In this session, Riverwood Middle School leaders will share how they built a culture of "Excellence in All Ways" to make positive changes both academically and culturally to move out of low performing status. From implementing positive behavior interventions to address misbehaviors, to creating a comprehensive mission and vision for the school that focuses on providing a conducive, quality learning environment for ALL students, to addressing staff shortages and providing quality professional development and PLC structures for staff, RMS improved by 5% in overall EOG performance composite, increased the final SPG from a 51/D to 58/C, increased EL progress by 36% and decreased discipline referrals by over 30% in a single school year. The entire Raven Family continues to embrace the theme of "Excellence in All Ways", which can also be seen throughout the school building as a daily reminder to students and staff to demonstrate excellence in all ways in everything! Join us for this informative session about how you can build a culture of excellence for your school community to reach new heights in school performance. Presenters: Monica Sawyer, Jill Boudreau
