OASa

Here are some Oklahoma leaders discussing their success using the Alpha Plus Success with OAS material and tools.


Mike Watkins, Principal, Jones Middle School, Jones:
"The key to this transition lies in the art of teaching. Using Success with OAS, we can dissect the standards with Alpha Plus guidance as to how each objective ought to be taught. Our teachers then adjust that to what works for their students. We are not interested in materials not alighed to the OAS. Nor do we want teachers spending time sifting through textbooks written for other states trying to find what works. Alpha Plus is already there."

HEEEEEY CANEY! We were pleased to present Success with OAS Awards to Mr. Brown, Ms. Carroll, Ms. Bennett and Ms. Bailey. These four educators were able to plan and cover all Oklahoma Academic Standards - even though the district is on a four-day school week schedule because they focused on the goal and made it so!

Ms. Carroll also earned recognition for being a Top Model Educator, and we also have to thank the Superintendent, Ms. Delay for helping us organize weekly staff meetings so we could all stay ahead of the curve. We're so proud of our A+ Schools, including our friends in Caney!
