At a news conference on Monday, she said a major focus is getting feedback quickly from teachers on what is and isn't working.

"When we see an opportunity for growth, or when we see a misstep that we're going back in to correct in the classroom, that next week, we're not waiting for the next group of students. We're not waiting for next year. But we are really working in lockstep school, central officers and families to make sure that our students are progressing," Yarbrough said.

Yarbrough did not share any speficics on how feedback will be increased, or how she'll work to improve grades.

She did say those details would come out in the coming weeks.
