What is Accountability?
This accountability section offers common  sense answers to commonly asked questions about our efforts to provide the best possible education for students. You’ll learn about professional learning initiatives, student assessments and results, snapshots of the accomplishments and priorities of each school, as well as finances and budgets.
 
 In the Spring Lake Park School District, accountability is about aligning the daily work of our staff around continuously improving student learning, and then sharing progress with parents and community members.  It t is about using data, research, training, results, reporting, and two-way communication.

At the beginning of each school year, teachers face a roomful of new students with unique learning needs. The challenge and opportunity we

have is to personalize learning that will result in the success of each student.  We engage in ongoing improvement efforts which involve examining our practices, processes, and results, and then identifying student and professional learning needs at the district and school levels.
 
The site also represents our 2010-11 Annual Report on Curriculum, Instruction, and Student Performance. Content will be updated throughout the year, making it a valuable source of information and a continuous report to the community on the school district’s progress, accomplishments, future plans, and challenges.
 
Strategic Areas for Improvement
We have defined indicators of success within five strategic areas - our scorecards - that serve as district and school tools of accountability and continuous improvement. Initiatives and projects are identified within each area that will directly or indirectly improve student learning.
