Manzanita Elementary School, part of Washington Elementary School District is making strides with their new “Bump It Up to Proficiency” strategy, thanks to guidance from Dr. Doran Gresham. As an instructional coach with SPN and the National Dropout Prevention Center, Dr. Gresham has been working closely with Manzanita’s teachers, sharing practical, hands-on approaches to manage classroom behavior, strengthen student connections, and create a positive learning environment. Teachers are already seeing the impact! #StudentSuccess #NDPC #WESDFamily
