implementing personalized learning across an entire school district is an ambitious undertaking. it requires a dedicated investment of time and resources, but the potential benefits for student learning are undeniable. one of the biggest challenges is prioritizing thoughtful professional development for educators amid many competing priorities in districts. our team faced this challenge while partnering with the manchester shortsville central school district in new york. manchester is a rural district located near rochester, serving approximately 700 students across pk-12th grade. we had been working with a dedicated group of teachers for over a year, and their team was eager to expand the program to a wider range of educators. in closing feedback, one teacher wrote, “i found the time we had to bounce ideas off each other to be beneficial. learning about what my colleagues are doing in the classrooms was eye opening. i am always looking to learn from them.” as a result, the red jacket team engaged our 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 (ee) team to work with the whole middle and high school teams. unfortunately, finding dates that worked for everyone proved difficult.

as soon as you enter vogel elementary school, you are greeted with large smiles. it is no secret that students are excited to show up to school every day and teachers are ready to embrace their kiddos as soon as the bell rings. the reason? students are at the heart of all choices made at vogel– a blended learning campus in seguin independent school district. in the 2021-2022 school year, the texas education agency (tea) identified vogel elementary as a campus that qualified for a school action. historically, vogel elementary has received d accountability ratings from the state, although they earned a c rating based on 2022 accountability results. these results made them eligible for the school action fund (saf) cycle 6 grants. as part of the school action plan, the school selected a blended learning redesign model. this model was the best fit with existing campus and district initiatives, including the implementation of high-quality instructional materials (hqim) in math and elar classes. at 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 , we partnered with seguin isd on this work, collaborating on three key steps which led to an increase in student-driven outcome data.

nation-wide, building literacy in our children is a persistent challenge. so much of a challenge that according to the national assessment of educational progress, more than 60 percent of american fourth graders are not proficient readers. other research has shown that 95% of students are cognitively capable of reading proficiently, which indicates that lacking literacy isn’t the result of students’ capabilities; it’s the consequence of instruction failing to access and amplify students’ potential as readers and writers. the implications of this are serious. it’s often said that reading opens doors. for students who can’t read proficiently, many of those doors remain closed and the paths behind them go unexplored, so further opportunities to learn, grow, and achieve are rendered inaccessible.

picture this: sunrise in rochester, nh, where the promise of a fantastic day starts with the aroma of fresh coffee and the delightful sight of pastries from the local gem, potter's house. if you haven’t visited, you're missing out on a slice of rochester's personality—hard working, welcoming, curious, and determined. during a recent trip, while gearing up for one of our sessions, we made sure to kickstart the day with something sweet. chatting in line with a local potter's house patron, she asked why we were visiting rochester. her response was heartening: "i love our schools, and our students are amazing. i am so excited for the strategic planning that we are doing with you." being part of rochester's dedication to nearly 4000 students is a true privilege.

as school districts actively pursue the goals of their strategic vision, they tend to look outward for a spark of innovation. unfortunately, there is a limit to the amount of “new” a system can take. it is common, within a single district, there can be multiple initiatives happening at once. over-indexing new initiatives can lead to information overload, miscommunication, and burnt-out educators. that is why the most impactful approach is often to look inward to seek alignment on existing innovations.
