Last spring we released a
video on how the public school system in Montgomery County, Md., raised student acheivement by implementing a comprehensive strategy that reached from the pre-K years on up through the third grade. Now there's another video in this genre titled
“A New Beginning for American Education.” It's worth checking out.
"A New Beginning" makes a case for PreK-3rd alignment by providing compelling images of the work that is being done by the young students of South Shore School in Seattle. South Shore, an elementary school led by principal Sherrie Encarnacion, is creating an aligned, integrated curriculum to keep students engaged and prevent the benefits of attending high-quality Pre-K from fading out in the elementary years. Early data, according to the video, shows that South Shore students are making more gains in reading and math -- especially math -- than students of similar demographics elsewhere.
