Reeds Spring Primary School, Reeds Spring R-IV School District
Reeds Spring Primary School serves the district’s students in Pre-Kindergarten through First Grade and views each child as a future High School graduate. By looking through the lens of 21st century learning, they are able to focus on reaching all children as they move through the spectrum of social, emotional and academic growth. Reeds Spring Primary School has established a professional learning culture that is strongly embedded in their daily school lives. They have a collaboratively developed vision and mission which keeps the social, emotional, and academic success of all students at the forefront of their decisions.
This year’s 1:1 technology integration is a good example of how they use this strongly held belief system to guide decisions. Staff members wrestled with the question of “How much technology is enough?” through a series of discussions. The collaborative teams value discussion with varied opinions and know that important topics are worth professional, respectful disagreement. In the end they developed a plan that supported their belief that kindergarten and first grade children benefit from a wide spectrum of learning opportunities, including technology, but also including sensory tables, flashcards, books, math manipulatives, etc. This process allowed them to share their 1:1 technology plan with parents and families with confidence and the knowledge that they had made the decision as a professional learning community.
At Reeds’ Spring Primary School, teachers definitely share a collective responsibility in the success of their students.
