Meridian Middle School in Kent Public Schools District is in a suburban area with an increasingly diverse population and has recently become a Title 1 school – 60% of students are on free/reduced lunch, and ethnically, the diversity among the student body has increased significantly over the past five years. Like many schools, this, combined with the fact that there is a much higher migrant and special Ed population, has necessitated a change in the way teachers at Meridian approach their teaching practice in order to match the changing student needs. We hear from building-based Instructional Coach, Carrie Howell, as she takes us through the essential and unique work Class Measures has done with the school to support teachers and significantly move forwards the quality of instruction to address those changing student needs.
