Education Week‘s Alyson Klein covered the NASBE Annual Conference session on turnaround schools. An excerpt from “Promise, Challenges Seen in Use of Federal Turnaround Aid”:
Connecticut, like many other states, didn’t get nearly as much transformational change in schools as officials there had hoped from the Obama administration’s multibillion-dollar School Improvement Grant program.
Still, the state gleaned a lot from the stops and starts of its first two cohorts of SIG schools.
That was the message Morgan Barth, the division director of the Constitution State’s school turnaround office, delivered to the National Association of State Boards of Education at its annual conference here last week on states’ roles in school turnarounds.
