Our Schools, Our Vision
Every student in Rochester has access to a great school — a school in which every educator has high academic expectations for every student, the power of parents is activated, and where every student feels supported to meet their college or career goals.
As I approach the midpoint in the Rochester Education Fellowship, I am excited to share what I have learned from our community so far. Over the past year I have met with hundreds of Rochesterians to listen and understand what we want and value in our schools.
In "Our Schools, Our Vision" I offer a synthesis of my findings in the form of a co-created, shared vision along with community-driven priorities and focus areas.
Students, families, and educators are united in their determination to accelerate the progress of education in Rochester to the point that every student in every school realizes their full educational potential. I learned that an emphasis on the following priorities is paramount for transformational change:
- Parent Power
- Great Schools
- Talent Pipelines
- Supportive Policy
Over the coming months, I will hold community conversations inviting stakeholders to affirm my findings and receive practical suggestions on how we can realize our vision. Your role in this process is instrumental to our progress.
