Rhonda Jindra and I have been asked to facilitate a group activity at the September SDA Business Meeting that focuses on values, mission, and vision. In order to prepare for September 17, we ask that you complete the following activities by Friday, September 11.
PRE-WORK—This will take 15 minutes of your time!
- Please read the following paragraph regarding core values to set the stage.
- Review the slides that reflect Nebraska-based examples of values, mission, and vision of several non-PK12 entities (for a broader context) plus two additional examples.
- Complete the Google form to submit your input, giving us a baseline for identifying SDA values.
The core values of an organization are those values we hold which form the foundation on which we perform our work and conduct ourselves. We have an entire universe of values, but some of them are so primary, so important to us that through out the changes in society, government, politics, and technology they are STILL the core values we will abide by. In an ever-changing world, core values are constant. Core values are not descriptions of the work we do or the strategies we employ to accomplish our mission. The values underlie our work, how we interact with each other, and which strategies we employ to fulfill our mission. The core values are the basic elements of how we go about our work. They are the practices we use (or should be using) every day in everything we do.
2. Nebraska-based Examples ◄Click to review 5 non-PK12 examples plus two bonus examples.
3. Considering the description in paragraph 1▲ and the examples in 2▲, what values do you feel best reflect the culture of SDA? Google form ◄Click to vote.
Please bring your copy of Data Analysis for Continuous School Improvement (3rd edition) by Victoria Bernhardt to the SDA business meeting. Also, consider the Nebraska examples presented that 'connect' with you in their presentation.
Thank you,
Rhonda and Jeff
