This is the work Jeffco will do from now until the end of the 2026-27 school year. All goals and initiatives align with the four district priorities.
Priority 1: Our Learners. Our Future.
Arc of Learning: A framework of professional learning for educators across Jeffco Public Schools focused on deep implementation of academic and behavioral routines, access to grade-level standards, increasing cognitive lift, and promoting student-centered discourse.
Magic of Middle School: A guiding structure to prepare middle school students to be self-aware, well-rounded, and future-ready through the following focus areas:
- Procedural: 5th Grade Shadow Days
- Social: Clubs and activities
- Academic: Student ownership and goal setting
High School Reimagined: A vision of post-secondary preparation resulting in all students graduating high school with:
- A resume that represents proficiency in core content and durable skills
- Access to college credits and/or industry certifications
- Support in building a career plan
SchooLinks: A post-secondary workforce readiness platform to support students and families engage in a robust Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP).
Priority 2: Our People. Our Strength.
- Employee Engagement: A collaborative, inclusive team culture with high expectations for staff and student performance contributes to instructional excellence and extraordinary student experiences.
Priority 3: Our Operations. Our Foundation.
- Workday: The human capital management, financial management, and adaptive planning platform, used to create more efficient operations and streamlined services for staff.
