Our Vision
-
The Division of Student Services' vision reflects our commitment to high academic achievement for all students and a belief that student learning is a shared responsibility
of everyone in the Denver Public Schools.
Given that students' academic success is dependent on their physical health and social-emotional well being, all students will:
-
Possess emotional well being to assume responsibility, value self and others and effectively self-advocate.
-
Use appropriate social and self-management skills for productive relationships to connect positively with school and community.
-
Demonstrate personal responsibility by maintaining physical health.
And, all students with disabilities will:
-
Demonstrate ongoing, measurable academic growth.
-
Acquire, use and maintain unique skills necessary to participate in the general education curriculum and be life-long learners.
-
Develop independent living skills to meet personal needs and goals.
Our vision will occur by ensuring:
-
Systems to continuously monitor each student's academic progress.
-
Processes to use progress-monitoring data to plan for students' instructional needs.
-
An array of research-based and culturally relevant interventions with varying levels of intensity and focus.
-
A comprehensive system to prevent and intervene in the area of students' unique social-emotional and physical health needs.
-
A systematic, non-biased, instructionally relevant process for identifying students for Special Education services.
-
Additional levels of support for students who require intensive and/or specialized services.
-
An atmosphere where parents and community are invited and welcome partners focused on their children's instructional needs.
-
Qualified personnel with skills to use data to provide appropriate research-based instructional practices to meet the unique needs of their students.
