The major findings from this study revealed that:
There should be a united focus for the district that is communicated
regularly and accurately to the teachers with specific expectations from
the administration.
This united focus should include the creation of a lesson plan format with
the essential components for 21 st century learning, such as the 3 R’s.
There is a need for a more personalized professional development in the
form of Professional Learning Communities that integrate individual
teacher needs with the district focus.
To achieve 21 st century capability, there should be an instructional
emphasis on the 3 R’s, using technology as a resource to promote rigor
and relevance in the curriculum as reflected in Appendix C
