Hats off to the Seattle Writer’s Workshop!

Hats off!

Teaching English Language Learning (ELL) students has long been a challenge in Washington schools as our population continues to expand and diversify. But thanks to a program developed by the Columbia University Teaching College and recently implemented in Seattle Public Schools, teaching ELL students to read and write English and accelerating their success, just got a little bit easier.


Parents in Federal Way are lucky.

Well, maybe luck isn't the right word. Fortunate might be better. I've sang her praises before, but after watching Trise Moore, family advocate for the Federal Way Family Partnership Office, in action, I walked away thinking how fortunate Federal Way parents are to have a great leader like Trise in their corner.


Roar

Tanya Gersimova admitted right up front to her mother that yes, her attendance at school needs some work.


“Onward” Consortium: Mary Walker, Columbia, Cusick, Curlew, Inchelium, Northport, Republic, Selkirk & Wellpinit School Districts

Nine small school districts in Northeastern Washington are working together to meet a common goal: prepare more students for postsecondary education without remediation.


Franklin Pierce School District

High school students in the Franklin Pierce School District are taking charge of their education and their future. As a part of the school district’s innovative guidance and planning model, students get the skills – and the support - they need to chart their own course through high school, postsecondary education and adult life.


Puyallup

The Puyallup School District is helping all students find ways to “get” the fundamental concepts of reading, writing and math through an extensive career and technical education program that weaves math, science and English into its courses, and allows students to apply their new skills in real-world ways.


Yakima

In Yakima – where more than 70 percent of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches, more than 50 percent of students are Hispanic and, for many, English is a second language – demographics bring unique challenges to boosting reading achievement levels.


Mountain View High School

What do we want kids to know? How will we know that they learned it? What do we do as a staff to help those students who don’t get it?


Granger High School

"Sí, se puede." Yes, it can be done.


Early Learning: Invest $1 and save $10

We've heard it time and time again. If we invest in early learning now, we'll save on societal costs later.
