ACCREDITATION AND SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT

Technical Writing Tips for Writing the Mission or
Vision
  • Visualize. Close your eyes and look at your own
    classroom or school. Do you know in your head
    what is there? Can you visualize interactions,
    the look of a room, and possible changes you
    might want to make in this environment? Practice
    visualization.

3
  • 2. Be specific. As you imagine your vision
    realize that other people cant read your mind.
    Write your vision statement on paper. Next write
    down all of your thoughts related to your vision.
    Check to make sure your thoughts are all included
    in this vision. Make sure the most crucial
    thoughts are central to your mission.

4
  • 3. Be descriptive. Remember that you have more
    than one sense. Consider your vision from all
    your senses. Present your thoughts in a logical
    fashion so that the reader can follow your
    vision. For example, dont talk about what
    students are doing and then jump to the
    principals office without a transition sentence.

5
  • 4. Be concise. Stick to material that is relevant
    and necessary for you to communicate your vision.
    Too long a vision will not be read or understood.
    How concisely and succinctly can you express this
    vision?

Steps in Writing A Mission Statement
  1. List the school's/corporations core
    competencies its unique strengths and
    weaknesses.
  2. Review how each stakeholder relates to each of
    the learning communitys strengths. Communicate
    with them if possible.
  3. Write a one-sentence description of each
    strength.
  4. Combine any that are essentially the same.

8
  • List the sentences in order of importance to the
    organization's vision.
  • Combine the top three to five sentences into a
    paragraph.
  • Ask your stakeholders if they would want to
    collaborate with an organization with that
    mission.
  • Ask your faculty and staff if they understand and
    support it and can act on it.

9
  • Ask your stakeholders if it makes sense to them.
  • Incorporate additional feedback from
    stakeholders.
  • When you have refined the paragraph into
    statements that clearly articulates the way the
    learning community wants to relate to those it
    affects, publish it to everyone.
  • Post it on the wall, e-mail it to everyone, etc.

Mission
  • We believe in a community of learners that
    supports the dignity and growth of all its
    members, including students, staff, and parents.
    In a community, members work together for the
    common good, display concern for others, and
    respect differences.

Mission
  • We believe in inquiry as the key educational
    enterprise, encompassing curiosity, love of
    learning, intellectual discipline, core knowledge
    and skills, and the search for meaning.
