Achievement and Integration
Our district is working to close the achievement gap. We're using research-based methods.
Overview
All students deserve the chance to thrive today and excel tomorrow. Yet, school districts across our country have achievement and opportunity gaps.
The state of Minnesota gives us funding to find new and better ways to address these gaps.
Our district uses this funding to apply research-based methods that:
- Show promise in closing achievement and opportunity gaps.
- Help all students succeed.
Focus areas
We have two focus areas.
Creating inclusive classrooms
Strategies include:
- Use more interactive and responsive classroom practices.
- Plan lessons that meet students' basic needs — belonging, success, freedom and fun.
- Lead ongong staff trainings on these practices.
This helps all students feel a sense of belonging and do better in school.
Removing barriers
Strategies include:
- Listen to students and give them more chances to lead.
- Build stronger relationships with families.
- Connect families with community partners.
Goals
Our plan is built around three goals.
