Abstract | During workshops held in March and April of 2005, Michigan educators got a lesson in how to benchmark their work against promising practices in higher-performing schools with similar socioeconomic profiles. Teams of teachers, educational supervisors, and principals from 13 elementary and middle schools that had been struggling to make adequate yearly progress under the federal No Child Left Behind Act were in attendance. Using Standard & Poor's School Evaluation Services' customized data analysis, they completed a self-assessment and identified schools that have higher performance on state tests, despite serving similar student populations. Participating schools are now partnering with one or more of the higher-performing sites to identify promising practices--in curriculum, instruction, assessment, and other areas--that are worth adapting or replicating. School improvement teams will attend a follow-up workshop to document their study's findings and submit their plans to carry out the practices that have emerged. (ERIC). |
