Arizona Schools have made a plan to help the overall quality of their schools by 2013. It isn’t just through making sure that their students are the best they can be, though. Arizona Schools are ensuring that their faculty and staff are the best they can be as well and ready to provide your child with the education that he deserves. There are four very specific goals that Arizona Schools wish to accomplish in their push to ensure academic excellence across all of its districts and for all of its students.

The Four Goals of Arizona Schools
Goal One: Arizona Schools want to advance improvements to public education by creating leaders in their schools. They are calling on talented professionals the teaching field to lead their students to excellence. How are they doing this? Arizona Schools are making sure that all of their teachers can meet their performance guidelines and standards. These guidelines and standards have been rewritten for more clear and precise metrics making them more fair and reasonable to evaluate teachers by and more easily followed by teachers. They are also promoting all ideas that will enhance the educational community.

Goal Two: Arizona Schools are offering support to those schools that need to achieve extraordinary performance. They are providing this support by offering technical assistance for schools to improve their school environment. This ensures that all Arizona Schools receive the help they need in creating a successful learning environment for their students. It is target investing to ensure schools are not left at a distinct disadvantage from lack of proper funding or attention.

Goal Three: Arizona Schools want to be accountable financially and academically. They are assessing all students and making the reports public, monitoring the school as a whole, and making sure that all educators are meeting the standards set forth by the state. Through the effort to be more transparent Arizona schools are looking for a greater effort by its teachers and faculty to perform.

Goal Four: Customer service is the last goal of Arizona Schools because they understand that providing parents and the community with reliable information, a focused and successful effort is the pathway to get, in return, the support schools need from the community.

Overall, it is great that Arizona Schools are taking such a good initiative to creating better schools. Many school districts are relying solely on the achievement of their students to bring up their standing in the community rather than working on the actual problem. By focusing on the problems that the actual school system is having, rather than putting blame on the students, they are better able to provide your child with a quality education by rebuilding from the inside out. Support your local school by keeping in contact and offering your support. They are on their way to making sure that all of their goals are met, but extra parental involvement can always help because it shows them that the community is standing behind what they are doing.
