WHAT OTHERS SAY
Connecting Schools, Families and Communities, Annie E. Casey Foundation, May 2007
The school-community connection at George Washington Community School has been strengthened through the school's participation in the Indiana Student Achievement Institute. Teachers, parents, business representatives, and students work together in the Institute's Vision-to-Action process for systemic change to analyze data about the school and create a shared vision and road map for student success. The process has helped to increase the alignment between the work of community partners and the school's core instructional programs.
School Improvement Policy Brief, Council of Chief State School Officers, September 2006
Many of Indiana's schools have been led through a vision-based school improvement process facilitated by [ASAI]. A steering team composed of school staff, parents and a business representative guide shared decision making between all administrators, all teachers, all students, parents, business representatives, and community members. A hallmark of the process is embracing and working through resistance for systemic change.
"Remarkable progress" in Indiana schools.
National Pathways to College, 2004
One of 100 program recognized nationally for "research-based principles and actions to improve college access and success."
