With the new school year right around the corner, Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District officials are saying they are using lessons learned from last year, a tough one for the district.
Around February, Trani said the district started seeing absentee rates decline.
“It was much higher than we wanted it to be, as the rest of the school year went on,” he said. “But the upward trajectory on more kids coming to school more often was what we wanted and hoped to see as the risk of COVID went down.”Trani said they are now ready to bounce back for a new academic school year. This year, many of their goals will be focused on professional development for staff and academic achievement for students.
Trani said the district will be implementing Professional Learning Curriculum Mondays. Class times will be pushed back 45 minutes at the start of the week. During that first hour of the day, staff will work on professional development. Traditionally, Trani said, his team would have a few days of professional development at the start of the year and several others scattered throughout the year. This new PLC model will allow for his team to have consistent training.
“We just think it’s going to be a gamechanger as far as academic achievement for students,” Trani said. “... We really hope that we are going to see marked change in achievement.”“We have gone from a production rate of four — scores of threes, fours, and fives — per 100 kids to over nine in the last two years,” Trani said. “So incredible growth, and we’re going to try and keep that pace up this year.
