The Essential Elements of High Performance

Printer-friendly version

Studies say high-performance schools “sound, walk, and talk alike.” What are the traits of high performers no matter what the levels, locations, or demographics? What do they do with data? How are new teachers treated? What’s different about relationships among stakeholders in high performers? How is technology used? Have feelings about academic goals and testing changed as a result of accountability reforms? Florida’s Council for Educational Change (CEC) shares lessons learned by conducting research using the National Center for Educational Accountability (NCEA) Best Practices model for high school and others CEC initiatives studying K-12 practices.
