DDSB unveils 2024-28 Ignite Learning Multi-Year Strategic Plan

The Durham District School Board (DDSB) announced today the launch of its transformative Ignite Learning Multi-Year Strategic Plan (2024-2028). The Plan aims to create an inclusive and equitable environment where every student, staff member, and family thrives.

The Plan is underpinned by three guiding principles:

• We recognize and uphold distinct Indigenous Rights
• We affirm and uphold Human Rights
• We care about and strive to Know Each Other

The Plan’s three strategic priorities – Meaningful Learning, Connected Communities, and Well-Being – are designed to promote high-quality teaching, community engagement, and holistic support for students and staff. By centring these three strategic priorities in schools and workplaces, the DDSB aims to build confidence, trust, and a shared sense of purpose in its communities.

“This strategic plan represents our focus on student achievement and success along with our commitment to anti-oppression, equity, and the recognition of Indigenous rights,” said Christine Thatcher, Chair of the DDSB Board of Trustees. “It serves as a blueprint for meaningful learning, connected communities, and well-being, reflecting our dedication to creating environments where everyone feels valued and supported.”

The Ignite Learning Multi-Year Strategic Plan was the result of extensive public consultations, incorporating the aspirations, priorities, and feedback from diverse community partners. The DDSB invites the community to explore how these strategic priorities will shape a future where we ignite learning, ignite connection and ignite well-being.
