Marshall County Schools 700 Jones Circle Lewisburg, Tennessee “Linking Learning to Life” |

Marshall County has three goals for improvement in the 2009-2010 school year. They are as follows: 1. We will gain consistency between schools in personnel, curriculum and resources. 2. We will optimize time on task for every student. 3. We will look at how we teach (strategies, teaching in the block, differentiated instruction, etc.) and organize our schools so that instruction improves; and there is time for systematic intervention. 4. We will use data to drive instruction.
Improvement to Instruction 1. Increased time on task; 2. Variety of strategies that challenge 21st Century students; and 3. Intervention and extension for all students. |

A+ CURRICULUM PLANNING GUIDES FOR ELEMENTARY |
|
A+ is an integrated software package that is being implemented in all Marshall County classrooms K-12 during the 2009 school year. Last spring the high school teachers chose which courses they would implement, and used those titles for credit recovery in the summer. The middle school teachers also chose their titles and used A+ for remediation, enabling students to progress to the next level this fall. This fall we plan to start the implementation of the elementary grades. |
