S5E5: From Screening to Systems Change with Anglophone School District West
About this episode
This episode discusses the transformation of instructional practices in Anglophone School District West, focusing on improving Tier 1 instruction through data and collaboration.
What happens when a district stops asking “Who needs intervention?” and starts asking “What needs to change in Tier 1 instruction?” In this episode, Kate welcomes Signe Williams, Sarah Carr, Shyanne McWilliams, and Tracy Davis from Anglophone School District West in New Brunswick to share the remarkable story of their work at Cuffman Street Elementary School. Together, they discuss how universal screening data, collaborative data teams, instructional coaching, and evidence-based literacy practices helped strengthen core classroom instruction and accelerate student growth. The conversation explores the power of a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS), the importance of focusing on foundational skills in Kindergarten and Grade 1, and how strong Tier 1 instruction can both lift students at risk and challenge those who are already thriving.
