The Blueprint in Action focus for the months of November and December is Each and Every Student. During these months we will be spotlighting how our schools are taking on the challenge to meet the needs of each and every student, specifically highlighting the efforts in GCPS to meet these objectives in our strategic plan:

  • Create systems, structures, and processes that institutionalize and operationalize the GCPS commitment to recognizing, valuing, and leveraging differences to interact effectively and better serve our students, staff, and community. 1.A ​

  • Identify academic and non-academic strengths, needs, and interests of each and every student to ensure whole learner, whole child focus. 2.A ​

  • Increase opportunities for students to demonstrate eligibility for gifted/talented programming. 2.B ​

  • Sustain teaching quality and reduce variability between schools and classrooms. 4.A
