Model School Study Group

"A motivating experience."

 

A Model School is one that is meeting or exceeding academic expectations, practices teacher leadership and has a strong culture of community. Teachers from one successful school - either a district or charter public school - engage in research and discussion to better understand the effective practices that are leading to their success. The process begins with a whole school survey as an organizational self assessment. Then there is a series of sessions in which a representative group of faculty engage in dialogue in order to explore and describe the practices at their school. Following these discussions, participating faculty work with PSI staff to develop a book and offer coaching based on their practices and reflections as PSI Associates.
