Talented Individuals & Teams

All Jackson Public Schools team members must maintain high expectations for themselves and others. We recognize that the quality of education greatly depends on the capabilities of each team member and each team. Scholars excel when they are guided by adults who understand their unique needs and are skilled in facilitating high-quality and differentiated learning experiences. To achieve this, we will enhance our recruitment processes and increase our skills across the entire district, including our ability to maintain safe, functional, and supportive environments for all. While increasing our individual capacities is critical, it is also imperative that we increase our ability to work in cohesive and effective teams.
