How the Accelerated Schools Process has Led to School Improvement

"I always will believe that the successes we have had at Goodrich could be directly attributed to Accelerated Schools."

"After starting Powerful Learning on campus, our TAKS scores increased greatly from 2004 to 2005."

"Through Accelerated Schools teachers are more aware of students' individual needs-reading instruction has improved.  This is now the best campus in the district."

"Exciting things happened along Hardin's journey to becoming a demonstrated Accelerated School. Kids started enjoying school and learning. Parents noticed and became interested in participating in their child's education. Teachers fell in love with work again. And now Hardin Elementary has become a school which parents take pride in sending their students."

Don Fritsche, Principal, Hardin Elementary
Burkburnett ISD
