A Case Study of the Northgate School District: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Learning 2025: Student-Centered, Equity-Focused, Future-Driven Education

"AASA Learning 2025: Student-Centered, Equity-Focused, Future-Driven Education" is a movement that calls for a holistic redesign of the public school system by 2025. This initiative is grounded in the foundational work of the AASA Learning 2025 National Commission, comprised of thought leaders in education, business, community, and philanthropy. The work of AASA Learning 2025 is guided by the commission's report, "An American Imperative: A New Vision of Public Schools" (ED613412). To demonstrate the power and effectiveness of participating AASA Learning 2025 school districts, the AASA Leadership Network is sharing with the educational community case studies showcasing exemplary school systems that are a part of the Learning 2025 network. This case study focuses on the Northgate School District, located in western Pennsylvania and bordering the north side of Pittsburg. Addressing social equity issues is a priority in the district, with an expressed commitment to ensuring an equitable educational experience for all students, regardless of race or background. This priority is one of the major goals for the superintendent during the current academic year. The district also uses a comprehensive student information system to track individual results throughout a student's career and develop strategies to ensure student success.
