Dispelling the Myth: Dayton’s Bluff Achievement Plus Elementary School

Printer-friendly version

Five years ago, Dayton’s Bluff Achievement Plus Elementary School, in St. Paul, Minnesota, was widely acknowledged as the worst school in the city. Almost all the students are from low income homes and nine out of 10 students were not meeting state standards. But in 2005, almost eight out of 10 fifth-graders met state math standards. Presenters will describe the school redesign effort that aligned instruction to high standards and helped produce significant gains among all groups of students.

Presenters:
Andrew Collins, Principal, Dayton’s Bluff Elementary School, St. Paul, MN
Marilyn Wojtasiak, Design Coach, Dayton’s Bluff Elementary School, St. Paul, MN
