Recognizing FISD’s future excellence

With the increased state ranking standards last year, Frisco ISD fell from our well-expected Recognized ranking to a ranking of Academically Acceptable. The main reason for this fall was the inability of the district to meet the needs of African American and economically challenged student populations in Science. There are many other factors that go into the formula of rankings, but overall this demonstrates that FISD must grow in order to meet the needs of our increasingly global population.

As Frisco continues to grow, new and diverse populations with unique learning abilities are entering the schooling system. We must be prepared to look at new and innovative ways to meet these needs and advance the education of all of our students as one large learning community. Through data driven critical needs assessments and better community awareness analysis, we can better determine the needs of these and all of our diverse populations and offer more highly enriched teaching practices and curriculum. As a leader, I will keep FISD constantly looking forward to foresee the future needs of our community and create strategic plans to be better prepared to meet them before they arise.

Through my background of working in the educational field on three different continents, with pre-kindergarten to adult learners, and with diverse ethnic, economic, and socially classes of students, I know that I can assist the district in meeting this goal of regaining the Recognized status on the pathway to become an Exemplary district. I have an extremely global concept of educational practices and understand that FISD and all the communities that are part of it, more and more require this modern and unified type of learning techniques and programs.
