Secrets of Making AYP Revealed by School Improvement Network
Salt Lake City, UT, Feb 15, 2012 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) --
Student achievement is a difficult and a complicated thing to measure, let alone accomplish. However, as leaders like Pittsburgh Public Schools Superintendent Linda S. Lane are demonstrating, with the right classroom management strategies, and well-developed district wide initiatives, any teacher and any school can boost student achievement significantly and make AYP.
This month, PD developer School Improvement Network is releasing an extensive interview with Dr. Lane in which she discusses the strategies that led her district to make AYP two out of the past three years.
In the course of the interview, Dr. Lane reveals secrets of classroom management and school leadership that anyone can use to boost performance at school. She discusses how to:
Manage racial disparity
Close achievement gaps
Increase state assessment scores
Strengthen student-teacher relationships
Assure that students make and reach goals
Assure that teachers make and reach goals
Implement the Common Core
Communicate with parents and community members
