  • If your goals for 2030 are bigger than what you have achieved so far, then what must you do differently going forward?

You will now move the Objectives (previously Priorities)  you want to “Continue” to the appropriate Focus Area 

  • Use your 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, the APS 2025-2030 Strategic Plan (slide 7) and your school KPI sheet to help categorize your objectives. Please note: 
    • Fostering Academic Excellence for All is likely aligned to “We Are Strengthening Our Instructional Core” or “We Are Sparking Student Curiosity”
    • Building a Culture of Student Support is likely aligned to “We Are Caring For Every Child”
    • Equipping & Empowering Leaders & Staff is likely aligned to “Our Strength is Our Team”
    • Creating a System of School Support is likely aligned to “Our Responsibility is Shared” or “Our School is Efficient & Effective”

  • After you have aligned your Objectives to the appropriate Focus Area, identify any new Objectives the school must start to address the goals in your plan

  • You should have 1-2 Objectives for each Focus Area.

  • Use the APS 2025-2030 Strategic Plan (slide 7) and your school KPI sheet for ideas if you need to identify new Objectives. 

  • Focus on the “Getting Back to Basics” Focus Areas first (Strengthening Our Instructional Core, Caring For Every Child, and Sparking Student Curiosity)

  • Make sure you have something in the “Community of Believers” Focus Areas that support your core work (Strength is Our Team, Responsibility is Shared, System is Effective & Efficient)
