Earlier in April, the 2016 California Gold Ribbon Schools were announced, recognizing 772 elementary schools in California “that have made gains in implementing the academic content and performance standards adopted by the State Board of Education.”
The Cotsen Foundation for the ART of TEACHING congratulates all recipients, and would like to recognize the schools that have participated in the ART of TEACHING program that are among those honored.
