Tuscaloosa County School System issued the following announcement on Sept. 24.
It’s a day for celebration at Big Sandy Elementary School! BSE received a visit from Solution Tree, a national organization focused on improving learning for students and professional growth for teachers. Solution Tree presented Big Sandy with a flag, recognizing the school’s distinction as a Model Professional Learning Community at Work. Big Sandy is the first school in Alabama, and one of only about 200 schools nationwide, to earn this title. BSE was chosen based on its sustained success in raising student achievement, through the school’s successful implementation of the Professional Learning Communities at Work process. Professional Learning Communities are schools in which educators work to improve student learning through ongoing, job-embedded learning for the adults who serve those students. Congratulations to everyone who has worked so hard to make this happen!
