Achievement First operates a network of 19 public charter schools in New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford, CT, and Brooklyn, NY. In the 2009-10 academic year, we are serving over 4,500 students in grades K to 12.

Achievement First schools offer a college-preparatory environment in which all students will learn, achieve and go to college. The school day and year are structured to infuse students with a love of learning and to provide them with the academic and character skills necessary to succeed in college and a competitive world.

What Makes Achievement First Schools Great

• More time on task: The Achievement First school day and year are longer than traditional public schools. The school day runs from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with tutoring before and after school, and all students attend our mandatory three-week Summer Academy. Over the course of a K to 12 education, this extra time amounts to one additional year of instruction.
• Excellent teachers: The primary factor impacting student achievement is teacher quality. At Achievement First,we are committed to ensuring that there is a talented and caring teacher in every classroom. We dedicate significant time and resources to recruiting great teachers from across the country and to providing our teachers with the support and professional development they need to achieve excellence.
• Intensive reading program: Achievement First students spend at least three hours each day on reading instruction. Students benefit from whole-class instruction, small-group instruction and a robust independent reading program. Students are also expected to read at home for 20 minutes each night.
• Support for struggling students: All students will learn—we accept no excuses. Achievement First students are assessed in the core subjects every six weeks so that struggling students can be identified and receive help before they fall too far behind. Every Achievement First school offers a combination of before- and after-school tutoring, small-group instruction during the school day, and Saturday tutoring to make sure that every student receives the help that he or she needs.
• Unwavering college focus: We continuously expose students to college. Beginning in kindergarten, Achievement First students are preparing to go to college. Our classrooms are named after colleges and universities, each grade is identified by the year they will graduate from college, and students make annual field trips to colleges and universities. We aim for a 100 percent college acceptance rate for our high school seniors.
• Commitment to character education: All students live by the REACH values (Respect, Enthusiasm, Achievement, Citizenship and Hard Work). Our goal is to develop well-rounded students, and we teach these character values as explicitly as we teach academics.
• Palpable love of learning and joy: Achievement First students know that it is “cool” to be smart and that learning is fun. Students are frequently and systematically recognized for academic achievement and good behavior. Students can earn everything from recognition at award ceremonies to trips to bowling alleys, amusement parks and movie theaters.
• Team and family atmosphere: Education is a team sport. Academic breakthroughs and high student achievement require teamwork between parents, students and teachers. At Achievement First, students, parents and teachers sign a contract outlining their shared commitment to hard work and consistent support of one another.

The Power of US!

Blue Valley Schools: Education Beyond Expectations

Welcome to Blue Valley. Located in the greater Kansas City metropolitan area, the Blue Valley School District has a well-established reputation for excellence. Because of our students’ outstanding academic achievements, we are among the top public school districts in the nation.

Blue Valley teachers strive to provide an Education Beyond Expectations and to achieve unprecedented academic success throughout our 33 schools. It is our mission to equip each one of our 21,629 students in grades Pre K -12 to accomplish more than they ever imagined.

We hold ourselves to high standards and it pays off. Our students make us proud year after year. For eight consecutive years now, the district, every Blue Valley school, every grade level and every subgroup has made AYP in accordance with the No Child Left Behind Act and that’s just the beginning of what makes Blue Valley special.

How do we do it? It starts with a sense of connection among colleagues. Part of what makes that possible is a districtwide focus on Professional Learning Communities. Professional Learning Communities enable teachers across grade levels and subject areas to collaborate and learn from each other, fine-tune teaching techniques that will personalize learning for each student and help them maximize their potential.

In Blue Valley, Professional Learning Communities have helped us build a strong team-oriented setting. Teachers work together to answer the following questions as they educate each and every student: What do we want students to learn? How will we know they are learning? What are we going to do if they don’t learn? What do we do if students already know it?

Strategic planning leads to success

Professional Learning Communities have been a feature in Blue Valley’s strategic plan since 2005. This plan has helped us achieve the results we want for teachers, staff and especially for students. Here’s a sampling of some our academic results:

• Thirty-six high school seniors from Blue Valley were named National Merit Finalists during the 2009-10 school year.
• In 2010 the average composite ACT score districtwide reached an all-time high of 25.
• Each Blue Valley high school has been named to Newsweek’s list of America’s top public high schools for the past four years.
• Nine Blue Valley schools were recognized with the Governor’s Achievement Award for 2009-10.

Blue Valley Virtues: a vital ingredient for success

The Blue Valley Virtues: respect, responsibility, honesty, perseverance, self-discipline, compassion and courage are a part of who we are. Walk into any school and you will see them in the décor and feel them in the way we treat one another. Our staff and community support character education vigorously through community service projects and volunteer opportunities and we have built it into daily life for students at every level. Blue Valley students begin learning the seven Blue Valley virtues right along with the academic curriculum from the beginning. It’s one more way we support our goal of unparalleled personal growth for every student.

Celebrating diversity

From outstanding academic excellence, to solid character education, to our unwavering commitment to professional development, we have many reasons to celebrate in Blue Valley. Add to this list the many world cultures represented by Blue Valley students and staff: sixty-two languages are spoken across the Blue Valley population. Throughout our school year students, families and staff have daily opportunities to learn and appreciate each one of them. We celebrate diversity in Blue Valley because we know it makes us strong. Diversity helps to create the deep-seated sense of progress and hope that permeates life in Blue Valley. No matter where a student starts or where they want to go, Blue Valley teachers have the tools and the support they need to provide Education Beyond Expectations to each and every one.

Educational Services of America (ESA) is the nation’s leading provider of K-12 alternative and special education schools and programs for students who are at risk of dropping out and for students with special needs. We partner with more than 240 public school districts in approximately 20 states to serve more than 10,000 students each year in more than 140 schools and programs.

Mission

ESA’s mission is to provide personalized, evidence-based educational services for non-traditional learners in collaboration with families and public school districts.

Structure

As a private company, ESA has access to capital and other resources that allow it to focus on educating students in the most effective, efficient way possible without having to divert attention and resources to ongoing fund raising.  It has used its financial strength to grow quality programs through
public school partnerships and expand its platform through strategic acquisitions.

Strategic Service Areas

ESA operates two service divisions—Ombudsman Educational Services and Spectrum Center Schools and Programs.

Many public school districts partner with Ombudsman to provide alternative programs for dropout prevention and credit recovery. Ombudsman students are at risk of not graduating because they may have missed too many school days, lack credits, or have academic challenges or adult responsibilities that keep them from being successful in a traditional school environment. Nationwide, 85 percent of Ombudsman students graduate, earn necessary credits or return to their district school closer to or at grade level. This number is significant, as 100 percent of Ombudsman students are considered at risk when entering the program.

ESA also operates Spectrum Center Schools and Programs. This division serves children and young adults aged five to 22 who have autism spectrum disorders, developmental delays, emotional disturbances, behavioral challenges or other special needs. Spectrum provides supplemental special education to public schools by operating nonpublic schools for students with special needs, as well as special education classrooms within public school buildings.

The growth in each of these service areas reflects a national increase in the demand for alternative and special needs education programming. With increased awareness of special needs, higher diagnosis rates and the heightened interest among public school systems to provide special programs, demand for ESA’s strategic service areas continues to grow.

Locations

We partner with more than 240 public school districts in approximately 20 states to serve more than 10,000 students each year in more than 135 schools and programs.

Eight of the schools are green-built and five are LEED certified; making GRPS a leader in the state and nation on green built schools.

In November 2008, GRPS was recognized in a Detroit News editorial opinion as a “model” urban school district for its bold and innovative education reforms that are producing significant academic gains. The number of schools meeting Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) has increased from 26 in 2006 to 49 today. Over that same period of time, the number of schools earning a “B” grade or better on the Michigan Education Yes! Report has nearly quadrupled from 7 to 27. Also, over this same period of time, GRPS saw MEAP scores increase in nearly every subject level and grade level for five consecutive years.

The systemic changes and improvements happening throughout the district are being driven by a nationally acclaimed “effort-based learning” model that Superintendent Bernard Taylor, Jr. initiated in 2007 thanks to the generous support of the Doug and Maria DeVos Foundation and a partnership with the University of Pittsburgh’s Institute for Learning.
