The Boston Pilot Schools Network Vision Statement
|
The Boston
Pilot Schools began in 1995 as a research and development arm of
the Boston Public Schools, to develop best practices and to be a
catalyst for change that could be transferred to the rest of the
system. (click here for a more detailed history)
The Boston Pilot Schools Network is a vehicle for advancing the
dialogue of learning, teaching, and assessment in the Pilot schools.
The Pilot schools focus on creating communities of learners, providing
rigorous and meaningful curriculum, and ensuring that all students
are successful. The Boston Pilot Schools Network engages in:
-
Leadership
development for directors, teachers, students, and parents with
a focus on creating democratic and shared decision making governance
models;
-
Shared
accountability, to assist schools in assessing their progress
and in developing models of authentic assessment for both students
and staff;
-
Political
advocacy, that includes documentation and publicity of the Pilot
schools' accomplishments, to ensure the support and resources
for the Pilot schools that is necessary for them to be successful'
-
Community
organizing, with the goal of broadening the constituency of
the Pilot schools and strengthening our voice and support.
