Education is the heartbeat of society.
Ensuring learning progress despite disruptions to learning has been no easy feat since the pandemic began. However, at Erwin Middle School leaders worked together to decrease student absences by over 40% and decrease the number of F’s and incomplete assignments by 51%. Today, Principal Dr. Angela Bush joins Janet to share how her team continues to close the academic achievement gap and move students forward.
This episode answers questions such as:
- How can we tackle student learning gaps?
- What measures are most important for ensuring post-secondary readiness?
- Why are school leaders, teachers, resource officers, guidance counselors and parents all needed to close the academic achievement gap?

SE | IMPROVEMENT CYCLES TO SUSTAIN PROGRESS
As leaders make difficult decisions to create the best possible conditions for learning during constant change and disruption, we also face another emerging challenge. There is growing fear among the public that students may be experiencing irreparable learning loss.
SE | MOVE STUDENTS FORWARD WITH A FOCUS ON STRENGTHS
WIt’s our mission as educators to keep students engaged and accelerate learning. We strive to create the best learning environments for student success. We want to help low performers excel and progress. It’s time to pause and ask ourselves, what are we really doing to focus on progress? And how do we help teachers have the right mindset to drive the work?
