Shared Vision Building

Plan for creating a vision and mission statement for a school technology committee

• Meet as a committee
• Analyze available data including involved parties, current procedures and resources.
• Discuss committee concerns and individual visions
• Form a sub committee
• Create a survey to ascertain needs, classroom resources and ideas
• Survey all involved parties utilizing an online service such as Survey Monkey to collect, track, and sort data.
• Meet and look at data including survey results, inventory, resources (staff, time frame, physical space)
• Use this data to determine unifying ideas that can be blended into a succinct and realistic vision and mission statement.

Let's get started

My first leadership class assignment requires me to write my vision and a mission statement. What better way to start this blog.

So here it goes:

Fostering meaningful learning communities

I am committed to the development of enriching learning communities within classrooms and between classrooms. Shared knowledge building and awareness of the thoughts and values of other students across town and across the globe will be invaluable to students as they emerge into a global society. In order to succeed in this mission I will continue to guide students as they work together toward common learning goals. I will expand our 4th grade blogging community by adding classes from other districts in other states and countries. I will provide further staff development and teacher training in using technology to bring teachers and students together into peer learning communities that stretch beyond the walls of the classroom.
