Who Ya Gonna Call? GAP BUSTERS!
Springs was recognized in the 2023 Credo Report as a "gap-busting" school network, one of 32 California Charter School networks closing the achievement gaps for students! At Springs, we built collaborative teams to identify high-yield practices, establish schoolwide initiatives around those practices, and support implementation through a mentoring and monitoring process. These initiatives address Tier 1-3 with strategies and resources for first best instruction and interventions. Attendees will learn about Springs’ journey to increase student achievement and leave with steps to start the process in their schools.
