Theory of Action
Brooklyn North High Schools,
deeply anchored in the pedagogy of critical love,
are data driven, asset-based,
and powered by
collective efficacy.
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.
Engaging families to be our true partners
