Congratulations to the TELL Kentucky 2017 Winners' Circle Schools

 

Ten Kentucky public schools have been recognized for outstanding teaching and learning conditions. A winner is selected from each of the 7 Supreme Court regions of the state, with 3 ‘at large’ winners selected. The 10 Winners’ Circle schools represent a variety of grade levels and demographics. These Winners' Circle schools were recognized for their effective teaching and school leadership practices and will be shared as models of best practices across the state.

The Winners' Circle schools were selected based upon their 2017 Teaching, Empowering, Leading and Learning (TELL) Kentucky Survey results, school safety and student achievement scores.  A team of TELL Kentucky partners made the decision as to the selection of the Winners’ Circle honorees, with final determination based on schools in each region with the highest growth in three TELL Kentucky constructs closely correlated with teacher retention and student achievement: school leadership, managing student conduct, and community engagement.

During the Continuous Improvement Summit in Lexington, each school received a certificate and a 4’ x 6’ banner. Schools recognized as being in the Winner’s Circle of teaching and learning conditions are:

• Muhlenberg South Middle School, Muhlenberg County, Region 1
• Dawson Springs Junior/Senior High School, Dawson Springs, Region 1
• Estes Elementary School, Owensboro Independent, Region 2
