Recreating Secondary Schools: Resource Allocation To Close the Achievement Gap

Typical patterns of resource use are often inconsistent with schools’ improvement priorities, especially closing the achievement gap. In this training, school leadership teams examine the resource allocation strategies of schools that created rigorous instructional programs with improved outcomes for all students.

Teams consider alternative ways to group students, assign staff, offer electives, and increase instructional time in core subjects. Leaders identify changes in practice that free up resources for improvement priorities and develop long range plans for making these changes.

Outcomes:

  • Research-based priorities for resource use
  • Three-year plan for shifting resources to support high school redesign
