Challenge
Whether a school has been identified as “underperforming” or not is irrelevant, schools must embrace change and growth if they are to meet the challenges of today’s world. Education delivery, accountability, and mandated standards are impacting educators at all levels – from K-12 to University systems – including requirements for meeting federal and state reporting requirements, assessing instructional effectiveness, and evaluating state and district-level initiatives.
