WIN TIME BEING INCORPORATED IN EVERY WBR SCHOOL THIS YEAR

Every student in West Baton Rouge schools will have a new 20-30 minute period daily of individualized instruction or enrichment beginning this school year.

WIN Time stands for “What I Need,” and will be based on assessments of each student by a team of educators at the schools. “The program was piloted at Lukeville Elementary School last year, and it proved very successful in elevating the students’ academic performance,” said Megan Southall, Supervisor of Assessment and Accountability. “It is a team-driven mentality including not just the core subject teachers,” she explained. “Everyone is on board and has input on what each student needs. It is data-driven, personnel informed, and individual student need informed. The time could be allocated to intervention in a particular subject with small group teaching, which feels like one-on-one teaching; it could be club or activity oriented, or it could be enrichment oriented for students that are excelling. It is a very pro-active approach to doing everything we can to help advance our students.”

Also, once a week students get grade appropriate social/emotional learning. With WIN Time, students get extra support without extra time outside of school hours because it is embedded into their school day schedules. “We expect this program to help all our students both in test scores, and also in their overall school experience,” Southall said.
