Student Success Plan

Curriculum, Assessment, & Instruction

The purpose of this Student Success Plan is to establish BPS’s instructional theory of action while informing stakeholders of current and upcoming initiatives, creating a cohesive narrative to connect initiatives and beliefs, and establishing shared language to discuss these initiatives. This is a living document and will be revisited for periodic review and revision.

Our instructional theory of action holds that if we want to prepare our students to be successful socially and academically, now, and in future endeavors, the District must:

The Instructional Priorities for Mathematics and Literacy Across the Content Areas clarify vital pedagogical practices that drive academic achievement. The Priorities are built around the need for a welcoming environment, high expectations, rigorous instruction, and inclusive curriculum, and are designed to guide teacher’s planning and to foster dialogue about instruction across disciplines.

Academics
Buffalo Public Schools offers a plethora of supports and services to students, families, and community members. Opportunities may include in-school student supports, services to enhance instruction, and/or efforts to support families and the community.
