The mission for the FBC network for Student Improvement Teams is as follows:
Our mission is to assist teams, schools, and districts with the implementation and application of the problem-solving process to improve the learning outcomes of all students. Implementation of the problem-solving process is reflected in how teams involve families and students, facilitate the process, and maximize the use of school and community resources. Application is reflected in how schools utilize the problem-solving process to develop logical and defensible School Improvement Plans, targeted plans for groups of students, or Student Improvement Plans for individual students.
