Name: Mike Brewer

Position: Principal

School: Broken Arrow Elementary School

City: Shawnee, KS

Principal Mike Brewer of Broken Arrow Elementary School has been an educator for the past 28 years, having served as middle school teacher, principal, assistant superintendent, and superintendent. “As a principal, I set high expectations for my staff and my students. My staff and I work hard to make sure our students meet their growth targets and are reading above grade level by third grade,” said Brewer. To help meet those targets, Brewer is developing a collaborative PLC culture at his school. Teachers are developing common formative assessments to help inform their instruction. With the support of Naiku, his teachers now have the necessary tools and results to make adjustments to their instruction.
