| Monache High School in California's Porterville Unified School District made a 105-point gain on the California Academic Performance Index (API) over the last three years, moving from a decile 4 state ranking to a decile 7 and improving its “similar schools ranking” from 3 to 10 on a 10-point scale. Monache’s Teacher Coaches, Priscilla Girard (English Department Chair) and Larry Williams (Math Department Chair), along with Shirley Houser (1997-2007 principal) who now works with WestEd's Comprehensive School Assistance Program, will outline and discuss the process used to develop the effective professional collaboration that led to this improvement in student academic success. |
This interactive webinar will explore how teachers collaboratively analyzed data in order to design consistent, effective instructional practices, which supported improved student academic performance. The presenters will also share practices that contributed to closing achievement gaps between significant populations including low socioeconomic, English learner, and special needs students. This Online Event is sponsored by the California Comprehensive Center. |
