Success and failure in school is, quite
literally, life and death for our students.
For students who fail in our educational
system, the reality is that there are
virtually no paths of opportunity.
The likely pathway for students who
struggle in school is an adult life of
Poverty
Poverty…
43 percent of people with the lowest
literacy skills live below the
government's official poverty line

Incarceration -Across the United States, 82%
of prison inmates are dropouts and 70% are
functionally illiterate who read at the fourth

More than 1 in 3 LD6 students will
fail to graduate with their class
Incarceration -85% of juvenile offenders
have reading problems.

What must we do to save the
system?
We must stop doing what we
have done for 100 years…
What do we prepare our kids for?
THIS
OR THIS ?
WHAT WE DO MATTERS!!!
Effective teachers and leaders are critically
important to the effort to raise achievement
and close longstanding gaps between groups.
Abundant research evidence now makes it
absolutely clear: Children who have three or
four strong teachers in a row will soar
academically regardless of their racial or
economic background, while those who have
a sequence of weak teachers in a row simply
fall further and further behind.

Our Dilemma:
Our traditional US

not designed to

• The fundamental purpose of school is to
ensure that all students learn at high levels
• To help all students we must work
collaboratively in a collect effort to meet the
needs of each student
• Educators must create a results orientation to
know if students are learning and to respond
to their needs
Four PLC Questions
• What exactly do we expect all students to
learn? (essential standards)
• How will we know if and when they have
learned it? (CFA’s, progress monitoring,
universal screens, work samples etc.)
• How will we respond when some students
don’t learn? (Pyramids of Interventions)
• How will we respond when some students
have already learned? (Pyramids of
Enrichment)
90-90-90 Schools

progress and multiple opportunities
for improvement
