“The School District of New Berlin is committed to developing a passion for lifelong learning. We do this by ensuring that every student sees the relevance in what they are learning to their personal, academic, social and career goals. Students who are engaged are more likely to pursue rigorous learning experiences that challenge their understanding and develop their unique talents in ways that would otherwise not be possible …….

PI.26 E4E In Relation to Current State Accountability and Funding
Guidance re: School Board Governance
● Identifies interdependencies between existing legislation, BOE policy, administrative practice and the district’s Education for Employment plan.
● Clarifies discretionary provisions that confirms each district’s philosophy, structure and level of commitment.
● Serves to institutionalize change across time and setting.
EXAMPLE BOE POLICY: SCHOOL DISTRICT OF NEW BERLIN POLICY 6154
Key Takeaway:The Redefining Ready framework can be used to provide credibility for your
E4E/ACP work. It does not have to be a “compliance for a mandate” or a “leap
of faith”. It supports a data driven process for continuous improvement that aligns to the shared objectives of
your key stakeholders.
