  • Human Resources Theory of Action

    We believe that...
    IF we hire and retain employees, particularly employees of color, who believe in the PPS Vision and demonstrate a particular aptitude for the Educator Essentials,
    THEN we will accelerate achievement for underserved students and achieve the Graduate Portrait for all students, especially our Black and Native American students, who face the greatest barriers.
