Uplifting Educators to Accelerate Learning: How a Small District is Developing a Culture of Research, Collaboration, and Assessment for Student Outcomes

How can districts foster a culture of continuous improvement that accelerates student learning? In this session, Taft City School District shares their approach, which integrates research, collaboration, and assessment to uplift teacher practices and drive student success. By gathering authentic voices from both teachers and students, providing data-driven professional development, and pilot testing interventions, the district is committed to improving instructional outcomes.

Over the past two years, Taft City has engaged in an action research initiative focused on improving ELA performance on state and local assessments. This session will present statistical findings, lessons learned, and provide district leaders and classroom teachers with practical strategies to enhance their own continuous improvement efforts.
