Education Northwest Service Spotlight

Schools that need to improve rapidly, including those facing NCLB corrective action or restructuring, benefit from an objective and comprehensive review as a first step to turnaround. Using the What Works Clearinghouse's research-based framework on turnaround schools, Education Northwest's team of experienced educators will work on-site with school leaders to develop tailored, strategic, high-impact recommendations for change.

As a basis for its recommendations, the team analyzes achievement, attendance, and demographic data; conducts interviews and focus groups with school and district staff, parents, and students; and observes classrooms. The final report covers curriculum, assessment, instruction, school environment, professional development, and leadership. The report highlights the school's strengths and identifies areas that are impeding students' academic growth. The School Turnaround Review may be tailored to state and/or district initiatives.

To discuss how a school turnaround review can benefit your school or district, e-mail Deborah Davis or call her at 800.547.6339, ext. 644.
