Does It Work?

Darryl Williams' 2004-2005 Mean Percentile Gains:

Reading
21.3
Language
32.8

Speaker Notes: But ultimately this is about making great teachers. Here is what Darryl Williams, who's here today, has done with this tool. His kids, 100% of whom are FRPL eligible, passed a third of the kids in the country in a year. They are on their way to earning seats at harvard. Just as it should be.

Now Darryl has done this because he is a great teacher. But this tool helped him focus and leverage his skills. And the point is that results like Darryl's are a moral imperative. They are results that change the equation of opportunity for our kids. Who here can afford NOT to teach like Darryl?
