In the Tigard - Tualatin School District (TTSD), it's about «
never giving up; nothing matters as much as teaching every child to
read at
grade level,» said former district superintendent Rob Saxton, newly appointed in September 2012 as Oregon's first Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction.1 TTSD's mission to educate every child is operationalized through a collective commitment to focused work; continuous improvement and refinement in instructional practice
on a district - wide basis; and a pervasive attitude
on the part of district and school personnel to ensure that all students leave TTSD able to be highly successful adults.
When a TPS is failing, the union whine usually goes like this, «Our high school grads are
reading on a third
grade level because schools are underfunded, or because the students come from poor families, or English isn't their first language, or...» (
Never explained is how charters usually get better results than TPS and do it with considerably less money.)
