message for this school year and the first is to ensure that we're continuing to strengthen our pre-to kefl 12 core instruction for all students and a culture and reflecting on the work and improvement of all services and why the core? because it promotes equity towards that success and it's a key lever for closing a gap. there are four questions we're always reflecting on as a school district. the first is what we expect our students to learn? number two, how do we know if they're learning? number three, how do we respond when students don't learn? and four, what will we do if students are already proficient and as we do this work and a theme or framework is make sure we're cultivating these relationships and engaging students and their families and that can only take place if those components are there, so launching into today's presentation like a good teacher we thought -- teachers we thought we would be clear about the objectives and celebrate the achievement results and out kms and best practices that emerge that are providing accelerated results for a sub sed of kids and review steps
