Four Guiding Questions to create/use a powerful Vision statement:

To support the DoDEA Mission……
 * 1) What should our teaching look like?
 * 2) What should the curriculum look like?

Do we want to say "as responsible members" or should it be " to be come responsible members..?" ~ Doug M.

Here is an addtional idea below: We, the Bahrain School, provide our students with a safe and nurturing environment in which they are challenged using rigorous curriculum to their maximum potential as responsible members of an understanding multi-cultural society. Towards this end, the Bahrain School community strives to inspire, empower, and include all students through meaningful differentiated activities and experiences on a daily basis. Students are given reinforcement and support in order to gain the confidence and belief needed so they can achieve anything.

The Revised Vision was reviewed by faculty and shared with Parents at Open House. We received input that lets us know that more work exlaining what the vision means needs to be done. Carmen
