ALer Lhe conclusion o anoLher school year,
we wanLed Lo Lake a momenL Lo Lhank you -
or your hard work Lhis year and or every-
Lhin you do Lo creaLe a brihLer uLure or
our sLudenLs.
Some o Lhe besL Leachers in Lhe counLry work
rihL here in Ninneapolis. We see iL rsLhand
whenever we visiL our schools. WaLchin a
reaL Leacher aL work is always a powerul re-
minder LhaL noLhin maLLers more Lhan whaL
happens in our classrooms. ln acL, decades
o research and our experiences have shown
LhaL reaL Leachin has a dramaLic impacL on
sLudenLs LhaL lasLs lon inLo adulLhood.
PuL simply, you are Lhe oundaLion o our
success. When you succeed, our sLudenLs suc-
ceed. l we wanL all our sLudenLs Lo leave NPS
on Lrack or collee or a successul career, we
need Lo ocus on a sinle oal: reaL learnin
in every classroom, or every sLudenL, every
day. NPS and NF1 are commiLLed Lo makin
LhaL a Lop prioriLy nexL year and in Lhe years
Lo come.
WhaL does a ocus on reaL Leachin and
learnin mean? FirsL and oremosL, iL means
doin everyLhin we can Lo help you do your
besL work. We need Lo seL clear, hih expecLa-
Lions or all o us, buL we also need Lo develop
Lhe eedback and supporL sLrucLures Lo meeL
Lhese expecLaLions. 1his can only happen in
an environmenL o muLual LrusL and respecL,
so we will conLinue workin LoeLher Lo build
LhaL kind o culLure in every school.

Focusin on reaL Leachin and learnin also
means removin any barriers LhaL keep you
rom ocusin on your Lop prioriLy: help-
in your sLudenLs learn. NPS and NF1 will
conLinue workin LoeLher Lo scale back or
eliminaLe iniLiaLives LhaL are noL advancin
sLudenL achievemenL, so LhaL you can spend
all o your Lime on whaL maLLers mosL.
We undersLand LhaL more work needs Lo
be done Lo improve and sLreamline disLricL-
wide processes and sysLems. Our oal is Lo
sinicanLly improve Lhe school environmenL
Lo ensure LhaL NPS is a reaL place Lo learn
and work. We undersLand LhaL sysLem e-
ecLiveness is inLeral Lo sLudenL success and
you have our commiLmenL Lo keepin Lhis as

sible or improvin ouLcomes or our sLudenLs
and LoeLher we need Lo acknowlede and
acL on our sysLem-wide challenes and op-
porLuniLies.
GreaL learnin also depends on reaL school
leadership. We need Lo provide Lrainin and
supporL LhaL deepens Lhe qualiLy o insLruc-
Lional leadership across Lhe school disLricL.
We have already made some sLrides in Lhese
areas Lhrouh our work Lo build a beLLer
Leacher evaluaLion sysLem. While we are
noL done desinin Lhe sysLem, Lhis year
many Leachers, principals and leaders rom
across NPS and NF1 worked LoeLher Lo
desin a sysLem LhaL works Loward conLinu-
ous improvemenL o Leachin, learnin and

improved Lhis sysLem LhrouhouL Lhe year
based on eedback rom over 900 Leachers
who parLicipaLed in an observaLion Lhis year,
as well as rom principals. We are now ready
Lo inLroduce Lhe sysLem disLricL-wide Lhis all.
1his new evaluaLion sysLem is a crucial sLep
in NPS' commiLmenL Lo help you reach your
