Download - Edina Public Schools 2013-14 Annual Report
Aligning All Resources for All StudentsWe are proud to share with you this year’s annual report illustrating the progress we are making in achieving the vision established by our Next Generation of Edina Public School’s strategic plan. At the same time, we are also staying true to our district mission, which has remained constant for 25 years—ensuring all learners have the skills to thrive in a rapidly changing, culturally diverse, global society.
This report helps tell the story of how we are aligning the resources of time, talent, space and funds to this mission of learning. We have worked hard over the last year assessing how we use these resources to best meet the needs of current and future learners.
Through this work, we’ve realized that to truly transform the learning experience for all students, we must keep our minds open to new ways of thinking. Too often we view our schools from our own past experiences. The challenge is to rethink what we know about learning, be open to new possibilities, and creatively and collaboratively reimagine education so our learners are prepared for a future that has yet to be created. We are already doing this in pockets around the district, and our Next Gen strategic plan is helping us create more of these innovative learning experiences across the district, from birth through grade 12 and beyond.
You’ll notice that we’ve graphically designed this year’s Annual Report in a way that provides a snapshot of our work and accomplishments over the last year. To find more details and stories of our how we are meeting the needs of Next Generation Learners, I encourage you to visit our website at edinaschools.org/annualreport.
We recognize that much work lies ahead of us as we develop and transform the educational experience for all learners. Our future school district successes rely on the continued support and partnership of all stakeholders—students, families, staff, businesses, and community members. We thank all of you for your commitment to learning and helping us achieve our mission of ALL of us working together to help ALL learners. Respectfully,A
