Denise Crutchfield, right, a math facilitator for elementary schools in Rogers Public School District, speaks with co-workers about her experiences and ideas Friday at the district’s administration building in Rogers. The group meets once a week to discuss how to coach teachers in the district better in order to help their students learn more effectively as well as update curriculum based on Common Core, a new educational standard within the district.
Academic facilitators at local schools are like coaches of sports teams.
