Based on the findings in the preceding self-study and WASC prior visits, the leadership team of John F. Kennedy High School has synthesized the needs expressed by all parties into the following statements of Critical Area Needs. With the direction and guidance of the school’s administrative team, the JFKHS stakeholders focused on efforts to develop a plan from department action plans to a single-action plan with appropriate timelines, responsibilities, ongoing formative and summative assessments in a timely manner for the improvement of student achievement. These three areas Academics, Communication, and Environment (A.C.E.) will be the focus of school improvement over the next two to three years and will guide the allocation of resources with regards to curriculum improvement and staff development. The Action Plan is intended to be a work in progress and will be monitored and evaluated annually to meet the changing needs of the school until the next self-study in 2011. This Action Plan will also be aligned with the District Action Plan of Guam Public School System.
