Terminology Utilized on Action Plans

Each district action plan includes the following elements:

Strategic Focus Area: Improvement areas identified through strategic planning process.

CSIP Goal: Goal for improvement in Strategic Focus Area.

Strategy: Broad strategy for achieving CSIP Goal.

SMART Objective: A measureable indicator of progress (Specific, Measureable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely) toward the CSIP

Goal.

http://www.dese.mo.gov/qs/documents/MSIP-5-comprehensive-guide-3-13.pdf

AdvancED Standards: The AdvancEd Standards for Quality School Systems are comprehensive statements of quality practices

and conditions that research and best practice indicate are necessary for school districts to achieve quality student performance

and organizational effectiveness. By reaching higher levels of implementation of the standards, greater capacity to support

ever-increasing student performance and organizational effectiveness is developed. Each of the standards are described more

fully in the CSIP appendix and have been cross-referenced with objectives throughout the CSIP to maintain focus on each

standard over the next three years.

21st Century Challenges: The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has created a Framework for 21st Century Learning which

describes the knowledge, skills and expertise students must master to succeed in work and life. It presents a vision for 21st

century student outcomes (blending of content knowledge, specific skills, expertise and literacies) and the support systems that

are needed to produce these outcomes. The Comprehensive School Improvement Plan cross-references improvement

strategies to these outcomes and support systems which are identified in the CSIP as 21st Century Challenges. The Framework

for 21st Century Learning is described more fully in the appendix of this document.

Implementation Date: The date the action/activity will be implemented.

Completion Date: The date the action/activity will be completed.

Description of Action/Activity (Long & Short-Term): A succinct statement of an action/activity used to achieve the

Appendix C

Framework for 21st Century Learning

Core Subjects and 21st Century Themes

Mastery of core subjects and 21st century themes is essential to student success. Core subjects include English, reading or

language arts, world languages, arts, mathematics, economics, science, geography, history, government and civics.

In addition, schools must promote an understanding of academic content at much higher levels by weaving 21st century

interdisciplinary themes into core subjects:

• Global Awareness

• Financial, Economic, Business and Entrepreneurial Literacy

Page 53: Waynesville R-VI Comprehensive School Improvement Plan€¦ · August 2014 May 2015 12/9- Evidence at middle school level and planning to extend the process to high school has occurred

Pag

• Civic Literacy

• Health Literacy

• Environmental Literacy

Learning and Innovation Skills

Learning and innovation skills are what separate students who are prepared for increasingly complex life and work

environments in today’s world and those who are not. They include:

• Creativity and Innovation

• Critical Thinking and Problem Solving

• Communication and Collaboration

Information, Media and Technology Skills

Today, we live in a technology and media-driven environment, marked by access to an abundance of information, rapid changes

in technology tools and the ability to collaborate and make individual contributions on an unprecedented scale. Effective citizens

and workers must be able to exhibit a range of functional and critical thinking skills, such as:

• Information Literacy

• Media Literacy

• ICT (Information, Communications and Technology) Literacy

Life and Career Skills

Today’s life and work environments require far more than thinking skills and content knowledge. The ability to navigate the

complex life and work environments in the globally competitive information age requires students to pay rigorous attention to

developing adequate life and career skills, such as:

• Flexibility and Adaptability

• Initiative and Self-Direction

• Social and Cross-Cultural Skills

Page 54: Waynesville R-VI Comprehensive School Improvement Plan€¦ · August 2014 May 2015 12/9- Evidence at middle school level and planning to extend the process to high school has occurred

Pag

e53

• Productivity and Accountability

• Leadership and Responsibility

21st Century Support Systems

Developing a comprehensive framework for 21st century learning requires more than identifying specific skills, content

knowledge, expertise and literacies. An innovative support system must be created to help students master the multi-

dimensional abilities that will be required of them. The Partnership has identified five critical support systems to ensure student

mastery of 21st century skills:

• 21st Century Standards

• Assessments of 21st Century Skills

• 21st Century Curriculum and Instruction

• 21st Century Professional Development

• 21st Century Learning Environments
