District 6 Instructional Focus 

(2024-2025)

Our Instructional Focus is a collective goal that supports our shared Vision and Mission, encourages collaboration, and directly influences school leadership, teacher practices, family and community engagement, and student performance. Across District 6, we are committed to embodying Empathy, Equity and Excellence through culturally responsive, high-quality curricula and rigorous, inclusive instructional practices. In every school, we will implement student-centered, data-driven Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) designed to meet diverse student needs. By actively engaging families, community members, and other stakeholders at both the school and district level, we aim to support the personal well-being, social-emotional growth and academic success of all students. 

The District's Vision, Core Values, Mission and Instructional Focus will be regularly revisited as District Leadership works in collaboration with all stakeholders, 

including students, families, educators, parent representatives, local organizations, elected officials and members of the wider community.
