innovative leadership | school districts
in putnam county, tenn., with 23 schools spread across 400 square miles, we share many of the challenges faced by our fellow rural school districts nationwide, including inconsistent attendance, long commutes, and a high "mobility rate" - the rate at which students are moving in and out of the district. previously, putnam county teachers had been using more traditional, often low-tech teaching methodologies. but starting eight years ago, we began to make a significant shift toward personalized and virtual learning with the goal of preparing students to be "future-ready," a term we use in putnam county to encompass both college-and career-ready as a more flexible concept as students often work toward both at once.
