Vision
The mission of Boulder Valley School District is to realize our Vision for the New Century Graduate:
To graduate students in the New Century who have
the knowledge, skills and personal characteristics
that will make this world a safer, more thoughtful
and more inclusive place in which to live.
All of our goals are intended to support this vision.
Goals
In November 2007, the Boulder Valley Board of Education approved three five-year goals for the district that relate to equity, achievement and climate. These goals were developed using the district’s Tools of Inquiry for Equitable Schools (TIES) process during multiple work sessions and board meetings during fall 2007.
These new goals are quite different from prior goals set by the district in that they are more streamlined and measurable. As defined by the TIES process, these goals are SMART goals, which stands for "Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely." In a nutshell, we aim to achieve academic excellence for all students, to produce equitable results that reduce persistent patterns of inequity, and to create a culturally proficient and welcoming school climate.
District Goals for 2007-2012
Achievement Goal – Increase measurable student achievement in specific content areas through curriculum and instruction that is rigorous and relevant.
Equity Goal – Narrow the achievement gap in all content areas as measured by CSAP results, ACT scores, district graduation rates, and curriculum-based assessments.
Climate Goal – Create and sustain a safe and positive learning environment that protects and respects the rights of all individuals as measured by specific results from the annual BVSD School Climate Survey.
