“Successful change programs begin with results” was the rallying call during a well-attended session on accelerated learning at the NABSE 2024 Conference in Atlanta, led by John J-H Kim, DMG Founder and CEO, and Dr. Mark Sullivan, Superintendent of Birmingham City Schools (BCS), Alabama.
John Kim and Dr. Sullivan shared an inspiring story of the transformation and success of BCS' third- and fourth-graders, who achieved exceptional post-pandemic gains in literacy and numeracy through the implementation of DMG’s Breakthrough Results (BTR) program.
In SY24, third-graders in BCS defied the odds and rose to a level of post-pandemic recovery rarely seen, with 81% scoring on or above grade level in reading on the 2024 state exam (Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program, or ACAP), a dramatic increase from 53% the prior year!
The district has also seen tremendous success in third and fourth-grade math using the BTR program.
