School Improvement
Supporting Rapid Change in Schools
As educators our challenge is to turn around and transform underperforming schools. Through the School Improvement Grant and Race to the Top, districts across the nation have a unique opportunity to access the funds necessary to implement dramatic improvements.
How CORE Can Help
CORE's expertise in reading, writing, mathematics, intervention, special education, assessment, English learners, and Response to Instruction can turn around and transform your district or school's academic performance quickly. Our detailed plans will:
- Build capacity of school and district administrators to manage and monitor instruction
- Facilitate literacy and math planning, communication, and coordination
- Identify specific implementation issues and plan for organization, resources, and support needs
- Help literacy and math leaders learn to analyze test data, facilitate on-site collaborative conversations, and develop solutions to implementation challenges
- Deepen the expertise of school leaders through focused implementation of instructional materials and assessment, as well as through visits to selected classrooms to observe instruction and practice coaching and feedback
- Improve teacher quality and knowledge through rigorous professional development in research-based practices designed to increase achievement
- Map your curriculum to the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and mathematics
