Strategic Plan

How we're delivering on the goals and outcomes of Vision2031. 

Vision 2031 was launched in Fall 2018 as a bold response to community-wide stakeholder engagement and a call to action to reimagine public education. More than 250 staff, students, and community members served on Strategic Task Forces in the fall of 2018 to help us identify what success will look like in 2031.

As we continue to operationalize the core tenants of Vision 2031, we have divided our work into three main goal areas: Learning and Teaching, Operations, and District Culture. Within each goal area, there are specific outcomes that are aligned with our overarching strategies. This process is our strategic plan for Vision 2031. 

Strategic Plan Goals

Every E-12+ classroom will move toward rigorous concept- and inquiry-based personalized learning that activates literate, critically conscious behaviors and is undergirded by wellness and restorative practices.

We will increase wellness by building a workplace culture that is safe and caring. We will experience wholeness by increasing trust, sharing power, and ensuring people are of equal worth.

We will identify and address system gaps or flaws that prevent Hopkins Public Schools employees from doing their jobs efficiently or effectively.
