INNOVATION PROPOSAL RATIONALE
     Our school district’s mission statement focuses on providing the best, well-rounded, and diverse education for each and every student while encouraging each student to reach their fullest potential, thereby leading a healthy and productive life.  The educational philosophy of the district states:  belief that all students can be successful; students learn at different rates and in different ways; students need the skills necessary for life-long learning; the education of all citizens is basic to the community’s well-being; achievement is positively affected by parent and community involvement; students reflect the moral and ethical values of their environment; all have a right to a safe environment; each person is responsible for his/her actions; innovation involves taking risks; schools are responsible for creating the conditions that promote success; and each person is entitled to retain his/her dignity. 

Each goal and performance standard in the Weiner Elementary plan plugs directly into the umbrella of the district’s mission and philosophy, doing so in a manner that is both pragmatic and inventive.  For instance, the plan’s Communicate/Connect goal/performance targets honor the district’s commitment to a diverse education and creating conditions that promote success through daily classes in Spanish for all students, enabling them to find commonality with our country’s rapidly changing ethnic composition and also enhance their future job opportunities; working directly with our on campus, "Cardinal Community Center" links to the district’s focus on community involvement.

The Character/Change goal/performance targets link with the district’s belief that all students can be successful learners through the flexible grouping for differentiation component of the plan; the plan’s infusion of character education fits with the district’s emphasis on moral and ethical values. 

The plan’s Concrete/Careers goal/performance targets mesh with the district’s belief that all students learn at different rates through the plan’s laser approach to mastery of foundation skills within differentiated instruction; the district’s attention to the creation of conditions that promote success is extended in the plan’s emphasis on career education.

The Culture goal/performance targets connect with the district’s attention to quality education, by uniting all aspects of a quality curriculum into a unified whole through infusion of the arts into all learning. 

The plan’s Create goal/performance targets find commonality with the district’s focus on providing conditions that promote success through the strategic inclusion of creative thinking within and throughout project and problem based learning –skills that become more and more vital as our world rapidly evolves. 

Each of the goals and performance targets of the Weiner Elementary School plan finds commonality with those of the district, yet approaches many of those goals in uncommon ways –ways that work together, transforming delivery and response to learning, thereby ensuring each student has ready, confident access to the skills and attitudes vital for college and/or the workforce in today’s ever-changing world.

The educational philosophy of the district voices its belief that:  “Innovation involves taking risks,” a statement that magnifies Harrisburg School District’s willingness to embrace any and all strategies that develop successful students.  The significance of the School of Innovation designation to our district speaks loudly to our students, our community and our county; it brings credibility to a transformed school that reflects the excitement of today’s rapidly changing world –a world that --with a rigorous, relevant, and innovative education, has a place for each and every student regardless of who they are or where they happen to live.
