Our plan for building a generation of leaders

Baltimore's students are filled with talent, dreams, and enormous potential. Our responsibility is to help them develop the knowledge and skills they need to pursue the future that calls them. Building a Generation: City Schools’ Blueprint for Success lays out how we are making that happen.

Based on research and conversations with hundreds of stakeholders, the blueprint focuses on three areas to help students reach their goals:

• Student wholeness

• Literacy

• Staff leadership

These areas go hand in hand: If students are motivated and excited about learning, have the skills to think critically, analyze deeply, and express themselves powerfully, and have adults around them who encourage them to persist and excel, they can progress toward high school graduation and postsecondary success.
