What is COMPASS?
COMPASS is designed to guide and support the examination and improvement of systems. We strive for equitable outcomes by prioritizing access to strong tier-1 instruction for all Minnesota students. We will do this regionally by:
-
Animating systems to realize change
-
Building our shared capacity
-
Collaborating effectively on cause, action, and impact.
-
Promoting responsive, creative, innovative, and adaptive solutions.
