Comprehensive Planning
DoDEA will continuously improve its comprehensive approach to planning, allowing schools, District, Region, and Headquarters offices to appropriately plan, budget and procure the resources necessary to support student personal growth and achievement. The planning system provides the framework for an efficient, cohesive, and collaborative organization through the alignment of DoDEA’s budgetary requirements, procurements, Human Capital Plan and cycle, operational plans, cross-functional integration, and progress monitoring.
Information Technology Modernization
DoDEA’s IT infrastructure must be able to meet the wide-ranging needs of a global school system. Continued investment in DoDEA's IT infrastructure allows DoDEA to align its IT capabilities to the needs of 21st century teaching and learning. A five-year plan that balances existing and future IT requirements against budget constraints will support strategic IT modernization. This plan will align to DoDEA's curriculum, assessment, and professional learning needs as well as software and hardware requirements. Concurrently, DoDEA will remedy non-compliant systems to ensure alignment with DOD IT requirements.
Accountability for Organizational Performance
DoDEA will continue to maintain the highest standards for organizational excellence and accountability. Accountability and performance improvement will be supported by a formal data-driven continuous improvement system designed to measure the implementation and effectiveness of strategic educational initiatives and promote a culture of collaborative planning and leadership. DoDEA will develop clear policies that align accountability and school improvement efforts.
Equity for Students, Employees, and Families
DoDEA is responsible for creating an equitable system where all military-connected students, employees, and families feel welcomed, respected, engaged, and empowered.
