Students in 2025

Are our education systems well equipped to prepare these students for a world

that doesn’t exist yet?


reframing our focus

Are we about engagement or do we consider compliance with mandates to

be sufficient?

Are we focused on our students’ learning at profound levels or are we

pleased if students learn just enough to pass the standardized tests?

are needed to see this picture.


reframing our focus

Are we more concerned with being accountable for and to our students, staff, and community or are we content to be

accountable to the state?

Do we see our schools as a source of community pride or do we see them as an

extension of the government?




Decatur ISD is committed to providing a quality education where students will learn digitally, think creatively, and compete globally.

MISSION


QuickTime™ and a decompressor



BEING FUTURE READYWe all want our children to be successful in whatever they choose to do. The world is changing in how we communicate, think, and interact. This changes the way we teach and the way students learn. The ability to work with others, use technology, and solve problems are important skills needed to learn digitally, think creatively, and compete globally.


“Never again is someone going to pay you to give them answers they can look up online. They’ll only pay you to solve problems that don’t yet have answers”

Seth Godin, EDUCAUSE 2011


LEADERSHIPGoal: To develop Decatur ISD teachers, staff, administrators, and Board of Trustees to become educational leaders that will transform Decatur ISD into a model of success for the state of Texas.

years, we may be

saying goodbye to

stockbrokers, auto

Virtual services will be the basis of many jobs. There will still be real jobs to be had - but you may have to switch careers to find one.
