Weleetka Elementary principal attends Alpha Plus Principal’s Academy

Weleetka Elementary School Principal, Courtney Hare, participated in the Alpha Plus 2019-20 Principal’s Academy held on Dec. 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 December meeting, instructional leaders used data from fall semester to plan for tutoring or other interventions for each student in spring semester.

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

Alpha Plus provides training, assessments and resources for schools statewide. Founded in 1990 by an Oklahoma teacher, Alpha Plus curriculum and teaching tools are aligned solely to Oklahoma Academic Standards. More information, including a full list of this year’s partner schools, is available at www.alphaplus.org.
