Semple Elementary School was one of 16 schools and school districts recognized by the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) for its work with Professional Learning Communities (PLC) and Responsive Teaching.
“I’m proud of the hard work and forward thinking of Semple staff under the direction of our Academic Coach Brittany Veech. Because our teachers, through our PLCs, are able to share ideas and data, students are receiving the exact instruction they need to close learning gaps," Semple Principal Danielle Randle said.
KDE presented 16 awards for best practices to schools and school districts during the 2024 Continuous Improvement Summit in Lexington, Kentucky in late September.
KDE Associate Commissioner Kelly Foster presented each Best Practice winner with a $500 check for school improvements.
Awards were presented to schools and school districts from across the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
