Welcome back to school!The Trotter family has enjoyed a wonderful opening to a new school year. Our students came back refreshed and ready to learn, and were lucky enough to be greeted by Commissioner Evans and other members of the Boston Police Department. He, along with our wonderful teachers and principal, Mrs. Nolan, welcomed our students back to begin what will be a very successful first year as a K-8 school!
2014 School on the move winner
The William Monroe Trotter Innovation School is Edvestor's 2014 School on the Move Winner! The School on the Move Prize is awarded annually to one of Boston's most improving schools to recognize their progress. Other finalists included Orchard Gardens and the Hurley School. The prize is $100,000.
Key strategies for improvement included: highly collaborative school culture ensuring teachers and administrators hold one another accountable to high standards, use of data to plan, implement and monitor supports for students struggling academically or socio-academically, and a commitment to family engagement that has led to parents playing a more visible and active role at the school.
