The Friends of the Trotter School's first party
Thank you so much to everyone who attended our kickoff party for the Friends of the Trotter School. This new 501(c)3 organization will raise funds to support the Trotter—we're using money raised at our first event to fund a Journey of Learning, provide ongoing support to our musical performance program, start a uniform fund, and provide a modest award to a Trotter student or graduate in honor of Alma Wright, who has taught at the Trotter since it opened in 1969. We are so pleased with the turnout and the enthusiasm for this endeavor. To keep up with the Friends of the Trotter, please visit trotterfriends.org.
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.
