The Alpha Plus team was excited to celebrate Kari Kosanke’s return from running in the New York City Marathon on Sunday! Pictured third from left, Kari was one of 51,402 to finish the race. We are so proud of her!

Kari has completed four other marathons: Oklahoma City National Memorial, Marine Corps Marathon in Washington DC, the Boston Marathon, and the Tunnel Marathon in North Bend, Washington. For New York City, she went as part of a team from Norman called “Wahoo.” Kari says she was lucky to get the chance for this "amazing experience" as part of the largest marathon in the world in 2023.

Alpha Plus is proud of all our team members (many pictured here) for the excellent service they provide Alpha Plus Partner Schools statewide.

 Thirty-three schools make the Honor Roll based on the Oklahoma School Report Cards for 2022

OKLAHOMA CITY – The 2022 Alpha Plus Honor Roll is finally available with the addition of the 2022 Oklahoma School Report Cards scores and letter grades last week on a platform hosted by the State Department of Education at https://www.oklaschools.com.

Thirty-three schools that use the Alpha Plus Model of School Improvement received A or B grades compared to 26 on the honor roll in 2019 (the most recent state report cards available). All Alpha Plus Partner Schools getting “A” grades from the state either improved or maintained the grade over the last three school years. Some schools such as Balko, Bennington, Flower Mound and Geronimo have used Alpha Plus tools for more than five years; others such as Fargo-Gage, Morrison, and Roff have been trained in the model over the last couple of years.

We Use Data to Help Schools on the Way to an A!

Teachers and administrators can quickly and easily identify students who need more help learning the Oklahoma Academic Standards.

Alpha Plus pinpoints the SPECIFIC OAS objectives or "gaps" students have from previous years, then helps school teams address each objective throughout the year.

That is why Alpha Plus schools have OUTPERFORMED the state average every year of the A-F Report Cards.
