World's Best Workforce District Plan

The Early Childhood program, serving students from birth to kindergarten entry, helps children develop the skills necessary to be successful in school and in life through guided play, interaction with peers, and parent/child activities. The Parent and Family Education program supports families through classes, speakers, handouts, and parenting sessions.

Centennial School District is committed to equity and access for all:

1. We will raise the achievement of all students while eliminating the predictability of
   academic achievement based upon class, race, gender, or disability.
2. We will implement culturally responsive teaching and leadership practices that reflect the
   contributions and perspectives of all people.
3. We will identify and address institutional barriers that perpetuate opportunity and
   achievement gaps.
4. We will foster inclusive relationships across all Centennial communities.

We take seriously the unique learning needs of every child and we have made and continue to make investments in staffing, programming and services that enhance the academic, social and emotional needs of students.

All teachers, paraprofessionals and principals participate in a robust professional development program. This programming is designed to provide staff with the knowledge and skills they need to maximize their impact on student learning and the culture for learning. 

2016 legislation requires WBWF plans to include a process to examine the equitable distribution of teachers and strategies to ensure low-income and minority children are not taught at higher rates than other children by inexperienced, ineffective, or out-of-field teachers as well as a system to periodically review and evaluate students' access to effective teachers who are members of populations underrepresented among the licensed teachers in the district or school and who reflect the diversity of enrolled students.
