GOAL 4: CENTRAL OFFICE AND SUPPORT SERVICE ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES
Allocate central office and support service resources at each of our two campuses to better support faculty in the
areas of technology and curriculum development.
Rationale
Vision Statement - One School; Two Campuses: Create programs, assessments and experiences that serve to unite the school and to celebrate
the distinctiveness of each campus community.
The continued growth of the school and the geographic distance between the two campuses results in a challenge to provide educational programs
services to both campuses from the central office. To maximize organization for student learning, more campus-specific support is needed in the
areas technology and curriculum development.
The school has taken immediate steps to address this problem by reallocating time commitments from the Educational Programs Office so that the
deputy superintendent and a curriculum consultant will have increased time at the Pudong Campus. Additionally, the school has added two
technology integrationist positions, one to directly support teachers in the classrooms.
On a larger scale the board of directors engaging in the superintendent search will provide further direction
