Pittsburgh has been described as "one of America's greatest comebacks." To realize the city’s fullest potential, Pittsburgh’s city school system needs to meet the challenges of this century and beyond. That means teachers, parents and students working together to create great successes in every Pittsburgh Public School.
As a part of the PPS Envisioning work, the district is partnering with New Voice Strategies to launch this online forum to seek your ideas and input. This Idea Exchange provides you the opportunity to engage with others committed to the success of Pittsburgh students, and share your ideas for creating high quality schools and student experiences. There is a simultaneous conversation occurring among teachers in the PPS community. At the end of this collaboration, a small group of you will be invited to present your ideas to PPS leadership.
