VIRGINIA TURNAROUND LEADER PARTNER
25
“The main purpose of the Lead Turnaround Partner Provider is to increase student achievement in the persistently lowest-performing schools. The conceptual framework for Lead Turnaround Partner was created using the work published in The Turnaround Challenge by the Mass Insight Education and Research Institute. A full copy of the report can be found at: http://www.massinsight.org/turnaround/reports.aspx”
![Page 26: IMPLEMENTING SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT GRANT INTERVENTIONS IN VIRGINIA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/568143f3550346895db07d8c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
VIRGINIA TURNAROUND LEADER PARTNER
26 “This model creates a turnaround zone for a school or a cluster of schools. Divisions could form a consortium to engage an LTP to work with a cluster of schools within the consortium. The purpose of this zone is to provide parents of students in persistently low-performing schools with choice and to provide students with an opportunity for additional research-based instructional resources to increase student achievement. This model is centered on the Lead Turnaround Partner (LTP) providing an outside-the-system approach inside-the-system. Under the ultimate authority of the school divisions’ local school boards, the LTP will lead the reform effort within the turnaround zone and be given increased ability to act and authority to make choices. The program within the turnaround zone will focus on instruction in the four core content areas of math, science, social studies and language arts.”

VIRGINIA TURNAROUND LEADER PARTNER
27
“The LTP will bring in increased resources to the students served. These resources include people, time, money and programs ... Triggered by parental choice, a school or cluster of schools in a turnaround zone must be led by an LTP that provides deep, systemic instructional reform.”

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE…

“So, if a school is struggling, we have to work with the principal and the teachers to find a solution. We’ve got to give them a chance to make meaningful improvements. But if a school continues to fail its students year after year after year, if it doesn’t show signs of improvement, then there’s got to be a sense of accountability. And that’s what happened in Rhode Island last week at a chronically troubled school, when just 7 percent of 11th graders passed state math tests — 7 percent. When a school board wasn’t able to deliver change by other means, they voted to lay off the faculty and the staff. As my Education Secretary, Arne Duncan, says, our kids get only one chance at an education, and we need to get it right.”Barack Obama, March 1, 2010
