Dr. Tina Sartori: Proven Strategies to Increase Student Achievement
April 28, 2009
It is estimated that to teach the K-12 standards requires 16,000 hours of instructional time but in actuality, less than 11,000 of classroom instructional time exists. Although as a nation we have focused on high stakes testing to address this issue, there remains a significant gap between using the results of these assessments for assigning a score versus driving instruction. This webinar provides an overview of our Turn Up Achievement Model which offers schools a prescriptive systemic approach to closing this gap, drive instruction with data and increase student achievement.
Include is a summary of the Turn Up Achievement program as an approach to measurable increases in student achievement through research-based proven methods, the utilization of TurningPoint student response systems for frequent progress monitoring in order to promote data driven differentiated instruction, prescriptive professional development addressing both instructional and technical support, and the fostering of a learning community. Turn Up Achievement program is designed for scalability, self sufficiency and replicable expansion.
