UEN Long-Range Goals

At Risk Students
Develop a consistent definition of educationally "at risk" students. Conduct a study of resources needed to address the problem of underachieving students. The study is to include an analysis of the current Iowa funding formula to determine the degree to which the current formula adequately supports initiatives to address the problem of underachieving students.

Assessment of Student Learning
Promote the development of a process for assessing student learning that accurately and adequately measures 21st Century learning needs.

Evaluation of Instructional Staff
In collaboration with instructional staff, develop a process for the inclusion of student learning as one factor in the evaluation of instructional personnel.

Benchmarking
Determine a set of benchmarks for UEN districts based on a common set of indicators.
