Is your district struggling with student performance and engagement? Independence School District in Missouri was once in that position and turned itself into a national model for student success. District CTE Director Aaron Smith tells the district’s turnaround story of community support and a career academies model that upped the ante on student value, and in the process grew their graduation and student achievement rate by one of the largest margins in state history. But it wasn’t always a smooth ride. Hear the struggles, the successes, and how you can create similar changes in your district.
