AEO: Achievement, Enrichment, and Opportunity

  • A Message from Dr. Peter Stiepleman
     
    Frequently, I get asked these two questions:
    1. "How do you go about leading reform?"
    2. "What do you do  as the superintendent?"
    Neither of these questions get at the core of what I think people are really  asking me. What they're trying to discern is why do public schools exist? That's a reasonable question. This is what I believe: I believe that schools exist to allow access. 
    • Access to a great curriculum;
    • Access to skilled teachers and a nurturing environment;
    • Access to experiences beyond the core curriculum;
    • Access to interest-based activities before and after school; and
    • Access to school--we must be a system that eliminates barriers for children. 
    I have framed this issue of access into three letters. Three vowels, actually, because like vowels, these three words serve as the core--they represent the WHY  for everything we do.

    I encourage you to view the video linked to this page (the link shown at upper right--"AEO Video: Who Writes Your Story?"). I explain AEO and how AEO is a belief system that is more important today than ever before. We want all of our children to be able to access an excellent education. I'm committed to that.
