We
do not offer a pre-packaged, one-size-fits-all approach to improve
districts and schools. Instead, we attempt further develop leaders to
guide and to nudge districts and schools as they meet the challenges
of implementing standards-based instruction and improving teaching
so that all students learn to high levels. Our assistance to our partner districts has contributed to results. Instructional leadership is stronger and student achievement has increased from the classroom to the district offices. Two of our partners, Long Beach Unified School District and Norfolk Public Schools, have been recognized by the Broad Foundation as the outstanding urban school district of the year for raising student achievement and closing the achievement gap. Independent studies by the Busara Group of our standards-based curriculum units (see below) in a Michigan district show rapid and significant growth in student achievement by aligning district-school-teacher instructional leadership. Some examples of our
collaboration with districts and schools include the following:
