I saw where you are interested in sharing your living systems framework with other researchers. I am using that framework in my work with educational and other human systems such as health care and business ethics. Could you email me privately ([email protected]) to discuss your work and applications of this framework? Thanks much!
The DVUSD Continuous Improvement Journey is one of alignment and integration. Beginning with the Strategic Plan and guided by the Baldrige Framework, the district and schools draft Organizational Profiles that highlight details such as student-centered processes, programs, and information regarding our skilled workforce. The Organizational Profile also hosts the mission and vision statements, as well as the core values that define the DVUSD community. To ensure that continuous improvement is at the forefront of all decisions, Deer Valley seeks out feedback from external organizations that can lead to action. In our quest for effective and efficient process improvements, in which students receive the optimal education, Deer Valley employs the AdvancED protocols to maintain district-wide accreditation.
Deer Valley's Strategic Plan is the framework to focus and align our work through 2018. Thus, the entire Deer Valley organization will be positioned to ensure we are fulfilling the mission and achieving the vision of graduating life-long learners to successfully compete, lead, and positively impact the world.
Throughout the 2016-2017 school year, DVUSD will be gathering input from all stakeholders in support of refining our core values and strategic plan. We will examine ways to refine, refocus, and recommit to our district’s key strategic objectives. Continuous improvement is a journey, not an event. Deer Valley supports all employees in the implementation of continuous improvement principles aligned to the Strategic Plan. These principles are embedded throughout the organization through a variety of supports, including quarterly feedback for improvement plans. These CI efforts have been included within our historical story, Our Journey, in which our core values and priorities are portrayed. Our Journey to Extraordinary.
The Baldridge framework and its various tools seem an excellent way to apply a high level systems framework to your project. From my perspective, and from my work with our ecologically based living systems framework built on research-validated principles and practices shown to improve learning and motivational outcomes for all learners in the system, what are the mechanisms for addressing all levels of learners in the system?
