Overview

Tools for teachers, tools that work.

Knox Education develops customized teaching tools for dozens of schools and school districts. For more than 15 years we’ve published many of these tools in our books and videos.  Now we’ve made it easier to work with us by creating this interactive website, including access to the entire collection of materials and updated versions of documents.

Overview

The 2011 Results are in
Another great year of gains in our schools!

Here are the results for the schools Charlotte Knox worked with during the 2010-11 school year. 

Highlights include a whole district reaching an API of 801, another district gaining 54 points overall, and 13 schools climbing to over 800!

In addition, three of our schools were just listed on the 2011 eligible California Distinguished School list,–no small thing when the cut off was 832 for elementary schools this year.

We are so proud of the students, staff, and principals at all of these schools!  We are all coming to realize that closing the achievement gap for low income and minority students can become a predictable reality following the formula for success developed by Dennis Parker.

 

Also look for us at ACSA next week.  Dennis will be presenting a Strategic Schooling session Thursday morning.  Charlotte, Dennis and a stellar principal from Atwater, Ana Boyenga, will also be presenting an illustration of successful implementation during the Saturday session.

Charlotte is creating a new series featuring the 3 types of writing indicated in the new Common Core Standards for writing.  The first of the three will feature “argument/ opinion” writing which for the first time runs from kinder to 12th grade.  The resources will be uploaded to the site as they are developed.
