Strategic Plan: Beyond the Talk
SFUSD Strategic Plan
Beyond the Talk: Taking Action to Educate Every Child Now
On May 28, 2008, the San Francisco School Board voted to adopt a new five-year strategic plan, Beyond the Talk: Taking Action to Educate Every Child Now. As outlined in the plan, SFUSD is focused on the following goals:
- Access & Equity – Make social justice a reality
- Student Achievement – Engage high achieving and joyful learners
- Accountability – Keep our promises to students and families
Where We Are Now
Currently, the district is working to implement the programs and projects that will drive the change necessary to achieve these goals. Working across all areas and departments, the district continues to tackle challenges in order to provide all students with a quality education. As a part of this year’s effort, we are engaged in a process of reorganizing the projects and initiatives to better reflect the work that is happening around implementation of the strategic plan.
At the January 17, 2012 Board of Education meeting, Deputy Superintendent Richard Carranza presented current progress, specifically highlighting the reorganization of strategic priority projects. In addition, Deputy Superintendent Carranza shared examples of the impact we are observing in our classrooms; we are making the connection between our strategic work at the district and the experiences of students in our schools and classrooms.
