School Turn Around Assistance

Districts and schools across Montana that are looking for research-based solutions for increasing academic achievement are invited to join the School Turnaround Learning Community.

The goal of the STLC is to provide states and districts with easy online access to resources and to facilitate networking that will enable them to support schools more effectively. School turnaround , with its rapid pace of expected improvement, requires vigilant and proactive oversight and support from districts and states. Both research-based practices and practical examples from states, districts, and schools inventing on-the-ground solutions are available. The purpose of the STLC is to provide one-stop access to these resources and to promote and facilitate sharing across states and districts to deepen learning over time.
