Whitman Elementary - Tulsa Public Schools

Core Goal: Student Achievement
‣ Approximately 200 teachers attended summer PD as TPS began to write curriculum maps in
reading, English, mathematics, social studies and science. The writing process continues in 2011-
12. This is a major step as we move toward Common Core State Standards by 2014.
‣ Staff Development Teacher Project currently begins with 39 teachers serving in that capacity for
2011-12. We expect to hire all 70 SDTs by 2012-13.
