Woodland Elementary named an Alabama Science of Reading Spotlight School
Summary
The superintendent read a State Board of Education resolution recognizing Woodland Elementary as a 2024 Science of Reading Spotlight School and congratulated Dr. McCauley, staff and students for improved outcomes; 16 schools statewide received the designation.
At the Sept. 11 meeting, the superintendent read a state resolution commending schools designated as Alabama 2024 Science of Reading Spotlight Schools and specifically named Woodland Elementary School (Randolph County School System) as a recipient.
The resolution, as read aloud, cited the Alabama Reading Initiative and the Alabama Literacy Act's expectations around components of the Science of Reading, noting the schools recognized demonstrated student proficiency and sufficiency growth that exceeded the state average and committed to student-centered coaching and teacher professional learning (including Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling, "LETTERS"). The superintendent said he was "very proud of Dr. McCauley and the work that her team put in for the reading at that school," and praised students for the milestone.
The superintendent also noted that 16 schools in the state received this award in 2024. The board did not record further discussion or formal action specific to the recognition in the provided transcript segments.
