We Can See Clearly Now… Vision and Mission Work with All Stakeholders

Shelley Boberschmidt • Cahn Fellow 2021

When you inherit the vision and mission of a school as a new leader, then endure a teachers strike and a Covid pandemic, how do you re-engage the community in re-imagining school? And, how do you continue this work through a leadership transition and in a new school setting with a challenging culture and past? Vision and mission statements provide a focal point that help to align everyone within the organization to work toward a common purpose and why. Hear about this ongoing process at these two Denver Public Schools.
