2 Our Theory of Action IF we develop and retain effective school leaders and teachers, AND IF we differentiate the necessary resources and services to each school, AND IF our school leaders and teachers are responsible for individual student outcomes, THEN our schools will effectively serve every child. IF we develop and retain effective school leaders and teachers, AND IF we differentiate the necessary resources and services to each school, AND IF our school leaders and teachers are responsible for individual student outcomes, THEN our schools will effectively serve every child. The PPSD theory of action is a statement about our beliefs that drives our work:

Setting the Tone for Transformation in PPSD Purpose – Every member of the PPSD community has a common understanding of the district’s goals and works to create the best possible environment for students and their families. All PPSD employees can articulate how their work directly supports student achievement. Urgency – We work with true urgency, focusing on critical issues and avoiding frantic busywork. We are driven by our deep determination to ensure that every student in the Providence Public Schools receives a world-class education. We come to work every day ready to cooperate energetically in the service of our students and their families. Focus – PPSD maintains a laser focus on ensuring that every student in every grade in every school is on track to graduate college and career ready. We prioritize important work and know when to say no to ideas of projects that will pull focus away from our key goals. Service – PPSD staff work in service to our students and their families, to the community, and to each other. We commit to ensuring that we provide other members of the community with what they need to work with purpose, urgency, and focus. We are solution- oriented and ask how to fix problems rather than where to assign blame.
