DCPS Connected Schools

We are 14 DC Public Schools implementing DCPS' version of the #CommunitySchool model -- a whole school, whole child approach!

[Paul Laurence Dunbar @DunbarHSDC]

Today our 10th grade students and staff heard about the Connected Schools model and how it impacts and expands capacity for the whole school community. Healing centered practices, authentic community engagement, strong student support systems are just a few of the key elements we are practicing . We are ready to start the year strong! @dcpublicschools @DCPSconnected @XQAmerica

Pretty cool that @POTUS and @FLOTUS visited a @DCPSconnected #communityschool to start the school year.

[Paul Laurence Dunbar @DunbarHSDC]

This past week at Dunbar has been special. We've had many activities and partners invest in the wellbeing of our students. @Deloitte and @CollegeBoundInc spoke to our 9th grade academy for Impact Day. As we #redesign high school, we will continue to give our students new experiences with those who have been successful. The industry professionals and the current and newly graduate students discussed the current and future work climate, their own personal and professional journeys, and some best practices to being intentional about making life decisions.

We 💙 Ms. Walden! Happy National School Counselor Week!

[DC Public Schools @dcpublicschools]

Today's #NSCW23 spotlight is Ms. Miche' Walden, the @JohnsonMiddleDCschool counselor. She was born and raised in DC and is a proud advocate for students and families who call Ward 8 home. Recently, she received a $100,000 grant to expand CTE programs at Johnson!

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

By investing in things like high-dosage tutoring, afterschool & summer learning programs, and tutoring/mentorship programs that are focused on accelerating learning – we can close achievement gaps & help students perform better in the classroom.
