Alpha Plus Brings Better Grades for Students

"Emerson Elementary began using AlphaPlus during the 2015-2016 school year. Our reading and math scores had consistently been in the mid to low 60s on our A-F report with an overall grade of 66 in 2014-2015 and 73 in 2015-2016. After we began using the AlphaPlus  program, we saw tremendous gains in our reading and math scores. We are currently projecting our report card to be an 81 and attribute our gains to using the AlphaPlus program. The pacing calendars developed by AlphaPlus ensure that all objectives are taught and assessed before test time rolls around. The data provided by the formative and summative assessments helped us identify weaknesses and focus on those skills during our remediation time, and ultimately, our test prep time at the end of the year. Data became our friend and it should become yours as well! I highly recommend AlphaPlus for any school looking to increase student performance on the end of year exams." - Greg Davidson, Superintendent, Coalgate

"Alpha Plus develops their own curriculum and practice tests based on state standards, unlike most companies who use only general curriculum." Renee Dove, Principal, Okmulgee Elementary School

"After 30 years of teaching I didn’t think I could find a better way to use my assessment data. Alpha Plus methods have taught me so much this year." –Jeannie Struss, 4th grade teacher, Duncan

Oklahoma's Teacher of the Year

Excerpt from Oklahoma State Department of Education

BROKEN ARROW (Jan. 23, 2019) — Oklahoma’s 2018 Teacher of the Year is a step closer to claiming the profession’s highest honor. In a news conference this morning at Broken Arrow High School, Gov. Kevin Stitt and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Joy Hofmeister announced that Donna Gradel of Broken Arrow High School has been named one of four finalists for the National Teacher of the Year award.

“Donna’s teaching philosophy is that every student has potential no matter his or her start. Her heart captures perfectly the power of education itself – to see the best in a student and to cultivate that potential so the student can overcome all odds and become a job creator, a future U.S. president or city mayor, a community leader, a professional educator or a scientist,” Stitt said during the announcement.
