  • Springfield Public Schools strives to remain laser-focused on supporting Every Student, Every Day. Our work is guided by our district strategic plan, supported by three fundamental strategies that are applied to all our work:

    1. Providing multi-tiered systems of support that allow us to meet the needs of the individual child to create optimal learning experiences.
    2. Guaranteed and viable curriculum that supports learning through aligned academic standards, student-friendly learning targets, and highly effective teaching strategies.
    3. Ensure quality instruction which is grounded in evidence-based practices that strengthen the academic core and address the learning needs of every student.

    Our dedicated and commited faculty, staff and administrators show up every day to meet the needs of our students.

    The teaching and learning department is charged with providing a streamlined and systemic instructional program. This includes resources and professional development for teachers and staff.
