Moving forward, the Shoshone School District has a plan to improve the school. The plan is based on a large research project designed to indentify “characteristics of high-performing schools.” Conversely, the study also looked at “characteristics of underperforming schools.” Our objective is to change the “characteristics” our school has from those of underperforming schools, to those of high performing schools. During the last year, each month, the district selected one of the nine characteristics. During that month, the school board and staff received training on that characteristic. Beyond training, both the board and staff discussed how to implement that characteristic. Check out the Superintendent Blog for postings of brief synopsis of each of the characteristics. Each of the characteristics is listed below. If you ever wonder, what is the plan for our school? The plain is to continue to move towards a district that exhibits each of these characteristics. When we exhibit each of these characteristics, we will be “high performing” school!

High standards and expectations for all students
