Schools Pursuing Achievement, Results, and Knowledge.

We were so excited to welcome back our Cohort 1 High School S.P.A.R.K. Collaborative Teams for their first session of the year! Teams dove into unpacking the state wide accountability system data, reviewing ACT scores, and reflecting on instructional practices.

A special thank you to:
- Roe #21 staff and the S.P.A.R.K. Lead team for all the preparation and planning.
- Mrs. Rebecca Guest, Dean of Instruction, at Vienna High School for sharing valuable resources and her expertise.
- Dr. Bryan Williams with ACT Success for zooming in to showcase pertinent reports and how to navigate the platform.

What a great day of data analysis, collaboration, and resource sharing! 🙌
