MOBIUS UPDATEWhat is happening at
UCA?
So what
has
happened
since our
Renewal
Celebration
?
In viewing this presentation, it is our
hope that you will have a glimpse of some of the many
activities the Board and Leadership Team
of UCA have addressed since our
Celebration of Renewal Meeting on November 29, 2012.
The results handout given to each of you at that meeting is duplicated for
you on the slides. The colored circles indicate which of the 5 Disciplines is being addressed as was indicated in
the Organizational Assessment completed from the Focus Groups
meetings.
A large values banner paintedby Mrs. DeLaBruere
is hanging in the cafeteria
Posters which are duplicates of the banner are hanging in
each classroom and throughout the school
The Leadership team has helped to bridge the gaps between the Board, the faculty and the parents. Defining
roles and authority has been part of the
process.
Each member has embraced the MOBIUS process – but we are all
still learning – and there is much left to do
!Each of these
responsibilities takes considerable attention and time – and all the
meetings are in addition to everyone’s
full time jobs….
The Leadership team has met most Mondays
for 90 minutes – and has been very busy!!

Mission Statement The mission of United Christian Academy is to provide a Christ centered education to students K-12 from the Northeast Kingdom as well as internationally. We are a unique multi-denominational school with Catholic and Protestant students, faculty and staff. Our unity lies in requiring all families to be open to the Christian faith and desiring all students to come to a personal faith in Jesus Christ
MISSION STATEMENT (con’t)
UCA is seeking students who want to be challenged by high academic and moral standards, which include a commitment to community service. We strive to partner with families and to have them be active participants in all aspects of our school in order to bring about a sense of belonging in the educational process.
Using the Four Fold way, Julie has been
encouraging teachers to look at conflicts
from another perspective and has
mediated several conflict situations
Meetings…..>Pre-set agendas>Action plans define champions and time accountability>Time is respected>Ground rules encourage productivity and respect for each other
