earning is personal! Every child deserves to be afforded the opportunity to not only take an active role in their learning, but to be in charge, and take ownership of their learning. Six years ago, Rowan-Salisbury Schools embarked on a journey to engage children in their own learning. Our district wanted children to understand why they were learning, how they were learning, and what they needed to do to grow as a learner. With literacy being our number one goal, we selected Achieve3000 as a partner to support us in our journey.
ducation experts estimate that more than 50 percent of K-12 students have been impacted by some form of trauma, including poverty, food insecurity, homelessness, domestic violence, and substance abuse. These students are more likely to act out, struggle academically, and drop out than other students. This is not a new problem. What is new is the way some educators and schools are addressing it. In many if not most cases, what we’ve found is that the students who are not graduating are trauma-impacted individuals who have not been able to move beyond that trauma in order to do other things successfully. Fortunately, many students who have experienced trauma do succeed. You can’t undo the trauma, but you can help students to get past it.
hen I became the Director of Literacy in Valley View School District, there were several goals I had to be successful. I wanted students to grow at an accelerated level to increase the amount of students reading on grade level; I wanted to have universal resources in the classroom to provide equity and consistency across the district, and I wanted a way to confidentially measure the progress of our students towards mastery of reading skills
