| Abstract: | Many schools are embracing improvement planning as a deliberate endeavor to enhance their educational practices and increase equitable access to high-quality learning for all students. Schools that are committed to continuous improvement and providing a high-quality education to their students are more likely to engage in comprehensive school improvement planning processes. One such example comes from Great Minnesota Schools (GMS), a nonprofit based in Minneapolis, which supports schools' proactive efforts to build on their existing strengths to reach new student performance and other goals through improvement planning. This analysis provides an overview of the Bellwether School Improvement Cohort Program (Cohort Program) and its work with schools supported by GMS. The authors present an overview of Bellwether's three-stage process, starting with a comprehensive school "health" assessment, moving to stakeholder engagement, and finally to program implementation and progress monitoring. The authors then preview lessons learned from case studies of two schools -- Global Academy (Global) and Prodeo Academy (Prodeo) -- that have participated in the Cohort Program. Overall, findings from accompanying case studies suggest that the Cohort Program has helped build the organizational capacity of these schools to improve student achievement. |
