Keokuk media coordinator, 3 schools earn national recognition
for the daily gate city
MADISON, Wisc. - For multiple years in a row, a local librarian has received recognition for outstanding support of reading education, Renaissance Learning has announced.
Donna Tracy, K-8 media coordinator in the Keokuk School District, was awarded Reading Renaissance Model Library Recertification by the Madison, Wis., based company, for three Keokuk elementary schools: George Washington, Wells-Carey and Hawthorne.
Model Library certification indicates that Tracy's efforts to adopt Reading Renaissance methods have continued to result in measurable increases in student reading performance.
“Donna's continuing commitment to reading and reading practice translates into success for every child,” said Judi Paul, co-chairman of the Board at Renaissance Learning.
To receive Reading Renaissance Model Library certification, librarians must document that their practices encourage student access to a wide variety of books, as well as supporting reading practice and self-directed learning. In addition, the librarian must be actively working with individual students to meet Renaissance-recommended standards for reading achievement.
In addition to national recognition, George Washington Elementary School, Hawthorne Elementary School and Wells-Carey Elementary School will receive certificates in recognition of Tracy's achievement.
Renaissance Learning, Inc., is a leading provider of school improvement programs, through research-based software products, teacher training and consulting. The company's software products, called learning information systems, give students and teachers continuous constructive feedback that helps motivate students, dramatically accelerate learning, improve test scores and help students master all standards, while reducing teacher paperwork.
Adopted by nearly 62,000 schools, these software products are among the most popular in schools nationwide, including Accelerated Reader, Accelerated Math, STAR Reading, STAR Math, STAR Early Literacy, Accelerated Grammar and others. The company's Renaissance comprehensive school improvement process has been adopted by school districts across the country, and more than 300,000 pre-K-12 educators have received Renaissance training.
Renaissance Learning also provides electronic assessment products and services to educational publishers, and sells enterprise software for training and knowledge management. The company has six U.S. locations and subsidiaries in Australia, Canada, India and the United Kingdom.
