ADF - CAPE ELIZABETH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT COMMITMENT TO LEARNING RESULTS

The School Board hereby adopts Maine's system of Learning Results, including the Guiding Principles, and the Maine Department of Education’s applicable rules. The Learning Results are intended to serve as a foundation for education reform, including the standard-based system of learning, and to provide assessment of student learning, accountability and equitable opportunities for all students to access the content standards. The Board recognizes that the legislative intent of the Learning Results is to provide children with schools that reflect high expectations and create conditions where these expectations can be met.

The Board understands that implementation of the Learning Results and the mandate to provide all students with equitable opportunities to meet the content standards have broad implications for the school department, including curriculum, budget, professional development, student assessment, professional evaluation, and graduation requirements. Therefore, the Board is committed to examining its policies and practices to ensure they are consistent with the intent and goals of the Learning Results system.

The Superintendent is responsible for implementing the system of Learning Results including any appropriate administrative procedures. The Board further directs the Superintendent to report to the Board annually on student achievement and progress toward implementing the Learning Results.
