MOSAICA EDUCATION CELEBRATES EARLY SUCCESS IN THE TURNAROUND OF THE MUSKEGON HEIGHTS PUBLIC SCHOOL ACADEMY SYSTEM            

Today, results look even better. At Edgewood Elementary Academy, students outperformed their peers at five surrounding schools on the 2013 Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP).The percentage of Edgewood Elementary Academy students showing improvement on the MEAP Reading and Math assessments increased 33% in student growth, when compared to the percentage of students showing improvement on the 2012 MEAP assessment.

Performance Series Testing is also promising. The average total growth from Fall 2012 to Winter 2014 at Edgwood Elementary Academy, under the leadership of Principal Hurt, is: 155% for Reading and 169% for Math.

After visiting Muskegon Heights in the month of April 2014  as part of a professional development program, Barute Kafele, internationally-recognized education speaker and consultant, commented on Facebook, “I can’t overstate the significance of a STRONG principal. I just left Edgewood Elementary in Muskegon Heights, MI under the leadership of their new principal . . . .  The instruction that I witnessed was phenomenal! It is no wonder then that the gains made on their state standardized assessments in one year were so extraordinary. That’s what happens when you have strong leaders in place."

C & C Consulting and Education has a mission to assist educators in their efforts to build a greater capacity at the school and district level.  Equipping educators with the necessary tools that will help improve student performance and prepare students to compete in this global society is our focus and the foundation of our work.

In terms of academic results, the turnaround has been just as pronounced.  Initial testing in 2012-13 showed that 92% of students were more than two grade levels behind in Reading. Math scores were similar, with the average student having achieved less than six months’ academic growth for each year they had been in school.  By the end of the 2012-2013 school year, results had improved to the point where the average student had stopped falling behind. At that time, the average growth rate was more than one year—more than double the historic average.
