P77K’S Vision, Mission Statement, and Instructional Focus 2026-2027

P77K School Vision

At P77K, it is the belief of every stakeholder that every student learns in their own unique way and deserves unlimited possibilities. Guided by this

belief, we provide individualized supports tailored to each student's learning needs and styles, ensuring meaningful access to learning standards

through specialized instruction. Our approach prioritizes the development of communication, social-emotional, interpersonal, and independence

skills while also addressing academic growth based on each student's current learning level. We are committed to maintaining a safe, inclusive, and

supportive environment where all learners are seen, heard, valued, and empowered, fostering self-esteem and positive peer relationships. At P77K,

students, families, and staff work together to promote academic achievement, personal growth, meaningful life experiences, and successful

participation in the broader community and throughout adulthood.

P77K School Mission

The mission of P77K is to understand how each student learns best and provide a rigorous, individualized education within a safe, nurturing, and

respectful environment. Through specialized instruction, meaningful life experiences, and strong family and community partnerships, we empower

students to develop communication, academic, social-emotional, and independent living skills that support lifelong learning. We are committed to

providing meaningful access to grade-level standards while fostering self-advocacy, confidence, and independence, creating pathways for every

student to succeed at school, at home, in the community, and throughout adulthood.

P77K Vision of Racial Equity

P77K’s vision of racial equity lies in the belief that all students and staff will be provided with a safe and supportive environment to raise the

achievement of all students while eliminating disparities in how students are given access. Staff will participate in equity training and implement

methodologies of culturally responsive teaching to enhance the learning community. Due to these practices, barriers to student success will be lifted

as students explore personal aspects of race to reach their highest level of independence across all settings.

P77K CR-SE Vision

At P77K, we strive to create an inclusive, dynamic learning environment where all students are empowered to reach their highest potential in

literacy, communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking. We envision a school where students gain the confidence and skills needed to

succeed socially, emotionally, academically, and within their communities. Our vision includes a deep commitment to continuous reflection and

growth in our teaching practices. We encourage staff to examine their internalized norms, reflect on their impact, and embrace culturally responsive

education. By doing so, we aim to build a community where equity and inclusivity are foundational. We are preparing our P77K community to

thrive in a diverse and interconnected world, ensuring every educator is equipped with the tools and cultural competence necessary to support the

success of every student, regardless of background or ability.

P77K CR-SE Mission

At P77K, we are committed to using collaborative data inquiry to drive continuous improvement in student achievement, especially in literacy,

communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking. We aim to equip students with the skills and confidence needed for success throughout life—

academically, socially, and within their communities. We support our educators in reconnecting with their “why”, recognizing the purpose and value

they bring, and igniting their passion to become the best educators for our students. Through intentional teacher preparation and culturally

responsive strategies, we guide students to develop cultural competence—rooted in their own identity while appreciating and navigating the rich

diversity around them. At P77K, we empower all learners to communicate and thrive in diverse contexts.

P77K’s Transition and Work-Based Learning Mission

At P77K, we ensure that students are college, career, and life ready with meaningful pathways to employment, independence, and economic security

by working collaboratively with students, families, community partners, and adult service agencies to support a seamless transition from school to

adult life.

Through P77K’s Tiered Work-Based Learning Pathway and Postsecondary Readiness Tracker, students participate in developmentally sequenced,

authentic career-connected learning experiences that reflect their strengths, interests, and goals. Grounded in research, centered on student voice,

and informed by data, our program provides individualized learning experiences and meaningful work-based learning opportunities that develop

communication, critical thinking, creativity, workplace readiness, self-reflection, and independence.

By building individualized pathways informed by student strengths, meaningful data, and authentic experiences, our program equips students to set

goals, monitor their growth, and prepare for successful postsecondary outcomes, lifelong learning, and successful adult lives.

P77K Instructional Priority Focus

If I strengthen teacher capacity through targeted Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) focused on effective small-group instruction and data-

driven instructional practices, then teachers will provide differentiated, standards-aligned instruction that meets students’ individual learning needs,

resulting in measurable growth in students’ literacy and mathematics skills.

P77K CEP Goals for 2026-2027

Priority 1: Literacy/NYC Reads

By June, 2027, literacy for Students with Disabilities (SWD) in grades K-12 will improve in reading comprehension skills through tiered small group instruction, NYC Reads Curriculum, explicit instructional practices, and targeted reading intervention strategies, as measured by a 5% increase, from 55% to 60%, of percentage of improved student independence in reading on the

SANDI/FAST assessments.

Priority 2: Math/NYC Solves

By June, 2027, Students with Disabilities (SWD) in grades K-12 will demonstrate measurable growth in mathematics, increasing the percentage of students meeting or exceeding individualized growth targets from 45% to 60%, as measured by SANDI/FAST assessments and NYC Solves curriculum-based assessments. This growth will be achieved through the implementation of NYC Solves curricula, standards-aligned mathematics instruction, target small-group interventions, ongoing analysis of student assessment data, and MTSS practices designed to strengthen conceptual understanding, mathematical discourse, problem-solving, and student independence.

Priority 3: Safe and Inclusive Schools

By June, 2027, safety/belonging for Students with Disabilities (SWD) will improve, as measured by a 20.2% Decrease, inpercentage for elementary and secondary in classroom behavioral incidents from 34.2% to 14%, per the Online Occurrence Reporting System (OORS) report.

Priority 4: College and Career Readiness

By June, 2027, the Percentage of students ages 14–22 participating in career-connected work- based learning experiences. For all Students will increase by 5% from 85% to 90% as measured

By June, 2027, the Percentage of Chronically Absent Students for Students with Disabilities (SWD) will decrease by 6%, from 98% to 92%, as measured by the Insight Attendance Reports.

Additional Priority: High Quality Inclusive and Accessible Learning for Students with Disabilities

By June, 2027, to strengthen the quality and implementation of IEPs for Students with Disabilities (SWD), we will improve Alignment of IEPs across present level of performance (PLOP), goals, and recommended programs and services and timeliness of IEP completion, by a 3% Increase, from 95% to 98%, as measured by SESIS Team and internal IEP reviews.
