Tuesday night at the Clinton Board of Education, district building leaders discussed with the Board what they are doing to make sure they are reaching every student in their building.

Learning in the 21st-century world has changed a great deal and educators are being trained to recognize what moves the needle for each student. Principal of Lincoln and Douglas Schools, Beth Wickenhauser says the challenge they face is how do they recognize that in their students and how do they reach them where they are.

The word of the year at Clinton Elementary School is "relationships". Principal Sasha Young, who will be a guest on the WHOW Morning Wednesday morning, says they have seen great results by intentionally seeking relationships with their students.

A team was put together to explore goals for restorative practices and first-year assistant principal at Clinton Junior High School, Jim Peck explains their team worked on setting an example of how to communicate and set a culture. 

The Clinton High School automotive class was able to showcase their restored Chevy Grand Prix and Principal Jerry Wayne says while its great they are giving their kids the opportunity to find skills they may not have known they had, he feels there remain larger challenges that need to be addressed to fully tap into the potential of their youth.
