Middletown Foundational Frameworks
Overview
The Middletown Foundational Frameworks are at the core of our educational vision and priorities. This interconnected set of guidelines inform our work of preparing all MPS graduates as globally-minded, well-rounded individuals ready to thrive in the 21st century.
These Foundational Frameworks support our mission statement, as well as our core values. More on those here: https://www.middletownschools.org/page/about-us
Portrait of a Global Citizen (PGC)
At the heart of the Middletown Foundational Frameworks is the Portrait of a Global Citizen (PGC). This articulates the specific skills and dispositions that we strive for all MPS graduates to possess upon leaving our schools.
Portrait of a Global Citizen
Instructional Vision (IV)
Our Instructional Vision (IV) outlines our model for high-quality instruction and the key practices to put it into action. By aligning our schools and classrooms to this IV, we believe our students will attain the skills and attributes of the PGC.
Instructional Vision
Strategic Operating Plan (SOP)
Our Strategic Operating Plan (SOP) organizes, prioritizes, and streamlines the systems-level and district-wide work necessary for our educators to execute the IV. This allows our entire school community to focus our collective efforts towards the PGC.
Strategic Operating Plan
Evaluation Support Plan (ESP)
Our Educator Evaluation and Support Plan (ESP) has been designed to help teachers continuously improve their enactment of the IV.
Standards Based Grading (SBG)
We are in the early stages of transitioning to a Standards-Based Grading (SBG) system. This will allow us to better align instruction and feedback to the PGC, as well as clearly communicate each student's progress towards achieving the desired attributes.
