Education guru to kick off HCPS strategic planning process
Table of Contents
Henrico County Public Schools is seeking input from Henrico citizens in the creation of a new strategic plan for 2018-25, and school system officials will kick off the process with a talk by education guru David Stephen Nov. 8 at Hungary Creek Middle School.
Stephen is the co-founder of Boston-based New Vista Designs for Learning. His cutting-edge work in curricula, programming and school design is informed by the question: How can the design of school programs and buildings best support the changing needs of 21st century students and teachers?
His 45-minute speech will begin at 6:30 p.m. and is designed to align with one of Henrico Schools’ four cornerstones (“Academic Progress”). It will be followed by a 15-minute question-and-answer period.
The public is invited to attend.
Hungary Creek Middle School is located at 4909 Francistown Road in Glen Allen.
Members of the public can provide thoughts about the new strategic plan by completing a short online survey or applying for a steering committee of 15-20 people. Visit http://henricoschools.us, look under “Hot Topics” and click on “Get involved in the Henrico Schools 2018-25 Strategic Plan.”
The school system will feature another speaker Nov. 29 as part of the planning process when Adolph Brown III discusses HCPS cornerstones “Closing Gaps” and “Relationships.” The location for that talk has not been determined. The speech will be made possible by funding from the Henrico Education Foundation.
Brown is a nationally recognized speaker and teacher who uses humor and his varied life experiences to connect audiences to evidence-based material. He was the first member of his family to graduate from high school, and later earned a master’s from the College of William and Mary and doctorate from the Virginia Consortium for Professional Psychology.
