PEOPLE NOTES

Agra Elementary School Principal Dr. Anita Watkins, participated in the Alpha Plus 2019-20 Principal’s Academy held on March 12 in Oklahoma City.

The Principal’s Academy is part of the Oklahoma-based company’s continuous professional development for partner schools that want to improve students’ academic results. At the March meeting, principals developed strategic plans for all students and reviewed the Oklahoma Department of Education state testing report.

“By training principals in the Alpha Plus model, we are building sustainability for continued academic success,” Jan Barrick, Alpha Plus CEO said. “Our partner schools work efficiently and effectively in the classroom, and that shows in the results. That’s why Alpha Plus schools have outperformed the state school report card averages every year.”

“Alpha Plus math and reading programs have become an integral part of Agra’s strategies to improve the academic progress of our students,” Dr. Watkins said.

Alpha Plus curriculum is written by Oklahoma teachers, for Oklahoma teachers, to Oklahoma Academic Standards.
