Vision 2020
Purpose Vision 2020 is a PreK – 12 strategic plan. Student learning, achievement and success are the overarching goals of the plan with a focus on data-driven decision making, academics, professional development, and instructional technology. In order to enrich the 2020 vision, involvement of multiple stakeholder groups including students, parents, staff, universities, businesses, community organizations and governmental agencies is key in the design and implementation of the plan.
In April of 2012, the Turnaround Plan – 100% In – 100% Out involved multiple stakeholders engaged in intensive committee work over several months. The Turnaround Plan – 100% In – 100% Out encompassed many entities and the work done by the Turnaround academic committee members is embraced in this document. Implementing various learning strategies including support systems and setting specific, measurable, attainable, reliable, and timely goals will help to facilitate student achievement. Vision 2020 also serves as an instrument for monitoring improvement efforts and allocating resources while ensuring that instructional initiatives are directly aligned to support high expectations and educational excellence for all students.
The Lafayette Parish School System will implement a student-centered, rigorous approach to college and career readiness with technology enhanced curriculum and instructional professional development focused on developing students’ global awareness, collaboration, and critical thinking skills through applied learning. As part of the ultimate vision and mission of Lafayette Parish School System, we desire for all our students to pursue post-secondary educational opportunities and be workforce prepared for high wage, high demand employment.

Vision 2020
Focus Area 1: Data-Driven Decision Making
Vision Lafayette Parish School System will utilize a comprehensive process to collect, verify, analyze, and distribute performance information to make decisions regarding curriculum, instruction, and assessments.
About this Focus When making informed instructional decisions, data is a driving force. Using trend data assists district and school personnel in making predictions regarding the future. Data is reviewed on a periodic basis regarding student performance from sources that teachers regularly collect from including, but not limited to, classroom assessments, observations, assignments, and norm-referenced progress monitoring tools. The Quarterly Curriculum Alignment Review allows individual schools to review their data during the school year to make informed decisions about curriculum and instruction. The interpretation and use of data to inform decisions and the ultimate effects of the decisions and impact on student achievement and other educational outcomes will be the measurement of instructional strategies. Student performance of norm-referenced data assists in the development of differentiated instruction. By 2020, the Accountability, Research, and Evaluation Department will expand its comprehensive process to collect, verify, analyze, and distribute performance information that will continuously evaluate student, teacher, school, and district academic results to ensure a 15 point increase in its District Performance Score.
Create and maintain an index of data files and reports available to district and school staff to guide academic decisions related to goal setting, program evaluation, and projected needs.
Fulfill district and school data needs by continuing and refining current processes in place, and by creating new processes on request and as needs are identified.
Review commercially available products to select and enter into an agreement to provide a “data dashboard” system for immediate district/school/classroom access to cross-reference performance data housed in all data systems in district (current and future).
Assist schools with collection and interpretation of norm-referenced data. Assist district and school staff in establishing growth targets and making predictions
regarding set targets. The following graphs tell a story of where we have been, where we are now, and where we want to be by 2020. Beginning with the end in mind, the current graduation rate is not what we aspire. Our goal of an 80% graduation rate is the focus for growth. Much of the work must be conducted in the early years. Children entering Kindergarten take the DIBELS-Next First Sound Fluency and Developmental Skills Checklist for Math Concepts. The trend data shows a need for improving birth-to-five education in all child care facilities.

Focus Area 2: Curriculum and Instruction
Vision
Lafayette Parish School System will focus on student performance and academic excellence by enhancing curriculum and instruction.
About this Focus The Lafayette Parish School System will implement curriculum, instruction, and assessments in early childhood, K-12 curriculum and instruction, college and career readiness, and academic supports that is student-centered, and rigorous. For the District Performance Score to improve, School Performance Scores must improve which translates to student performance and learning improvements as evidenced by performance on state assessments. Curriculum and learning experiences in Lafayette Parish School System provides students with opportunities to develop their learning, thinking, and life skills. Students’ lives are enriched on a daily basis through classroom instruction and educational opportunities. To facilitate this, our greatest assets are human resources and educational interventions. District level professional development focuses on curriculum, instruction, and assessment designed to support a continuous cycle of improvement in instructional practices. The staff of the Lafayette Parish School System participates in embedded professional development activities at their schools through Professional Learning Community collaborations and School-Based Leadership Team meetings. This empowers staff to deliver instruction that supports high expectations for student achievement. In moving our district forward, the Lafayette Parish School System will continue to seek opportunities to provide additional support for professional staff based on best practices. Educational interventions are a key attribute to improving student performance. Early Childhood Education, Response to Intervention, and Special Education provide individual students learning experiences to meets or exceed expectations. Student Services assists students with educational decisions regarding their school choices, career pathways, graduation and post-graduation plans. Alternative education opportunities allow students to find a program of study that meet their individual learning needs.

Focus Area 3: Professional Development
Vision Lafayette Parish School System will utilize meaningful professional development to provide an engaged and personalized learning environment to improve student learning.
About this Focus The Lafayette Parish School System provides resources and services in all schools to ensure success for all students. District level professional development is embedded in the instructional calendar while school-based professional development is embedded in a school’s master schedule and delivered through Professional Learning Communities meetings (PLC). PLCs meet both informally and formally with collaboration across grade levels and content areas. Staff members promote discussion about student learning and the conditions that support student learning. Data is often used to drive the discussions. Each school has a School Building Level Committee (SBLC) that ensures students receive the proper individual, social, emotional, physical, and academic attention. Professional development is often designed around the specific needs of students at a school site. While curriculum, instruction, and assessment preparation are essential, so are addressing behavioral and emotional concerns. Schools that are identified as Title 1 receive additional financial assistance to address the needs of their school. This includes professional and student assistance with Scientific Learning Fast ForWord and Reading Assistant site licenses; instructional leadership support from National SAMs Innovation Project; professional development for staff with The Leader In Me; and staff attendance at national institutes, conferences, and conventions. Lafayette Parish School System is also rich in providing support to teachers through school level administrators, instructional strategist, data analyst, and counselors. District level support includes social workers, pupil appraisal teams, nurses, instructional coaches, and specialists. The directors of elementary and middle/high schools support the schools’ administrative teams with instructional leadership and site-based management. To ensure that the instructional staff has the tools and skills necessary for students to perform at required levels of achievement, professional development is essential. Whether through attendance at conferences or book studies, the following nationally recognized, research-based authors have been utilized for professional development:
Leadership development from Luis Cruz, Heidi Hayes Jacobs, Kenneth Williams, and Anthony Muhammad.
Best grading practices from Douglas Reeves, Thomas Guskey, Michael Fullan, and Robert Marzano.

Teachers and professional staff are afforded several professional development opportunities to enhance their expertise, gain additional certifications and credentials to provide students with College and Career Readiness. This includes Work Force Development with Career Pathways and Jump Start; WorkKeys and ACT assessments; Advanced Placement instruction; and CLEP and AP testing. Staff members also participate in summer institutes in Career and Technical Education to advance their skills.

Focus Area 4: Technology
Vision Lafayette Parish School System will provide an infrastructure that supports authentic technological learning experiences for all students.
About this Focus Technology tools and resources are instrumental in preparing students for a highly competitive, communicative, and globally collaborative workforce. Therefore, the focus of the Lafayette Parish School System Technology Department is to provide the access, tools and resources, support, and training to over 34,000 end-users that will garner personalized learning experiences for all. This focus is concentrated on a comprehensive plan to achieve Future Ready Schools by addressing three key areas: infrastructure, integration, and digital responsibility.
Reliable high speed connectivity and equitable internet access devices are foundational to creating engaging personalized learning environments. Lafayette Parish School System’s infrastructure is partially funded through E-Rate. Much attention, in this federally funded program, is given to connectivity and is updated on a 5 year cycle. All 43 school sites have 10G fiber connectivity and a wireless access point in every classroom through E-Rate funding.
District funded infrastructure includes 90 central office servers housing business critical, security, and instructional software. Additionally, each school has at least 3 servers. All schools are equipped with Windows 7 devices at varying ratios from 7:1 to 3:1. Chromebooks and interactive devices are increasingly being infused into learning environments at every level. This variance in equity is largely due to school allocations of federal funding. Preparing students to graduate college and career ready requires a robust and flexible infrastructure with provisions of ubiquitous access to connected devices.
Teaching with technology allows teachers to become more collaborative and empowers them to become facilitators providing authentic learning experiences for students. Well-designed preparation and training programs are pertinent to effective integration of these powerful tools and global resources. As part of Vision 2020, the adoption of technology standards to establish best practices is the primary objective to technology integrations with meaningful and engaging

Vision 2020
instruction. A properly trained and empowered teaching force is imperative to realize the full benefit and power of integrating technology in our classrooms.
To render safe and productive use of technology in schools, responsible use and digital safety are key. These agreements are the cornerstone for thriving connected schools. Per School Board policy, school personnel are expected to follow the rules governing responsible use and online safety and parents to acknowledge that their child agrees to the basic care and responsibilities. It is the responsibility of the District to safeguard against all content that interferes with productivity and learning. In the comprehensive technology plan, Vision 2020, Transformational Change through Technology, a digital safety curriculum will be implemented and required prior to assignment of logon credentials.
There is not a more opportune time to integrate technology in the schools than now. Technology is the tool we choose to lower barriers to create more equitable access to learning experiences for all. By 2020, the goal of Lafayette Parish Schools System is to provide an authentic and personalized learning experience anytime, anywhere for all students.
By 2020, all students, teachers, and staff will have access to a technology network that supports anytime, anywhere learning.
Build network architectures with capacity for evolving infrastructures for learning. Ensure adequate bandwidth and wireless connectivity in and out of school. Ensure every educator and student has an appropriate connected device with academic
tools and resources for global learning activities. By 2020, every classroom environment will offer personalized, engaging, and empowering learning experiences that foster collaborative problem solvers and innovative thinkers.
Adopt standards for digital engagement. Employ tools, resources, and applications that cater to personalized and differentiated
instruction and community engagement.
Provide technology learning experiences to increase digital literacy and best communication and instructional practices.
Equip every classroom with hardware that permits global real-time collaboration opportunities locally and abroad.
