  8. Turnaround Model Overview • Teachers and Leaders • Replace principal (unless principal has been replaced within last two • years) • Use locally adopted “turnaround” competencies to review and select staff for school (rehire no more than 50% of existing staff) • Implement strategies to recruit, place and retain staff • Instructional and Support Strategies • Select and implement an instructional model based on student needs • Provide job-embedded professional development designed to build • capacity and support staff • Ensure continuous use of data to inform and differentiate instruction • Time and Support • Provide increased learning time • Staff and students • Social – emotional and community oriented services and supports • Governance • New governance structure • Grant operating flexibility to school leader 8

  10. Restart Model Overview • Restart model is one in which an LEA converts a school or closes and reopens a school under a charter school operator, a charter management organization (CMO), or an education management organization (EMO) that has been selected through a rigorous review process. • A restart model must enroll, within the grades it serves, any former student who wishes to attend the school. • A rigorous review process could take such things into consideration as an applicant’s team, track record, instructional program, model’s theory of action, sustainability. • As part of this model, a State must review the process the LEA will use/has used to select the partner. 10

  11. Closure Model Overview • School closure occurs when an LEA closes a school and enrolls the students who attended that school in other schools in the LEA that are higher achieving. • These other schools should be within reasonable proximity to the closed school and may include, but are not limited to, charter schools or new schools for which achievement data are not yet available. • * Source: TEA – Division of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB). 11
