Results

Implementing the components of our Framework for Achieving Powerful Results, and with the support of Leadership Training and Executive Coaching by proven successful leaders, numerous schools and school systems have shown dramatic improvement in student learning. Following are a few examples:

Case Studies

Boston Public Schools – where this model was developed - has shown consistent improvement on almost all measures over the past 10 years. Boston Public Schools won this year’s Broad Prize for consistently and systematically increasing student achievement results and narrowing the achievement gap.

Chula Vista Elementary School District in Southern California – the largest elementary district in the nation – has dramatically surpassed AYP targets for five straight years.

Edmonton Public Schools, in Alberta, Canada, has improved their high school completion rate by more than 14%.

Elizabeth Public Schools, in New Jersey, has shown 18% - 20% growth in the number of Special Education and Limited English Proficient students meeting and/or exceeding standardized assessment targets.

Gilroy Unified School District, in the Bay Area of Central California, increased the proficiency of their LEP students by 21% in only one year, and continues to show dramatic improvement in multiple areas of student performance.

New Bedford Public Schools in Massachusetts engaged four schools in work with this model for a three-year period. The average gain for those schools was a 30% increase in the number of students scoring at proficient or above on the state test (MCAS).

Springfield Public Schools, the capital city of Illinois, has shown an increase by their African American and their low income students that triples the rate of improvement for other students at schools not involved in this model.

Temple University Partnership Schools - Provided monthly instructional leadership team and coaching training for teams in six schools of the Philadelphia Public School System managed by Temple University.
