Ideas in Action: Baldwin Academy

Baldwin Academy is an elementary school in La Puente, California with a high poverty, high minority student population that performs well above its peers and has maintained a “similar schools ranking” of 10 (on a 10-point scale) on the California Academic Performance Index (API) for over four years. Baldwin is beating the odds and demonstrating success with its students. How have they accomplished this? In this interactive presentation, California school and district leaders interested in honing their instructional programs will learn from principal Bonnie Wilson about successful strategies at Baldwin. Topics will include Baldwin’s staff focus on participating in shared decision-making and collaboration, providing professional learning opportunities, conducting ongoing analysis of data, and creating a culture of high expectations and extensive family involvement. This webinar is presented by the American Institutes for Research and WestEd as partners in the California Comprehensive Center to highlight high performing schools making a difference in student achievement.
