School Asks for Public Assistance With Strategic Plan Susie Hedalen, Townsend Schools Superintendent As part of the strategic planning process, the Townsend School District is asking for your assistance.
The District's Strategic Plan consists of 4 Goal areas. One of those areas revolves around "Quality Education," which focuses on scheduling models and instructional approaches. The District is asking for the community's help gathering information about these topics. To date, a significant quantity of information about the 4-day week has already been discussed; however, there is a lot more research to do around a variety of scheduling models as well as instructional approaches. As you research, keep in mind that to be the most beneficial for decision-making, the research you find should include measures and preferably be peer-reviewed (meaning reviewed by a team of education professionals before publication).
We ask you to research scheduling models and instructional approaches and then submit that research to a school email address. Please submit article links to "sp2023@townsend.k12.mt.us".
You will find all currently linked articles on the Townsend Schools website. To view the research repository, please go to the Townsend Schools website at https://www.townsend.k12.mt.us/, scroll down and click on "Information Gathering", and follow the link to the Google Doc.
There are currently 20 to 30 linked articles on the site containing a lot of research-based information. Check it out!
If you have any questions, please email the Strategic Planning facilitator at sscott@townsend.k12.mt.us. You may also contact another board member or administrator with questions or comments.
