Mammoth-San
Manuel Unified School district - San Manuel, Arizona
Interactive
Whiteboard Helps Students Improve Reading Skills
Overview:
Mammoth-San Manuel Unified School district has 1,350 students enrolled
in preschool through twelfth grade. The district consists of four
schools, San Manuel Junior/Senior High School, First Avenue Elementary,
Avenue B Elementary and Mammoth Elementary.
Challenge:
Sixth grade teacher Manuel Chavez wanted to find a way to help his
students improve their reading skills and get excited about reading. He
also needed to decrease the amount of time he spent with his back to
the class writing on a chalkboard and increase the amount of time he
spent teaching.
SMART
Solution:
Chavez decided to computerize his lessons and teach his classes using
one of the district’s recently purchased SMART Board
interactive whiteboards.
Result:
Students have gone from reading at an average rate of 89 words per
minute to reading at an average of 165 words per minute, and test
scores have improved significantly. Chavez also says he
doesn’t waste time writing lessons on a chalkboard during
class – it is now strictly bell-to-bell teaching during his
reading class.

Jennings School District - St. Louis, Missouri
At-Risk
Students Find Success
Overview:
Jennings School District is an at-risk district located in a low-income
area of St. Louis, Missouri. Seventy-seven percent of Jennings students
qualify for free and reduced-fee lunch programs, and many students come
to the district two or three years behind their grade level.
Challenge:
Jennings staff wanted to close the achievement gap. To achieve this
goal the district needed to find a way to provide their students with
access to technology that would help them implement an inquiry-based
approach to education.
SMART
Solution:
Administrators created a plan to reallocate funds and purchased
technology such as SMART Board interactive whiteboards. They also
provided teachers with technology training and put the technology in
core classrooms to ensure all students were exposed to this new
teaching style.
Result:
Jennings students have raised their test scores, but that’s
not all. Attendance levels and motivation levels are way up, and
behavior problems are way down. Since putting technology in the hands
of properly trained staff, Jennings has also noticed that teachers were
rejuvenated and excited to teach.
