Principals and teachers from across Alabama gathered at Sophia P. Kingston on Nov. 3 to observe reading instruction that had gained SPK the title of a Science of Reading Spotlight School.
During the visit, educators observed classrooms, sat in on a roundtable discussion and provided feedback on their notices.
Frederick Hardy, principal at Southside Primary, said the meeting was very informative and plans on implementing some of the strategies at his school.
SPK Principal Tamara Nelson got some surprising news during the meeting as well. Dr. Ozella Ford announced that Sophia P. Kingston was no longer a full-support school and had the second highest second and third grade reading scores in the system. SPK faculty and staff plan to celebrate this high accomplishment with a parade around the community.
Principal Nelson stated they are committed to student success at Kingston.
