As employee engagement improved, so did student performance
Atlanta Public Schools (APS) has been on a multi-year journey to rebuild its organizational culture. It s a journey driven by the belief that bringing out the best in children requires bringing out the best in those responsible for their development. It s a journey that is changing lives and putting strengths into action.
APS created an award-winning culture that gives employees what they need to provide the world-class performance its students deserve. To achieve such a culture, APS focused on engaging, supporting and encouraging students and staff, creating community trust, and putting students first.
