Beyond Expected Student Targets (BEST)
Broward has shining examples at every level (student, class, subject, grade, school) of BEST outcomes.
Collaborative efforts among principals are at an all time high.
There isn’t one BEST practice in existence at an expert level across all schools in Broward.

“Scaling requires grinding it out, and pressing each
person, team, group, division, or organization to
make one small change after another in what they
believe, feel, or do.”
