As a result of Quitman forming a guiding coalition, the district now operates under a more streamlined and inclusive, collaborative environment.
-
For example, intervention times now allow students—or instructors from other grade levels or subjects—to visit other classrooms and ensure each learner receives strong, personalized feedback. “If I’m a teacher, I may have students from class A, B, and C in my room because I am best prepared to teach a particular strategy or concept to these kids,”
-
Quitman has also seen a 16 percent growth in enrollment, and staff turnover is down. Some positions, such as Kindergarten teacher, now see 50 or more quality applications.
-
Overall student achievement has also increased.
-
The district saw 100 percent growth on K−2 assessment in math and English/language arts in two years, and Quitman High School had the 12th-greatest overall growth on ACT Aspire among all high schools in Arkansas.
