Fred Williams, Principal at Susie Dasher Elementary School (K-1) in Dublin, Ga.
Last year (2006-07) was the first year for Classworks, and Principal Fred Williams' students responded, passing the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) at 92 percent in Reading/ English/Language Arts and Math. Mr. Williams spoke to Curriculum Advantage in January 2008.
"...we have made AYP for nine years straight and we're working very hard to make it 10 years in a row. Classworks is one thing that has really captured their attention, letting us really focus in on certain skills that they need."
