Regional Support System

The regional support system approach will ensure comprehensive and sustainable school improvement. The composition and focus of the regional support teams will include the following:

·         Regional Leaders that are change agents with a prior success record of improving student performance in demographically similar schools. Regional Leaders will support school improvement efforts in the region, build district capacity, provide and broker professional development, and coach and mentor school principals and the school and district leadership teams.

·         Instructional Specialists that are experts in primary and secondary curriculum and pedagogy and have content-area knowledge. Facilitators will support the development and evaluation of district and school improvement plans, monitor the implementation of interventions, and provide other school improvement support services.

·         Connecting Partners that broker services and supports already in place to districts and schools, such as Reading First Professional Development Coordinators, Statewide Problem-Solving, Response to Intervention (RtI) Project, William Cecil Golden, the Positive Behavior Support Project, Institutions of Higher Education, business organizations, and public and private consortiums.
