Keeping the Promise
PSI is now in its second year
of collaboration in Keeping the Promise
(KTP), a three-year U.S. Department of Education grant awarded to the
Massachusetts Charter Public School Association (MCPSA). Last year, we worked with five of the highest
performing public charter schools in Massachusetts that serve high need, low
income populations -- Boston
Collegiate, Community Day, Academy of the Pacific Rim, MATCH, and Roxbury
Preparatory* -- to assist them in identifying what makes them successful so
they can serve as national models for dissemination and replication.
In the current phase of the
project, we are coordinating and helping to facilitate Study Tours of one or
more of these five schools for other public charter and district schools that are serving
high need communities. Each full day
Study Tour will enable 3-5 educators from a participating school to engage in
classroom observations, an interactive workshop, action planning, and collaborative dialogue in order to strategically
evolve one aspect of their Whole School Improvement Plan. Click here to download an informational flyer.
Study

Three of the five schools identified as high performing for Keeping the Promise are also PSI Model Schools and have published books about their successful practices.
Please click here to learn more about Keeping the Promise or if your school is a district school interested in attending a Study Tour, free of cost, in the Fall of 2008.

population and academic criteria as set by the Center for Education Policy
(CEP).
