Middletown School District

The Middletown Public Schools journey to achieving its goals requires a learning organization which adopts a collective set of "practice beliefs" focused on continuous growth and improvement. The "practice beliefs" embedded in the strategic operating plan include: -Ensuring all three and four-year old students are ready for kindergarten; -Closing the preparation (Pre-K) and achievement (K-12) gaps that are persistent in our learning community; -Personalizing learning experiences for ALL students, despite academic, dexterity, or level; -Leadership and teacher development using an executive coaching method; -Internal and external learning experiences for leaders, teachers, and students through the power of networking; -Steadfast focus on equity and social/emotional learning; -Creating relevant family/community partnerships; and, -Innovation to meet economic and social trends. Each "belief point" is underscored with the broader notion that we, as a learning organization, will focus on equity, innovation, and continuous improvement. Our work within the strategic operating plan is clear - high expectations for all students and staff of Middletown Public Schools.
