After well over a year of planning and preparation, Hastings Public Schools hosted a Tri-State visitation team from November 16th - November 18th, 2016. During their time in Hastings, the visitation team was tasked to critically review the district in three different areas. The district's Tri-State Steering Committee established three essential questions that we asked the visitation team to consider during their visit.  

 

EQ#1:  To what degree do students in the Hastings-on-Hudson School District demonstrate that they are engaged in their learning?

 

EQ#2:  To what degree does the Hastings-on-Hudson School District integrate technology in meaningful ways to support student engagement?

 

EQ#3:  To what extent do faculty, students, and parents within the Hastings-on-Hudson School District share a common understanding of what student engagement is in our classrooms? 

 

This process proved to be an empowering experience for our faculty, staff, administration, students, and parents. More than 25 teachers, students, administrators, and parents volunteered to facilitate presentations to the members of the visitation team. During their time in Hastings, the visitation team performed classroom observations and held many focus groups. The final report, including findings and recommendations is attached below.
