For the 2025–2026 school year, P.S. 91 will prioritize the following instructional focus areas:

• Early Literacy Mastery (Pre-K to 2): Ensure all students read proficiently by 3rd grade through intentional planning, MTSS instruction, and family engagement in foundational skills.

• Differentiated Literacy Instruction (Grades 3–5): Strengthen implementation of high-quality literacy practices that support multilingual learners and diverse needs using data-driven planning and progress monitoring using MTSS.

• Strategic Reading and Performing Arts Integration: Leverage the performing arts to build fluency, comprehension, and confidence, fostering students’ ability to interpret, express, and advocate through literacy-rich experiences.

• Collaborative Professional Learning: Engage teachers in shared leadership, cycles of inquiry, and reflection aligned to our instructional priorities to drive student achievement
