is to raise student academic proficiency. One cannot bea great teacher or a great principal unless he can also raise student achievement. Wewill begin to tie teacher and principal evaluations to student achievement data.

Destination 2020, The Dallas ISD Plan, revised 4 May 2012 Page 21
Some actions associated with this Key Action are:
Coordinate and align current efforts with the Destination 2020 plan Identify principles and parameters of effective evaluation systems Formulate a draft teacher evaluation system
Identify draft achievement metrics Identify performance metrics Conduct initial (dry run) of teacher evaluations, using the new system
no harm, no foul Partial evaluation with regard to achievement
Develop a data platform that can tie achievement data to individual teachers givenseveral key parameters
See Key Action number 3 for actions to develop principal evaluations tied tostudent achievement data
5. Create a professional and high-functioning central office teamOnly a strong central office team will be able to guide a system as large as DallasISD. This team must revamp the current structure into one focused on instruction andsupport of schools. It must design the processes necessary to ensure we are workingin reinforcing ways and working effectively.
Some actions associated with this Key Action are:
Hire a first-rate cabinet Create a rubric to assess the professional behavior and effectiveness of each major
Central Office department
Train central office instructional leaders Organizational effectiveness, systems thinking, leadership, instruction
6.Restructure the Department of School LeadershipThe Department of School Leadership will be responsible for three major objectives:improving the quality of instruction, raising student achievement, and helping theschools maintain a positive school climate. In order to support and monitoreffectively, the Department must be reorganized to enable leaders to coach principalseffectively and to provide professional development and resources in a more focusedway.

Some actions associated with this Key Action are:
Restructure the School Leadership Department into five academically congruentdivisions and vertical feeders
Consolidate professional development activities and align professionaldevelopment with this plan
See Attachment E
7. Create a career-ready certificateSome students drop out of high school because the diploma does not carry much valuefor them. We have to convince students that we will get them either college ready
or career ready. That means that they will be able to enter a regular four-yearcollege without remediation or enter the Year 2020 workplace with the skills and
knowledge necessary to acquire and hold a career-ready job. We will takeadvantage of the enormous community support that DISD has at the moment.
Some actions associated with this Key Action are:
Work with key community groups to develop career-ready metrics Apply those metrics for the students in the Class of 2013 Identify and acquire, in collaboration with the business community, 1000 career-
ready positions for the graduates of the Class of 2013
Assign career-ready positions to academic divisions; give priority to StrategicFeeder Groups (see below)
8. Create the Strategic Feeder GroupThere is tremendous interest from various community partners and individuals to helpmove DISD forward. However, the various efforts are diffuse and not aligned. If wewere to focus and channel the various efforts, we would have plenty of resources toapply to the transformation of a couple of feeder groups. In this way, we would workwith those interested in both economic and educational renewal. We would, in effect,
establish a beachhead from which to expand.
Some actions associated with this Key Action are:
Work with the community to identify two Strategic Feeder Groups by 1 Sep 2012 Identify additional resource needs and specific community support by 1 Nov 2012 Work with the community to assign projects and tasks by 1 Feb 2013
