Accelerated School Improvement Model

Structured, Embedded School-Level Transformation

The Education Partners School Turnaround Intervention Model is a disciplined, school-level improvement approach designed to strengthen instructional quality, leadership capacity, and student outcomes.

Education Partners works alongside school districts and charter networks to build sustainable improvement aligned with accountability expectations. 

Education Partners School Turnaround Intervention Model:

  • Provides a defined instructional model and framework for support

  • Delivers sequenced training and professional development

  • Offers embedded, in-person coaching

  • Aligns improvement with accountability expectations

  • Builds internal capacity 

This model helps schools move rapidly toward sustained improvement — reducing the need for external intervention or action.

Model Foundation

The Education Partners School Turnaround Intervention Model is informed by evidence-based, high-intensity turnaround efforts. 

The model focuses on:

High-quality, grade-level instruction in math and literacy, grounded in clear lesson internalization, strong modeling, rigorous questioning, and 100% student engagement through structured practice opportunities and monitoring systems.

Leadership capacity development, including principal coaching on instructional leadership, data-driven decision-making, and high-functioning team structures.

Implementation fidelity, supported through intensive in-person coaching, classroom observation and feedback cycles, aligned curriculum materials, and consistent accountability structures.

Systems for sustained success, strengthening senior district/network leadership capacity and internal accountability structures for effective execution and continuous improvement.

Model Implementation

The Education Partners School Turnaround Intervention Model implementation includes three integrated components:

  • We begins by aligning school and district leaders around:

    • Clear instructional expectations

    • Defined systems and routines

    • Implementation sequencing and priorities

    This ensures clarity, coherence, and shared understanding.

  • Sustained improvement requires ongoing support, not one-time training.

    We provide:

    • Weekly in-person coaching for principals and instructional leaders

    • Classroom observation and feedback cycles

    • Targeted professional learning 

    • Ongoing calibration to strengthen instructional rigor

    Our focus is building internal capacity so leaders and teachers can sustain improvements over time.

  • We support execution excellence by helping district leaders:

    • Sequence initiatives effectively

    • Monitor implementation progress

    • Align instructional and operational priorities

    We conduct structured instructional and implementation evaluation and debrief findings with leaders to assess progress and refine next steps.
