Instructional Vision

Teachers and leaders at EPS believe that preparing students to be college & career ready requires strategic learning experiences relative to content standards and post-secondary expectations that include the following:

• Environments that inspire mutual respect among all learners;

• Optimism that equips learners with the tools and attitudes to approach problem-solving  with grit, perseverance, & confidence;

• Inquiry that builds on natural curiosity;

• Opportunities to merge content objectives with meaningful application and processes;

• Robust student-centered activities, marked by collaborative conversations;

• Support that honors the natural disequilibrium between the struggle to learn and the celebration of mastery;

• Optimal levels of individual student growth, continuously monitored for understanding;

• Feedback combined with self-assessment that empowers students to set incremental goals toward long-term results;

• Effective communication that demonstrates acquired knowledge and skills.

Report Cards

The State Board of Education (SBE)  approved release of the 2018 Oklahoma School Report Cards, introducing a school accountability system that corrects flaws in past iterations and provides a more comprehensive view of schools. They are available at https://oklaschools.com/

Under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and a 2016 state law, House Bill 3218, the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) was required to develop a new school accountability system. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Joy Hofmeister then convened a 95-member task force representing a diverse range of education stakeholders to rethink how the state measures school performance. The resulting accountability system is now a dashboard-based platform that provides a snapshot of multiple aspects of school and student performance.
