Working with districts through a multi-year cycle Taking on a limited number of new districts Continue to build trainer corps

Phase III – Reconnecting Statewide 2009 Continue to support current projects Promote use of MSEC through a variety of venues across the state Title I will begin using it as an initial strategy when working with schools in need of improvement or in restructuring under NCLB
