Office of Teaching & Learning Mission

The Office of Teaching and Learning (OTL) will ensure that all educators provide rigorous, authentic, and personalized experiences for all students, particularly our underserved populations, in service of the PPS ReImagined Vision and Graduate Portrait.

In 2022, PPS developed a new instructional framework to define what high-quality teaching and learning looks like in PPS. You can learn more about the framework and process for development on the PPS Instructional Framework Website and view the framework directly through PPS Instructional Framework PDF.

In 2025, PPS developed and launched a new three-year District Continuous Improvement Plan that focuses on four goals: Attendance, Literacy, Mathematics, and 9th Grade Success. Below is a snapshot of the goals and strategies.
