What Grade Class @ Killeen Elementary did the KISD Superintendent visit? I'm interested from an aspect of KISD school model/structure - Middle School vs. Jr. HS. If the composition was of Grade 5 students, I saw the initial emergence of "maturity" from pubescence to adolescence. Perhaps a key progressive developmental stage that the KISD Middle School adopted model fails to capture? Adopting a Jr. HS model allows one year further maturity development in an elementary environment, rather being thrust into a Middle School environment (Grade 6 -8) where they're "lowest" on the totem pole - following that ordeal; in transition to HS, they're again "lowest" on the totem pole - another unnecessary, inherently disruptive, self-defeating and avoidable KISD structure/model outcome.
In a heartfelt discussion, Killeen ISD Superintendent Dr. Jo Ann Fey sat down with a group of fourth and fifth graders from Killeen Elementary, exploring their ideas, concerns, and hopes for their school. These young minds shared a wide range of ideas, from more playtime and favorite foods in the cafeteria to field trips and hands-on learning. When Dr. Fey asked each what they’d do as “superintendent for a day,” the responses were both insightful and bold—like a fifth-grader's brilliant suggestion for food trucks on Fridays! This vibrant exchange showcased the students' passion not only for academics like math and science but also for creating a positive, respectful environment in their classrooms. Listening to students’ thoughts about their school experience is essential to ensuring our educational spaces foster both growth and joy. Dr. Fey’s commitment to elevating student voices reminds us all that education is about creating a foundation that’s both engaging and empowering, preparing these young leaders to reach for the stars. Let’s continue to value student perspectives and make their school days inspiring, impactful, and yes, especially fun! 🎉 #WeAreKISD #StudentVoice #FutureLeaders #KilleenISD #KISDP1

The Learning to Lead in Math project, funded by a $4.3 million award from the U.S. Department of Education, will work with principals and teachers at K-8 schools in Cook County to create a #teaching culture that supports professional development and collaboration on math instruction. They will focus on increasing support for teacher learning, deepening #collaboration within teacher teams and improving student performance in #math, which has fallen nationwide since the COVID-19 pandemic. https://lnkd.in/gfdeuTY8 Alison Castro Superfine Benjamin Superfine Shelby Cosner

REAP’s in-school curriculum is challenging the norm. We’re proud to see REAP's real-life impact highlighted in OPB’s article covering our Black Studies class at David Douglas High School! Our own Program Curriculum Specialist Abdiel Morales co-teaches with a faculty member, making REAP’s mission of culturally responsive education a reality. While the percentage of ethnically diverse teachers in Oregon K-12 schools remains around 15%, minority students are nearly half the population. REAP is bridging the gap in curriculum and giving these students a seat at the table when it comes to their education.
