The mission of Denver Public Schools is to provide all students the opportunity to achieve the knowledge and skills necessary to become contributing citizens in our diverse society. In DPS, we’re focused on building a system that’s designed to help every student thrive. We’re re-focusing our efforts where they matter most: on creating classrooms that are vibrant centers of learning, where caring teachers are engaging their students in rigorous, culturally responsive experiences in order to lift all students toward a bright horizon. In the last ten years, DPS has experienced unprecedented growth and an expansion of programs. Building on the strong progress we’ve made, we want to continue transforming DPS into a school district grounded in equity. This districtwide focus on equity will be embedded in everything we do, so that we can help break historical patterns and become a school district that is designed to inspire every student to dream big and make their own future.

🎊Congrats to our first LOD awardee of the school year! We can't thank you enough for your amazing dedication to putting #studentsfirst! "Cathie builds a supportive and equitable classroom where students talk about their differences and the supports they need to help them learn at the early ages of 3 and 4. She knows the importance of acceptance and belonging. When a student is upset, she supports the child to name their feeling and express why they feel that way. Then, she will restate the issue for the class and ask her students for some ideas on how we can support this student either emotionally or academically. It allows feelings to become the center of importance in the classroom. It values and teaches empathy for others in a supportive way. Students are already expressing their feelings and supporting their friends independently. Students are also taking more risks academically because they feel safe and heard emotionally, and it is only the first few weeks of school!" — Jamie Hencmann, Escalante-Biggs Academy #denver #teacherappreciation #teacherfeature
