When every Tier works together, every student grows
At Edgecombe County Public Schools in North Carolina, every student grew from the beginning to the end of year. The seamless alignment of resources across Tiers gave teachers a common language, consistent instructional routines, and the right tools to meet every student where they were.
57%
of Edgecombe County Public School second graders were reading on grade level at mid-year—more than double the 23% who were on grade level as 1st graders the year before.
Because I have these instructional tools, my teaching career can be longer. I can stay in the classroom without burning out—it actually feels like teacher care.
