Helping Students Succeed, No Matter the Odds
The Center for Comprehensive School Improvement is committed to driving student achievement, even in schools facing extraordinary challenges.
Through effective professional development and leadership training, assessment and progress monitoring, early childhood learning and college & career readiness, the Center for School Improvement partners with states and districts to help implement one of the four models for school improvement:
- The turnaround model, which includes replacing the principal and rehiring no more than 50 percent of the existing staff, implementing strategies to recruit and retain staff, adopting a new governance structure and increasing learning time.
- The transformation model, which includes replacing the principal and removing teachers who have been determined to be ineffective, instituting comprehensive instructional reform strategies, increasing learning time and creating community-oriented schools, and providing operational flexibility and sustained support.
- The restart model, which involves converting the school and reopening it under a charter management organization or an education management organization and enrolling any former student who wishes to attend.
- The school closure model, in which the Local Education Agency closes a school and enrolls the students who attended that school in other schools that are higher achieving.
