Shared Leadership for Continuous Improvement. The goal of shared leadership is to improve instruction and learning for students. It is expected that the Adult Education Program continuously develops strategies to improve student achievement and to eliminate gaps in learning among different student groups. The chosen strategy of the District is to help each student achieve full potential by moving decision-making closest to the students served. Shared decision-making assures that all individuals involved in the process of educating students will have a voice in the discussion. The benefit of shared decision-making is supported by research that reveals that people who are involved in the decision-making process are healthier and are more successful in achieving the goals of the organization. With that in mind, the purpose of the Adult Education Shared Leadership Team (SLT) is to provide leadership in the program’s development and promote staff involvement in decisions affecting the operation of the program.

A shared decision-making process is integral to ABE Program accountability. Accountability for student progress is incorporated into the content and performance standards and assessments that are aligned with the curriculum. The main component of professional accountability is the Professional Development Continuum (PDC). Program accountability includes, but is not limited to, the Minnesota Adult Basic Education Annual Performance Report and the MPS Community Education Department Improvement Plan (DIP).
