In Summer 2025, ARUSD finalized a Baseline Systems Study to analyze the systems influencing student outcomes and develop a teacher-driven action plan for improvement. In the 2025-2026 school year, teachers are developing their action plans to address the Baseline System Study results. This video provides an update from August 8th, when all ARUSD teachers attended their first professional development day in the 2025-2026 school year with a focus on implications through the lens of Special Education.
