Describe the Success Story:

I was involved with getting the Accelerated Reader up and running for Vic. A. Pitre.  I took a direct hand on approach to figuring out the application.  This application is no longer supported by the Jefferson Parish School System but our Principal believes that this program is great for the teachers, students and parents.  I sulfured through this program, learning all of its management properties and document them for others could easily navigate the system.  I  then took my mentor teacher and taught her the system with a one on one sectional approach.  During that week, the mentor Mrs. Roberts retrieved all of the names and classes that were required to update the system.  Once receiving these items along with my training on managing the Accelerated Reader System Mrs. Roberts then took charge of the system updating each student and class profiles.  Mrs. Roberts impressed me with her knowledge of most of the students that where to be updated into the system.  The Accelerated Reader program has been running excellent ever since our dedication to student excellence.
