Hi Betty,
Providing ”multiple tiers of instruction and intervention” was a big priority mentioned in WCUS’s annual report.
Eliminating achievement gaps is tough, especially when you need to meet the needs of a diverse learning population.
We’re helping school districts in the Pacific Northwest eliminate student inequity and achievement gaps to increase student readiness and graduation rates.

Hi Betty,
Saw WCUS’s goal to increase graduation rates by 6.5% this year.
A lot of schools we talk to are prioritizing unfinished learning right now, but feel like their assessments are too slow to catch issues in time.
Seattle used our help last year to lift graduation rates by 7.8%. Just by tightening how they use data to catch gaps earlier.
Would it make sense to connect for a quick chat?
