Southern Regional Education Board (SREB): Making Schools Work
SREB’s Making Schools Work school improvement process employs a distributed leadership approach to involve the whole school in identifying problems of practice that impact student engagement and achievement and developing plans to solve them.
With designs for elementary grades,* middle grades, high schools and technology centers, Making Schools Work empowers school teams to create improvement plans that address five focus areas:
- motivating students through engaging instruction
- aligning curricula with state readiness standards
- ensuring that students can explore careers and complete career pathways that align with their interests and aptitudes
- providing student supports that promote readiness
- creating and supporting cultures of continuous improvement
