Commitment to Professional Learning Boosts Achievement

Shelby County Schools built a strong data culture with the implementation of i-Ready Assessment and i-Ready Personalized Instruction that led to substantial student learning growth. For the 2021–2022 school year, the district participated in 25 professional learning sessions, which supported measurable student outcomes. At the Linda Nolen Learning Center, some students demonstrated 200 percent Typical Growth from fall to winter, well surpassing the expected yearlong growth goal of 100 percent in just half a school year.
