The Path Forward Visioning Paper
The Oregon School District has a proud tradition of deliberate reflection on how we educate our students, opportunities we offer to learners of all ages and what a meaningful education looks, sounds and feels like.
In August 2015, more than 100 stakeholders were invited to take part in a Visioning Conference about the future of the Oregon School District given the context of our world and its profound impact on the education and preparation of our students. What became evident was a strong belief that education in our District should be grounded in and based upon a set of core values, and key to the success of our students is the development of meaningful relationships between all involved in the learning process.
The culmination of this collaborative effort is a District paper titled "The Path Forward." The paper outlines a set of five interrelated pillars, which form the foundation for a successful school district. These values, working in conjunction with each other, serve as our guideposts for the future.
