Local students return to classrooms during the next week, and three local school systems came together Wednesday to motivate their teachers for the upcoming school year.
Dothan City Schools, Henry County Schools, and Houston County Schools brought their staffs to the Dothan Civic Center for 2022 Wiregrass Institute. Superintendents and guest speakers thanked educators for what they do and gave them a few words of encouragement as they head back to classrooms.Along with the three system superintendents, educators heard from Alabama State Schools Superintendent Eric Mackey, Dothan Mayor Mark Saliba, and HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology President Neil Lamb.
“Your students will actually be on the front lines of the process of what it means to use the power of genomics and informatics to develop new varieties and all the other conversations that go along with that,” Lamb said. Mackey said the Wednesday event is the first he has attended for the coming school year, and this will be the first school year since 2019 that every school will have in-person instruction on the first day – one of several references made to the challenges faced by schools during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite delays for a K-12 strategic plan brought on by the pandemic, Mackey said measures like the Alabama Literacy Act and now the Alabama Numeracy Act have created resources to improve student academic achievement in the state. Over the next six years, he said there will be more resources like reading and math coaches as well as auxiliary teachers for the state’s neediest schools.Alabama has taken steps to help districts fill teaching vacancies and keep high-quality teachers, he said.
