Blueprint Schools Network, Inc. (Blueprint) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to helping school districts close the achievement gap in their lowest-performing schools. Using a blueprint of comprehensive reform strategies, we partner with school districts to plan, implement, and monitor the progress of whole school turnaround with the goal of improving educational and life opportunities for students.
Blueprint uses five core strategies for school reform that are based on work performed by leading researchers at Harvard University. The blueprint represents one of the first attempts to distill successful practices of high performing charter schools into a format that can be transferred to all schools in a turnaround setting. The five strategies include:
- Excellence in Leadership and Instruction
- Increased Instructional Time
- A No-Excuses Culture of High Expectations
- Frequent Assessments to Improve Instruction
- Daily Tutoring in Critical Areas
For the 2013-14 school year we are seeking fellows for our schools in Denver, CO and in Eastern Massachusetts. Together, our fellows serve in more than 50 schools in these geographies.
