Pathways to achievement
Circumstances and extraordinary challenges can make it tough to
meet school achievement standards and give the children in your
care the great education they deserve. We created the
EdisonLearning™ Achievement Services portfolio to meet
this need – to help underperforming schools get on track to deliver
the academic results and well-rounded education that students,
parents, and the community have every right to expect.
EdisonLearning Achievement Services include a suite of
highly effective tools and support focused at the school
level. Each engagement leverages the best of EdisonLearning to
address every aspect of a school’s academic performance.
EdisonLearning
Alliance™ is the core offering in the
EdisonLearning Achievement Services portfolio of highly
effective K-12 achievement improvement solutions, one that can help
you transform your schools and make them true centers of academic
excellence. Our Alliance™ programs also target sustainable
improvement, building schools’ capacity to deliver a good education
and putting in place structures that help ensure continued high
performance on an ongoing basis.
EdisonLearning Achievement Services are designed to
successfully conform to local factors including the academic
program and collective bargaining agreements. Achievement
Services offerings work optimally in a cluster of school buildings
that share an academic need, whether it is based on remediation
(i.e., NCLB-based intervention, increasing graduation rates) or
acceleration (“good to great” improvement, increasing college
admissions).
By providing the critical tools and teams necessary to deliver
sustainable school improvement, Alliance enables public
schools to follow a proven pathway to achievement success.
How Achievement Services and School Designs differ
EdisonLearning Achievement Services are similar to EdisonLearning™
School Designs in the sense that they are both intensive,
building-based partnerships that use dedicated teams to target and
deliver school improvement and student learning.
Although cut from the same cloth of achievement, there are clear
differences in the offering:
- School Designs is a “whole school” solution that includes all
services – academic, operational, administrative, etc. – as well as
prescribed recommendations for the execution of key components such
as curriculum, scheduling, and staffing.
- Achievement Services focuses on core academic areas including
curriculum and instruction, professional development for leaders
and teachers, assessment and data-driven decision making – the
highest-impact areas that affect learning.
