PILLAR 1 PILLAR 2 PILLAR 3
We are a leader in student-
centered learning in the
region. We will not retreat to
one-size-fits-all academics.

We will continue to educate
ourselves and our communi-
ty about serving the whole
child, being mindful of trauma

and the ravages of substance

abuse. We will not ignore--nor
excuse--the impact of what

happens outside of school.

We will support all learners.

We will not norm our expec-
tations to the population we

serve. Those who struggle or
excel will be met, each in her

own way.

COMMITMENT TO STUDENTS

Faculty and staff recognize the individuality of
our students and will continue to provide learn-
ing opportunities that are engaging, rigorous,
and based on personal need.

The school-as-factory model will be abandoned.
Learning will not be governed by bells, class
periods, and top-down instruction. Instruction-
al leadership in Biddeford will move toward the
facilitation of learning at all levels.

Teachers will continue to utilize the power of
formative assessments to modify instruction to
best meet the needs of our students.

All faculty and staff, ranging from instructional
personnel to bus drivers to athletics coaches to
food service workers, will better understand
how chronic stress and adverse childhood expe-
riences inform student behavior.

District leadership will allocate resources for
additional staff to support teachers and students
who work to better understand and mitigate the
impact of trauma day in, day out.

Instructional personnel will work together
to refine and expand a curriculum of social-
emotional learning.

All faculty and staff will redouble efforts to
engage the families of “new Mainers,” and sup-
port the programs and staff required to educate
those for whom English is a second language.

We will begin a three-year cycle of aligning
and reinforcing our efforts around inter-
vention. Students who struggle will be met
earlier, with greater intentionality, and will
realize better outcomes. Students who excel will
engage in rigorous learning opportunities.

Everyone is a teacher of literacy. Professional
support for parents, faculty and staff will be
paired with refinements to curricula, schedule,
outreach, and summer programs to support
increased student literacy.

As Biddeford becomes younger, more
diverse, and continues an economic
and cultural renaissance, our schools
must also change. We are a caring
faculty and staff who want our stu-
dents to be healthy, balanced, and
equipped to compete in post-second-
ary pursuits. We will improve academ-
ic and social-emotional outcomes with
a laserlike focus on three foundational
pillars in the next five years.
