The Bridge to Excellence
in Public Schools Act requires local school systems to develop a
five-year comprehensive master plan that includes goals and
strategies to promote academic excellence for all students and to
eliminate performance gap that persist based on students race,
ethnicity, socioeconomic circumstances, disability, and native
language.
The overarching themes of
the Bridge to Excellence Master Plan are closely aligned to those of
the federal NO Child Left Behind legislation, the Maryland State
Department of Education's Visionary Panel recommendations for
accelerating achievements for all students, and your own AACPS goals.
Curriculum, Instruction and teacher quality, alignment,
accountability and funding are major areas of concentration for each
of the federal, state, and local initiatives. The Elementary and
Secondary Education Act Performance Goals provide a framework under
which Anne Arundel County Public Schools has organized performance
targets and strategies to reach those targets.
