DEPARTMENT GOAL NOS. 1-4: All Missouri students will graduate college and career ready. All Missouri children will enter kindergarten prepared to be successful in school. Missouri will prepare, develop and support effective educators. The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will improve departmental efficiency and operational effectiveness.
SUMMARY: The Top 10 by 20 strategic plan aims for student achievement in Missouri to rank among the top 10 performing states by the year 2020. Progress measures for the Top 10 by 20 goals are reported on the Top 10 by 20 dashboard on the Department’s website. The plan is updated annually. The attached summary highlights key work the Department has implemented, to date, related to the plan’s goals, objectives and strategies during the 2016-17 school year. The full plan may be viewed here: https://dese.mo.gov/sites/default/files/2016-17_Top10by20Plan.pdf. To help inform whether the Department’s plan is using appropriate metrics, or measures, to monitor and report on educational progress in the state, the Department has hosted face-to-face regional meetings, conducted electronic surveys, studied statewide data, reviewed research and held internal meetings. The executive leadership team recently participated in its annual planning retreat. Determination of appropriate metrics included whether the metric would be meaningful (to both internal and external customers), measurable (how would the metric be assessed), and moveable. Discussion included the values and priorities that reinforce the Department’s four goals, strengthening access to quality opportunities for all children, and supporting their success in school and beyond. These values, priorities and goal-level metrics will be discussed with the State Board. PRESENTERS: Stacey Preis, Deputy Commissioner, Division of Learning Services; Roger Dorson, Deputy Commissioner, Division of Financial and Administrative Services; and Robin Coffman, Chief of Staff, will lead the presentation and discussion of this agenda item.
