Individual Reflection ~ Mankato Middle

School
Mankato Middle School is a suburban school with not as many challenges as other school districts
deal with due to budgets and demographics. Our school is a decent size and we are provided with
fair allocations. Our student/teacher ratio is ideal. Plus, our students and teachers will be provided
with new technology to help stay engaged and gain academic growth. We thought it was essential to
provide technology support as well as training to our staff. We also provided a number of support
staff (2 counselors, 1 social worker, librarian/gifted & talented, intervention specialists, tech support,
and strategic math/reading) for teachers to stay proactive with students social, emotional, and
academic needs. In light of closing the achievement gap, emphasis was placed on student centered
licensed personnel. We included personnel that would support our learners striving to meet
proficiency, as well as challenge our students who are achieving at a high level.
