“These schools shine as bright beacons for others, putting forth an exemplary effort to ensure that every student is ready for 21st century college and careers,” said Tom Torlakson, state superintendent of public instruction.
As part of the state application process, school site teams described a model program at their schools including standards-based activities and best practices that can be replicated by other schools.
The model programs highlighted by district Gold Ribbon Schools include: 1) The School-Wide Technology Training Model (SWTTM), also known as “The Tech Squad” at Hazard Elementary School, which provides professional development and training to staff and students to promote technological proficiency in classrooms throughout the school; 2) Parkview Elementary School’s model program called “Impact Future Success” focuses on parent engagement, campus safety and demand for technology; 3) Panda Power Hour-Early Intervention Model at Peters Elementary School addresses the needs of at-risk students and supports the enrichment of high achieving students with targeted language development and literacy instruction; 4) The “Teacher Collaboration Fostering Critical Listening and Speaking Skills” model at Stanford Elementary School is a higher-functioning collaborative process for teacher instruction of the new state standards; 5) Sunnyside Elementary School’s targeted approach to improving school climate for students, staff, and parents increases the personal feeling of connectedness and supports student achievement.
