Illinois Superintendent of Calumet to Discuss School Transformation During Free Webinar on October 26th Sponsored by ENI
(firmenpresse) - SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (Marketwire) -- 10/14/11 -- In 2007, Calumet was identified as one of the lowest performing districts in the state. Today, they are on their way to becoming one of the highest. This year's results show that grades 3-8 scored significantly higher on the 2011 ISAT results in both reading and mathematics.
Dr. Elizabeth H. Reynolds, Superintendent of , stated, "We really had to dig deep to understand the root causes of Calumet's barriers to student learning. What we found is that we needed to create ways to instill confidence in both our children and staff and develop our teachers into educational leaders."
Calumet Superintendent, Dr. Reynolds, will describe the school's transformation in Part 4 of ENI's series on "Alignment and Adaptation to the State Standards," on Wednesday, October 26th at 11:30 a.m. CDT. During the webinar, participants will learn:
How to work collaboratively with your staff during the alignment process
How to fill your curriculum, learning, and instructional delivery gaps
Ideas on incorporating the materials and resources you already own
Dr. Reynolds said, "The main focus of School District 132 is student achievement. As a Superintendent, I am obligated to build the organizational structure and environment to ensure we do everything we can to make our students successful in college and their careers."
