Abstract | In seeking a better match-up between the mission and the resources of the Colorado Department of Education (CDE), its senior leadership has not only been examining their own responsibility areas, but also the entire Department and how its highly varied components fit together. The starting point for this discussion paper was the State Board of Education's (SBE) Strategic Plan, which is the most global and coherent expression of the SBE/CDE mission. The other key reference point was the annual CDE budget, which comprehensively describes the resource allocation and is the foundation of annual dialogs with both the Executive and Legislative branches over both money and mission. The overview section of this paper examines perspectives on higher education, noting that those in K-12 must also have an understanding of post-secondary education realities. The succeeding sections--"Six Themes"--provides reflections on topics that recur in CBE's meetings and discussions about its work. The six themes are: (1) Prioritizing School Finance: Change in a Constant Cost Environment; (2) Early Childhood: The Unknown Imperative; (3) Literacy: Without Which Little Else Matters; (4) Choice: The Unfolding Revolution; (5) Data and Accountability: A Continuum; and (6) Focus, Intensity, and the Achievement Gap. The final section, "CDE: As We Are and As We Might Better Be," is a status report on the ongoing efforts to bring the mission and resources of CDE into the most realistic and productive relationship possible. An overarching purpose of this paper is to strongly resist the tendency to discuss mission and resources separately. In so doing, this discussion paper intends to bring clarity, strength, and renewed energy to CBE's role in charting a brighter course for the children of Colorado. (ERIC). |
