About Pride in 5
We will accelerate pace, broaden definition and tailor the path to achievement for Every Child. As our students begin the educational journey from the PreK setting, we embrace the enduring vision of the graduate that compels us to put their success at the center of our work. We commit to delivering a curriculum that is captivating, rigorous, culturally responsive and student centered. Our classrooms will be filled with energy, characterized by effective communication, and dominated by student thinking. For us, it’s not enough to have “taught it.” It’s enough when our students have “applied it.” To tell this story, we will use an appropriate level of diagnostic and summative assessments, each carefully aligned and vetted to ensure value and merit.
We will meet the needs of our students by weaving interconnected webs of physical, academic, and social-emotional supports that embrace kids where they are and help them lift themselves to new victories. We will lean in with our families to identify and connect to the strengths and potential that exists in every child and in every home. Our focus on supports is based on the whole child concept and an unwavering belief in the power of self-efficacy. We want our students to leave us knowing who they are and the amazing power they have to shape their world. We want our kids to feel loved, to feel respected, to be heard, and to know that solutions to the most indomitable challenges lie ahead.
We will seize new capabilities to enhance structures for learning and working. These new structures will be grounded in outcome data, best practice, and relevant experience. We begin each of these transitions with a focus on sustainability and an insistence that improvement never ends. Benefiting from the unlimited advantages that new technologies have provided, these new systems will offer students and employees flexibility and efficiency. We have learned that teaching and working can happen effectively in a variety of formats. We will match these formats to the strengths and skills of our students and employees.
We will diversify and strengthen our highly-competent workforce by capturing the power that exists in engaging and blending talent from multiple backgrounds, cultures, races, perspectives, education, skills, and expertise across all district roles. By taking advantage of every hiring moment and focusing on the quality of training/development activities, we will accomplish extraordinary outcomes. We will continue to grow and retain talent through targeted professional development and career advancement opportunities. Prioritizing the relationships that are shared across classroom desks, cafeteria tables, faculty breakrooms, and school buildings will unleash the strength of a unified culture where differing perspectives lead to a single objective—to do special things for kids!
We will make investments in expanding opportunities for learning and working that center on a broad spectrum of success for students. These efforts will target the expansion of college preparatory experiences as well as high quality career and workforce development solutions. These programs will integrate academic standards with industry-valued competencies, providing students the necessary skills for post graduate success as well as Industry Recognized Credentials (IRCs). Reaching out to our community partners will engage our students as active citizens in service projects and in giving back. Through our expectation that “we do things differently around here,” our students and employees will benefit from an organization that prioritizes meaningful, relevant, and rewarding work at all levels.
