The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is the Department of Defense component charged with providing high-quality education for military-connected students domestically and overseas. DoDEA operates 160 schools in eight districts in 11 foreign countries, seven states, and two territories and enrolls more than 66,000 students, supporting nearly 900,000 military-connected students. The Blueprint for Continuous Improvement (Blueprint) is DoDEA's strategic plan for school years 2018/19 through 2023/24. This document represents the fourth Volume of the Blueprint. DoDEA's Blueprint is the foundation for all planning within DoDEA. The Blueprint is adapted annually to reflect progress and environmental shifts. The annual updates are evidence of DoDEA's commitment to continuous improvement. Like Volumes I through III of the Blueprint, Volume IV contains a description of the plan's specific elements and a summary of the changes made from Volume III to clarify how the focus has shifted with learning and growth.
