PreK-12 Instructional Program Pathways Initiative
The Department of Teaching and Learning is leading the PreK-12 Instructional Programs Pathway (IPP) framework process that ensures multiple pathways to student success and aligns with the 2018-24 APS Strategic Plan and Profile of a Virginia Graduate.
This process will define the elements of an option school, and how neighborhood schools and option programs fit within the APS pathway, taking into account multiple elements that come together to support strong academics and the whole child as APS continues to grow, including:
- updating policies
- ensuring equal opportunity for access to programs
- renovating and building schools
- making boundary changes
