In addition, the report identifies outcomes of the first national meeting, Integrating English Language Learners in High School Reform, and provides recommendations for action by state education agencies to enhance school and district efforts in implementing school improvement. Project Background In 1995, the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) launched the High-Poverty Schools Initiative. It focuses on building the capacity of state education agency officials and their local partners to implement various federal education programs aimed at improving outcomes for students in high-poverty schools. The overall initiative goal is to strengthen state leadership by ensuring that students in high-poverty schools gain the knowledge and skills necessary for sustained success through the effective implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act and other federal and state programs. State education agencies are responsible for helping build local capacity to implement the requirements of these laws. To meet these requirements, state agency officials need to be equipped with essential knowledge and skills to work with high-poverty districts and schools. The High- Poverty Schools Initiative has several program activities that are sustained through national meetings, issues-specific networks, brokering technical assistance, and publications, all of which are designed to assist state and local educators working on a range of school reform efforts. The High-Poverty Schools Initiative consists of several projects: Extended Learning and Development Opportunities, English Language Learners, Secondary/Middle School Reform, Special Education, and the State Support Team Network. The Immigrant Students and Secondary Schools Reform Project, funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, is one of the English Language Learners and Secondary/Middle School Reform projects. Its objective is to strengthen the capacity of state education agencies and districts to improve delivery of educational services to English language learners (ELLs) enrolled in high schools undergoing reform. To achieve this objective, CCSSO has undertaken the following tasks: • Developed and administered a survey of states and school districts that are supported by the Carnegie Corporation’s Schools for a New Society (SNS) Initiative. The survey elicited information regarding state policies and practices focused on general high school reform and services provided to high school Limited English Proficient (LEP)

  • Cristo Rey Boston High School Case Study Jeff Thielman Cristo Rey Boston High School, Massachusetts
    School Turnaround 115 School Turnaround: Cristo Rey Boston High School Case Study Jeff Thielman Cristo Rey Boston High School, Massachusetts The mandates of the federal No Child Left Behind Law, including the threat of clos- ing a school for underperformance, have led to multiple public school turnaround attempts. Because turnaround is a relatively new area of focus in education, there is limited research on what does and does not work, and even the definition of turnaround is a work in progress. The research that is available is almost exclu- sively from the public school sector. This article gives some history and context for school turnarounds currently taking place in the United States and describes the turnaround of a Catholic, inner-city high school in the Archdiocese of Boston. The school, Cristo Rey Boston High School—formerly North Cambridge Catholic High School—has a history spanning nearly 100 years. Unlike a public school, North Cambridge Catholic High School was not subject to closure or takeover for consis- tently poor student performance on standardized tests. Instead, the principal and his faculty were driven by their own desire to improve the quality of education they were offering their students. risto Rey Boston High School (formerly North Cambridge Catholic High School) is an example of a self-directed school turnaround in which a principal and a core group of dedicated teachers had the au- Ctonomy and flexibility needed to strengthen the curriculum, change the school schedule, improve instructional practices, and address staffing issues. Their efforts dramatically improved student outcomes and created a new culture for teaching and learning.

PUB DATE Oct 87 NOTE 278p. PUB TYPE Reports - Descriptive (141) MRS PRICE MF01/PC12 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Decentralization; Elementary Secondary Education; *Institutional Autonomy; *Participative Decision Making; *School Based Management; School Organization; Teacher Influence; *Teacher Participation IDENTIFIERS *Dade County Public Schools FL ABSTRACT The Dade County (Florida) Public School system has had various types of school-based management (SBM) procedures in operation since 1974. During the 1985-86 school year, a committee of principals and other administrators reviewed the concepts of SBM from a different viewpoint, using various materials that addressed the professionalization of education and of teaching. The pilot project developed by this committee was approved by the Dade County School Board in July 1986. This report contains documents and materials related to the pilot project now in progress. Included are a summary and principles of SBM and shared decision making (SDM); requests for proposals to schools that wish to participate; a discussion of budget procedures under the school-based system; outlines of a documentation process and an evaluation plan; and other practical documents that can be used by school systems in their efforts to implement an SBM/SDM system.

  • Job Posting: Principal
    Posted February 2018 Job Posting: Principal Selected candidate will begin work on July 1, 2018. The Institution Founded by the Jesuits in 1996, Cristo Rey Jesuit High School provides a Catholic, college preparatory education and professional work experience to students from Spanish-speaking families across the southwest side of Chicago who, because of limited financial means, would otherwise be unable to afford it. To make the school both affordable and sustainable, Cristo Rey pioneered the Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) model for inner-city education that has inspired a national network of 32 schools serving low-income communities across the country. The CWSP enables all students to earn a majority of their annual tuition by working one school day a week in an entry-level position for a corporation in the Chicago area. While initially serving principally to pay the operational costs of the school, the CWSP has evolved into a progressive means of providing students with valuable work experience, while simultaneously empowering them to take an active part in financing a major portion of their own education. Now in its twenty-second year, Cristo Rey Jesuit High School remains committed to serving families from limited financial means who seek out a Jesuit, Catholic and college preparatory education for their children. The school, which opened its doors with only 70 students, now has an enrollment of 570 students earning $4.5M through the CWSP, nearly 2000 graduates, and since 2012, is consistently ranked as one of "America's Most Challenging High Schools" by the Washington Post. Jesuit Schools Network and Cristo Rey Network Cristo Rey is sponsored by the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), the largest religious order in the Roman Catholic Church, and is well-known in the United States with over 50 high school and 28 colleges and universities.
