West Bloomfield School District

This document outlines the 'Portrait of a Graduate,' defining the essential skills and attributes students are expected to develop. It focuses on four key competencies: collaborator, communicator, contributor, and critical thinker. The plan aims to integrate these skills throughout the curriculum from kindergarten to 12th grade, preparing students to be valuable citizens, innovative thinkers, and effective leaders who can make significant impacts in their local and broader communities.

The Board of Education will convene to conduct a closed session dedicated to the review of attorney-client communication as permitted by the Open Meetings Act.

This document, titled 'Mid-Year Achievement,' outlines the mission, Year Two priority objectives, and specific goals for West Bloomfield learners. Key strategic areas include the WBSD Literacy Vision, focused on developing strong literacy knowledge and skills through meaningful, inclusive, and rigorous opportunities. Core values emphasize equitable education, diversity, and positive community experiences. The plan stresses high-quality Tier 1 instruction, visible proficiency scales, and differentiated instruction to improve student achievement and engagement. It establishes growth goals for students, targeting at least a 10% increase in those reaching their growth targets annually and striving for high growth and achievement nationally across various elementary schools.

The West Bloomfield School District aims to develop socially responsible citizens prepared to meet the challenges of an advancing global society.

The district is committed to enhancing learning environments through collaborative furniture and media spaces, fostering an interactive curriculum. This strategic approach is designed to empower students for success and educate them to be their best in and for the world.
