OVERVIEW
Tuscaloosa City Schools Strategic Plan is a three-year plan that focuses on four themes that evolved from our multiple SCAN processes where teachers, administrators, students, parents, board members, and stakeholders participated. The plan is aligned with the COGNIA Continuous Improvement Plan format that is required by the Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE). Each theme includes a priority statement, objective, critical initiative, intended outcome, key measure, activity, and required resources. Through these four themes, we will demonstrate that:
If we provide equitable opportunities and access to high-quality academics, extracurricular and cocurricular activities, then students will be productive, wellrounded citizens in a global society and students will have success and equity.
If we value and leverage school and community partnerships, then we will maximize our collective impact on our core mission and our stakeholder engagement will increase.
If students are provided a safe and supportive learning environment where social and emotional needs are met, then student learning will be enhanced.
If we optimize organizational effectiveness and efficiency, then we will amplify our impact on mission-critical work and retain our employees and improve the working environment.
Each department of Tuscaloosa City Schools was assigned to specific themes as it relates to their current working situation. The Teaching and Learning Department contributed to the Student Success and Equity & Stakeholder Engagement themes.
Additionally, the Learning Supports Department contributed to the Safe & Supportive Learning Environment theme. Lastly, the Human Resources & Operations Department contributed to the Organizational Effectiveness & Efficiency theme.
This plan is an example of a year and a half collective process where multiple opportunities to review with various stakeholders to ensure accuracy and effectiveness was provided. Once the plan is approved by our board of education, we will continue to evaluate and update our plan on a continuous basis.
