"During my first two years as principal, we had over 300 office referrals and 150 out-of-school suspensions. After fully implementing these strategies — only two office referrals in six weeks."
"29 of our 35 schools were trained, affecting more than 11,000 children. We experienced a 16% decrease in suspensions and a 9% increase in test scores. None of our schools are on the improvement list."
"Pioneer Continuation High School saw suspensions drop from 39% to 18%, in-house suspensions cut in half, and significant increases in state exit exam passing rates."
"Referral numbers for class disruption were reduced by 62% at our middle school. Our high school's referrals were lower than the rival school's for the very first time ever."
"Student referrals in our middle school dropped 30% on average every year for three years straight. Because of these strategies I can say with pride: Every day, I teach."
"Since my Differentiated Instruction training by the Center for Teacher Effectiveness, I incorporated Randomization, Storytelling, Concentric Circles, and Entry/Exit Tickets. These strategies work powerfully with adult learners too."
