Theory of Action
A theory of action is a statement that outlines an
organization’s beliefs and assumptions about what will
lead to long-term success and change. The statement
articulates how an organization will move from its
current state to its desired future state.
WHRSD believes that if we…
-
Commit to developing and sustaining a culture of inclusivity
and belonging to meet the diverse needs of all
students;
-
Increase the District and school teams’ capacity to
collaborate, learn, and design sustainable systems that
positively transform learning in a fiscally responsible
manner.
-
Promote professional dialogue that allows people to explicitly
articulate, appreciate, and extend their understanding
of teaching and learning practices;
-
Expand the District’s focus on Social Emotional Learning as a
means of supporting the well-being of all individuals in
the school community;
-
Develop practices and culture that promote the recruitment,
development, and retention of a highly qualified,
diverse staff;
-
Enhance communication with member towns that stresses the
educational needs of Whitman-Hanson students and
promotes consistent, fiscally sustainable resource
allocation;
Then…
Each school will be able to provide all students with access
to high-quality, appropriate learning experiences as
well as the supports they need to succeed;
So that…
Every Whitman-Hanson student will be equipped with the skills
to choose their own path and contribute to an ever-changing
community in a healthy, vibrant way.
