Strategic Plan: Excellence For All

Engagement Upcoming Meetings Past Meetings Engagement Protocol

Literally thousands of stakeholders, from within the district and throughout the community, helped shape our five-year strategic plan, Excellence for All. Our engagement plan, summaries of input, and opportunities to stay involved are listed in these pages.


Upcoming Meetings
    Back to Top
Staff, families and community members are invited to participate in the following engagement opportunities scheduled for fall 2009.

Curriculum Alignment Engagement Meetings
One of the key strategies of our strategic plan, Excellence for All, is to align curriculum across the district to provide consistently high standards in every classroom. The high school curriculum alignment projects will result in aligning high school Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies and World Languages core classes to college-ready standards, revising course offerings in academic subjects to better prepare students for college, careers and life and providing professional development for teachers to support their delivery of the aligned curricula. Learn more about Curriculum Alignment.


Please join Seattle Public Schools instructional leaders at one of our upcoming community meetings to learn more about the work of aligning curriculum. We’ll discuss our alignment work and provide more information about the upcoming instructional materials adoption for high school Language Arts courses to be followed by adoptions for World Languages and Social Studies for 4th and 8th grades. Interpretation Services will be available at all meetings. Download a copy of the curriculum alignment meeting flyer here.

  • An engagement protocol was prepared with input from many stakeholders. We received comments from the public and worked on the draft with several groups that represented key civic organizations and family-centered associations. The protocols were finalized in October.
  • Superintendent Maria L. Goodloe-Johnson made a presentation on the engagement protocols to the School Board on October 1, 2008.
