I appreciate that the staff have the best interest of the teachers and students in mind and it is not just 'one more thing'."

“I watched students who used to avoid reading start taking on words and even whole passages on their own. In just six weeks, our average decoding accuracy increased from 58% to 74%.”

“The results speak for themselves. Overall proficiency increased by 11.8% from beginning-of-year to end-of-year. Kindergarten proficiency rose from 27.6% to 39.4%, Grade 1 from 77.7% to 88.6%, and Grade 2 maintained strong performance at 85%. Mid-year data reflected steady progress, confirming that these practices were taking hold. Beyond the numbers, what I think truly shows the promise and hope in our district is that teachers report feeling more confident and equipped to deliver instruction that meets the needs of all learners.  They feel much more knowledgeable about analyzing data and matching student needs with instructional practices and materials to promote growth.”
