That achievement acknowledges that improvement is a team effort.

I would encourage parents who are considering private tutors to have the tutor know what is expected in the student's school and to have some sort of informal assessment.

November set forth a great teaching tool for us, and as an administrator, Matthew (Constant) turned around and modeled it.

We know how important it is for students to look at material, make inferences and look at the source of the material. Our speaker did a good job of showing how it's necessary to expand the borders of students' learning, but at the same time, be more deliberate in teaching critical thinking skills.

This is a great milestone for our district. When we look at each academic area, we can see improvements and the successes of students in each content area.

Despite those solid gains, improvement haven't come as far and fast as we would have liked, and the achievement gains remains disturbing.
