  28. PITFALLS TO AVOID Prepared for NNSSIL by Center on Innovation & Improvement and Council of Chief State School Officers

  29. GUIDING QUESTIONS • What role do states need the comprehensive center network to play as they strive to help districts match intervention strategies with schools and communities? • What policies and procedures already in existence can be utilized to facilitate the selection and implementation process (e.g., state waiver provisions, charter statutes outlining performance contracting processes)? • What data can districts readily access to conduct a streamlined but effective selection intervention process? Prepared for NNSSIL by Center on Innovation & Improvement and Council of Chief State School Officers

  30. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE… “So, if a school is struggling, we have to work with the principal and the teachers to find a solution.  We’ve got to give them a chance to make meaningful improvements.  But if a school continues to fail its students year after year after year, if it doesn’t show signs of improvement, then there’s got to be a sense of accountability.  And that’s what happened in Rhode Island last week at a chronically troubled school, when just 7 percent of 11th graders passed state math tests — 7 percent.  When a school board wasn’t able to deliver change by other means, they voted to lay off the faculty and the staff.  As my Education Secretary, Arne Duncan, says, our kids get only one chance at an education, and we need to get it right.” Barack Obama, March 1, 2010 Prepared for NNSSIL by Center on Innovation & Improvement and Council of Chief State School Officers
