The TDSB's Literacy Strategy 2024-2028 will ensure that all students achieve high levels of literacy regardless of their background or social identity. A focus will be placed on providing specific oral language, reading and writing instruction and learning experiences that cultivate a sense of joy, engagement and belonging.

The TDSB is committed to providing exceptional, inclusive, empowering and culturally responsive mathematics education for all students. We believe strongly that every math classroom across our system should be a place where students of all backgrounds and abilities can excel. Our aim is for all students to reach high levels of academic achievement, while also developing a deep appreciation for mathematics that will serve them in the future, regardless of the pathway they follow. The TDSB’s Math Achievement Action Plan, Mathematics for All: Supporting & Empowering Every Student, Every Classroom, was approved in 2023 and guides this work. As a system, we continue to monitor TDSB EQAO results and make adjustments to the plan as needed.
