That "focus" and "direction"should be,for a governmental organization,the "pursuit of excellence" in everything that is undertaken. The taxpayers and residents of the community deserve and should demand no less. To that end, I am pleased to report that the Town �. Manager and Town Council have agreed upon a Mission Statement which strives to make Watertown "The Best Municipality of its Size in the Commonwealth by 1997" and defines five specific areas of concentration in that regard: growth management and urban design; financial planning and management; municipal service levels and infrastructure; community relations, community involvement and public information; and, employee development and productivity.The Town Administration will be constructing an Annual Implementation Plan during each budget cycle to develop specific approaches and measurable actions toward accomplishment of the Mission Statement. Also, as a means of further "focusing" the energies of the Town government, I have instituted a goals process and a management by objective system within the Town Government. Each Fall, in anticipation of the budget preparation process for the upcoming fiscal year, departments will meet with me to establish goals and objectives for their particular department which help to implement the Mission Statement and develop the quality of services and delivery mechanisms implied by the Mission Statement.

The topics used for the demonstration 5 lessons were designed as a result of a collaborative effort between the elementary Math Specialist and the classroom teacher. In addition to the planning conference, a follow-up discussion took place. Problem solving should not be thought of as a unique entity. Its role must be a continuum within the curriculum. We hoped to relay this Y philosophy, as well as demonstrate how it can be achieved. Any mathematical instructional objective can be taught in a "problem-solving climate." This approach enhances cognitive knowledge since higher levels of thinking are attained. In addition, introducing the " q calculator as a problem-solving tool was another goal f:f o accomplished. The calculator can and should be used to r develop concepts and to explore mathematical topics. Allowing teachers and students to see the role of this technology as a concept developer is important. It should y . not be thought of as a replacement of comprehension of basic skills. It should not be thought of, solely, as a means for checking answers. The calculator focuses student attention on mathematical processes. For example,calculator lessons were taught in both Mrs. 65 Boyd's and Ms. Lamacchia's kindergarten classes. department's goal of displaying student writing was met by Students used the calculator to develop number placing sets of compositions on display at the Central recognition, patterns and sequencing, and place value.
