1. Accelerate Learning and Instruction:

Provide inclusive, rigorous instruction to every child, in a safe, welcoming, and affirming environment.

All aspects of a student’s identity – including their race, ethnicity, language, and gender – are assets in the learning process.

2. Partner With Communities:

Improve every community’s experiences with the DOE. Empower families with a shared mission for student success and equitable outcomes.

“Partner” means we are equals with parents, families, and communities. The work goes in both directions: we all must make important contributions to ensure student success.

3. Develop People:

Cultivate a learning culture by valuing and developing individuals and teams.

We are a system of people. People are our most important asset.

4. Advance Equity Now:

Transform outcomes by tackling inequities in all forms throughout the system.

This means investing in historically underserved communities (with resources, time, attention, and direction). This also means thinking through investments we have historically always made.
