MARYLAND TRANSFORMS - STRATEGIC PLAN
INTRODUCTION TO THE
STRATEGIC PLAN
The Maryland State Board of Education and Maryland State Department of Education have developed a multiyear Strategic Plan
composed of three phases leading up to June 2023. The Strategic Plan anchors the vision, mission, values, priorities, enablers,
goals, and flagship programs, initiatives, and strategies to realize the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future promise of an excellent
and equitable education for every student. This guidebook articulates the elements of each phase of the Strategic Plan:
PHASE 1: The vision and mission for transforming public education in Maryland. The values that inform our
everyday practices and relationships with our diverse communities and stakeholders. The priorities that
must be achieved to ensure a successful educational experience for every Maryland student, from early
childhood to college and careers. The enablers, or structural conditions, regarding data-driven
decision-making, resource allocation, human capital, and support systems that need to be in place
for the priorities to be achieved.
PHASE 2: The goals that guide our direction in creating long-lasting, positive change
in education. The metrics, or the data sources and data subsets, used to evaluate
progress and establish baseline measures.
PHASE 3: The programs, initiatives, and strategies grounded in
research and modeled around national best practices to create
high-quality learning environments for students.
