00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:04,500
Last week the Board approved our innovative 
Promise2Purpose strategic plan.

2
00:00:04,510 --> 00:00:09,000


3
00:00:09,010 --> 00:00:15,400
It was a pleasure to present the work of 
70 devoted strategic planning team members 
to the Board of Trustees last Monday evening.

4
00:00:15,410 --> 00:00:29,500
This committed group of educators, parents 
and caregivers, business partners, and community 
members has been investing deeply in our 
shared vision over the last several months 
by thoughtfully creating a plan to make promise 
to purpose a reality for every student in 
Klein ISD.

5
00:00:29,510 --> 00:00:42,800
In fact, this team of outstanding folks reviewed 
over 1300 pieces of written feedback from 
our community and sat at the design table 
with current Klein ISD students to ensure 
they listened to the unique and diverse perspectives 
of our community.

6
00:00:42,810 --> 00:00:58,000
Throughout the strategic planning process 
we learned together in a variety of ways, 
reading Innovator’s Mindset, wandering through 
current Klein ISD campuses and classrooms, 
reviewing our guiding documents, and capitalizing 
on and honoring the various experiences each 
member brought to the team.

7
00:00:58,010 --> 00:01:14,500
After the team shared their final recommendations 
for targets and strategies connected to Pathways, 
Challenge, Equity, Leadership, and Continuous 
Improvement, there were common themes that 
emerged -- things like personalized learning, 
the importance of relationships, and the 
use of quality feedback to drive future success.

8
00:01:14,510 --> 00:01:24,100
This led us to put together our collective 
work into the three big priorities for our 
plan: Reimagine Learning, Cultivate Talent, 
and Build Community.

9
00:01:24,110 --> 00:01:31,500
Targets for reimagining learning include 
personalizing instruction, ensuring a quality 
curriculum, and exploring standards-based 
evaluation.

10
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:40,100
For building community, the team focused 
on building strong relationships throughout 
the system, engaging and equipping families 
and caregivers, and being culturally responsive.

11
00:01:40,110 --> 00:01:52,700
Finally, the strategies for cultivating talent 
include targeted professional learning, ensuring 
strong feedback loops and opportunities for 
personal reflection, and, with our work with 
the Holdsworth Center, developing a best-in-class 
leadership pipeline.

12
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:59,200
In the coming weeks, you’ll be hearing more 
details about these strategic priorities 
as we thoughtfully move forward with the 
plan.

13
00:01:59,210 --> 00:02:08,000
All along, our goal was to have a plan that 
fits on one page--something that our entire 
community can easily identify, explain, and 
share with others.

14
00:02:08,010 --> 00:02:16,100
And we wanted an image that captures not 
only the key areas of focus for our plan 
but also the connections with our shared 
vision and our guiding documents.

15
00:02:16,110 --> 00:02:19,980
So today, I’m proud to show you our system 
document for Klein ISD.

16
00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:28,100
At the heart of our system is our promise2purpose 
vision, our shared commitment to ensure that 
every student enters with a promise and exits 
with a purpose.

17
00:02:28,110 --> 00:02:33,900
Closest to the vision is our plan to make 
promise2purpose a reality, our big priorities 
and strategies.

18
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:41,100
You’ll note that a golden thread of innovation 
is what will continue to fuel and connect 
the specific action plans and three big priorities.

19
00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:48,000
The adults in our system, all promise2purpose 
investors, will bring relationships and resources 
to the system.

20
00:02:48,010 --> 00:02:55,100
And surrounding the entire system are our 
guiding documents, our Profile of a Learner, 
Profile of a Leader, and High-Quality Teaching.

21
00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:57,200
Wow! This is great work!

22
00:02:57,210 --> 00:02:59,700
A big thank you to the folks involved in 
it.

23
00:02:59,710 --> 00:03:02,600
They truly are promise2purpose investors.

24
00:03:02,610 --> 00:03:06,800

25
00:03:06,810 --> 00:03:08,700
That's all for now. See you next week!
