Section LXXIII-101 - Mission and Goals of the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (SBESE)

A. As part of the scope of education in Louisiana, Family and Consumer Sciences Education embraces the mission and goals of education as adopted by the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.

1. The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education pledges its commitment to the proposition that every child is valued and every child will learn.

2. On order that we may honor this commitment, the board will aggressively pursue new and different ideas, develop a strong systemic process for change, and dedicate our energies and resources to that mission.

3. The board recognizes that education is an on-going process in which learning is the constant and time is the variable. It is for this reason that we propose and adopt the following goals that we believe will help chart the course for every child in Louisiana:

a. focus on the early years;

b. prepare students for the workplace;

c. increase literacy, reduce dropouts;

d. support teachers;

e. support children and families;

f. provide performance based accountability.

B. The mission and goals of education in Louisiana are achieved in part through implementation of the Louisiana Content Standards Foundation Skills and of the Information Literacy Model for Lifelong Learning.
