Brooklyn North High Schools
will operationalize
Centering Children, Leading with Love, and Innovating for Tomorrow by being data-driven, building collective efficacy, and using an asset-based lens. Through this approach, we will ensure that every student experiences a loving, inclusive learning community where they can pursue their passions, achieve academic excellence, and attain economic freedom.

The four pillars for improving and building trust with our families:

Reimagining the student experience
- Career Pathways Initiative —creating career-connected learning and pathways for all our students to help activate their passion and sense of purpose.
- Ensuring that all students graduate with a strong plan and head start on a pathway to the middle class, including financial literacy and civics skills.
- Supporting our children to become strong readers.
- Making sure every single one of our students is getting strong, phonics-based literacy instruction from the very start.
- Building on the universal screening tools that identify risk for dyslexia to tailor more effective responses at the earliest possible ages; strengthening early childhood education.
- Creating an Advisory Council on Literacy.
- Virtual learning -expanding virtual options for students.
Scaling, sustaining, and restoring what works
- Identifying the amazing practices throughout our system and sharing via state-of-the-art knowledge-sharing system so that they become models that other schools can try to emulate.
- Expanding opportunities for accelerated learning in every school.
Prioritizing wellness and its link to student success
- Working with the Mayor’s office to increase the number of School Safety Agents.
- Collaborating with community-based partners to support school safety, mental health, attendance, and enrichment.
- Extending learning beyond the four walls of the classroom to feed the souls of our children with visits to museums, parks, and activities in the great outdoors.
- Increasing our schools’ capacity to provide quality mindfulness practices that are scientifically researched, evidence-based, and culturally responsive.
