We have to ask ourselves how our schools can best prepare students for the world of the future. If our students are going to excel in the years to come, we will need to teach them to be critical thinkers, to be adaptable, and to value lifelong learning. The assumptions are at the heart of Beyond 2000 . The primary focus of the plan is student achievement. There must be a solid academic curriculum.
Students learn by applying information, knowledge, and concepts.
On-going evaluation of the instructional program is a necessity. Menu Goals Beyond 2000 includes five key goals. These goals provide a framework and direction for the project. They are appropriate for elementary, middle, and high schools. All of Janesville's public schools, and the School District as a whole, will monitor and evaluate progress in the six priority areas.
