Consortium for Educational Change.  We have invited the Consortium for Educational Change (CEC) to come to HWS February 6thand 7thto administer a system assessment.  This assessment will help to measure our strengths as a school and areas to address to support continual improvement.  We will have about 20 area educators donating their time to interview groups of stakeholders to see how we are doing in the areas of learning, collaboration and results.  We will invite some of our parents and students as well as all teachers, support staff, and committee members. These groups will be asked some questions regarding Learning, Collaboration and Results.  The system assessment will be used by our school improvement team to prioritize goals for improvement.
