EXTRA: Proactive and Effective High School Interventions

Apr 10, 2018

During this super special episode extra of Ed's (Not) Dead, we endeavor upon an excellent interview with the principal and assistant principal of Minnetonka High School; Mr. Jeffrey Erickson and Mr. Robb Virgin (respectively).

Jeffrey and Robb have developed an effective and proactive way to support students throughout the school year, known as "Minnetonka Academic Success Time" or "MAST." 

During our interview, we discuss what MAST is all about, what kind of results they have seen from their interventions, and how they have managed the systemic changes to their daily schedules to incorporate MAST (from a leadership perspective).

For more information, here are some links and resources:
