Seven years ago, Livingston schools were among the lowest performing in the state of California. We will tell an enchanting tale about the school’s transformation from high poverty, low-performance status to high-performance status. It is a moving story built on replicable research-based practices. We will describe key strategies in recruiting the best teachers, providing ongoing staff development, and celebrating successes.
