4. Visualizing Our Vision
If there were no obstacles at all, what would I love to see happen to the Technology & Engineering Program in Parkway?
What would I love to see my students doing? What would it look like? What would it sound like?
What is my ideal scenario? What do I want this program to be remembered or known for? How do I want people to describe our program and our student’s work?
What must happen in our program to achieve the mission of the Parkway School District?
