ResetBeyond the Bell
Beyond the Bell enriches the middle school experience for DC Public School students by expanding access to youth sports, clubs, and immersive activities. Aligned with DCPS’s 2023-2028 Strategic Plan, this initiative helps students grow, connect, and thrive by doubling afterschool enrichment opportunities and boosting students’ sense of belonging.
Equity Centered Principal Pipeline
DCPS works in partnership with Universities and Community Organizations leaders to create, design, and implement an equity-centered leadership pipeline where educators and the students they serve feel loved, challenged, and make an impact on Washington D.C. and the world at-large.
IMPACT and IMPACTplus
IMPACT was the very first investment: a rigorous teacher accountability system that sparked a student-performance minded culture across DCPS. Over the years, its evolved into IMPACTplus, which added results-driven compensation and career paths which set new records for teacher and school leader retention across the district.
