Westfield Washington Schools

Westfield High School Senior Tyler Andrzejewski conducts an interview on ROCK-TV with Jan Polderman, Director of Magistrum Educational Leadership Development.  Mr. Polderman was one of six members from the Dutch Center for Leadership Development who toured the district and learned about quality processes including the district’s five-year strategic plan, scorecards (results of the strategic plan), quality tools and alignment of processes throughout the district.

The educational leadership group from Holland visited several classrooms at Westfield High School and Maple Glen Elementary School.  From data walls filled with student growth charts, to AP (Advanced Placement) Courses that earn college credit, the group observed how teachers are using quality processes in their classrooms to improve instruction and student growth.

The district embarked on the quality journey in 2005.  Since that time, the district has used quality initiatives to improve the educational process.  Scorecards for each building and the district measure the progress of the strategic plan’s three target areas:  student learning, safe and healthy environment and fiscal responsibility.
