Background:
|
Last year, Alexandria City Public Schools decided to change our external school turnaround partner effective SY2016-2017. External partners are mandated and funded by the Virginia Department of Education as a part of the state’s accountability process for schools that have been denied accreditation. After a careful review of organizations with expertise in school turnaround, staff recommended that we pursue a partnership with the University of Virginia’s (UVA) Curry School of Education. UVA was selected based on their long history of educational excellence, specifically, in the research and training of school staff in literacy and mathematics instruction.
