From MCPS Superintendent Dr. Taylor
While many of our students achieve at the highest levels, not all have had access to the opportunities and resources needed to meet their full potential. I am committed to MCPS’s mission to address disparities in student outcomes by closing gaps in opportunity and achievement for every student, in every classroom, in every one of our schools.
To achieve our shared goals for an excellent educational experience that works for all students and fully supports all staff, we must first ensure the workplace and school environments are in place to support readiness and achievement before any changes for improvement can be implemented. Therefore, I think in the following way: first, we must consider Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs before we can even tackle Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning. This means we must support the basic needs of students and staff before we make systemic operating changes to how we do the work.
