Brown County Education Initiative
 |
 |
Brown County K-12 Schools – St. Mary School, Brown County Elementary School, Brown County Middle School, and Brown County High School - are in the second year of a five-year education initiative. To guide this work, the schools have partnered with Focus on Results, a consulting firm that helps school districts make measurable, lasting improvements in student performance, school leadership and decision-making, and professional development. The Tracy Family Foundation is providing funding for this education initiative.
In Brown County Schools, seven areas of focus have been identified:
- Identify and implement a school-wide instructional focus
- Develop professional collaboration teams to improve teaching and learning
- Identify, learn, and use effective research-based teaching practices
- Create a targeted professional development plan with emphasis in selected best practices
- Realign the district’s resources to support the instructional focus
- Engage families and the community in supporting the instructional focus
- Develop interim testing measures to check student progress throughout the year
