A group of families, students and community members have come together to set a shared vision for the future of education in Denver.

Why did we start the journey to create this vision?

The education system in Denver faces an important moment, and there is work to be done to provide an equitable education for every young person in Denver. Our intention is that this vision for the future of education will lead to more equitable outcomes through Denver’s public school system.

The co-created vision for Denver’s students:

Deepens
rigor and joy

The education system supports academic excellence while managing the concerns that students and families may experience.

CULTIVATES COMMUNITY AND BELONGING

The education system ensures that every student has meaningful connections to each other and to trusted adults.

SUSTAINS THE WHOLE CHILD

The education system celebrates and honors the differences in culture, language, race and ability, and helps students thrive in their full identity.

SEEKS RELEVANCE

The education system fosters deep real-world connections through intentional use of community-connected and project-based learning.

SUPPORTS COMPASSIONATE PROFESSIONALS

The education system ensures that all adults who support student learning have the resources they need to be thoughtful and responsive to the needs of students and families.

OPERATES SYSTEMATICALLY AND CONSISTENTLY

The education system reliably provides these experiences for every student and family in a way that they can easily navigate.
