A Brief History of School Improvement Grants (SIG)
• Section 1003(g) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provides for the U.S. Secretary of Education to allocate funds to SEAs for the purpose of school improvement. Within the regulations and guidelines established by the Secretary, each SEA administers grants to LEAs to “enable the lowest-achieving schools” to meet accountability requirements.
• LEAs in restructuring could chose one of the following options for restructuring schools: – Close and reopen as a charter;– Contract with a private management company; – Replace all or most of the staff;– Fall under state management; or – The “other” option to instate major changes in governance structure.
Most schools in restructuring chose the last option, the “other” reform strategy.
8
Evolution of the SIG
• In 2009, under the Obama administration, and specifically US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, the requirements to receive SIG funding were elevated so that efforts were focused on the lowest achieving schools across the country.
• The U.S. Department of Education announced a dramatic increase in the funds that would be provided to SEAs under section 1003(g) while issuing program requirements that charged the SEAs with channeling the funds to LEAs for the “persistently lowest-achieving schools” to support rapid improvement.
The “other” option is off the table and the reform strategy options are much more prescriptive and rigorous.
“ If we are to put an end to stubborn cycles of poverty and social failure, and put our country on track for long term economic ‐prosperity, we must address the needs of children who have long been ignored and marginalized in chronically low-achieving schools…Our goal is to turn around the 5,000 lowest performing schools over the next five years, as part of our overall strategy for dramatically reducing the drop-out rate, improving high school graduation rates, and increasing the number of students who graduate prepared for success in college and the workplace.”
Arne DuncanSecretary of Education

Present Day SIG
School Improvement Grants (SIG) are grants to state educational agencies (SEAs) that SEAs use to make competitive subgrants to local educational agencies (LEAs) that demonstrate the greatest need for the funds and the strongest commitment to use the funds to provide adequate resources in order to raise substantially the achievement of students in their lowest-performing schools.
11
Purpose of School Improvement Grants
The SIG program…• Strongly amplifies the restructuring provisions of NCLB and commits a massive
surge of funding to rid the nation of its persistently lowest-achieving schools.• Makes it clear that change must be dramatic, improvement rapid, and results
significant.• Emphasizes changes in governance, structure, human capital, and practice in
order to effect rapid and substantial improvement of persistently low-achieving schools.
• Strengthens the capacity of states to carry out their program improvement responsibilities required under Sections 1116 and 1117 of Title I of the ESEA by:– Building state capacity to provide leadership in implementing effective school
improvement strategies for local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools that have been identified for improvement, are in corrective action, and are in the restructuring process; and
– providing resources to LEAs to support school improvement activities, including the development and implementation of effective restructuring plans.
Turnaround
• Replace the principal and grant the new principal operational flexibility regarding staffing and budgeting
• Screen and rehire no more than 50% of the staff• Adopt a new governance structure• Commit to the use of instructional data• Implement comprehensive instructional reform,
including expanded learning time• Provide social-emotional and community-
oriented services and supports for students
Transformation
• Replace the principal (unless the principal was recently selected for reform purposes)
• Implement rigorous educator evaluations that include rewards for increasing student achievement and removal of those who do not improve their professional practice
• Implement comprehensive instructional reform, including increased learning time
• Facilitate ongoing community engagement• Provide operational flexibility regarding staffing
and budgeting
Restart• Convert a school or close and reopen it under a
charter school operator, a charter management organization, or an education management organization that has been selected through a rigorous review process
School Closure• Close a school and enroll the students who
attended that school in other schools in the district (within reasonable proximity) that are higher achieving
The Four 7 SIG Intervention Models
Early Learning ModelAn LEA that selects this model must: • Offer full-day kindergarten; • Establish or expand a high-quality preschool program; • Provide educators, including preschool teachers, with joint planning time; • Implement additional requirements that are the same as the transformation model (except no requirement for
increased learning time).
Evidence-Based Whole School Reform ModelAn LEA must implement this model in partnership with a whole-school reform model developer – an entity or individual that maintains proprietary rights for the model; or has a demonstrated record of success implementing a WSR model and is selected through a rigorous review process the determines likelihood to produce strong results.• The model must be evidence based• Must be a whole-school reform model• LEAs must choose a model identified by ED as meeting the applicable requirements
State Determined Model (Optional)SEAs may submit one State-determined model for review and approval by the Secretary. Review criteria for approval include: • must be a whole-school reform model: designed to improved student academic achievement/attainment;
implemented for all students in the school; address at minimum (a) school leadership, (b) T&L in at least one full academic content area, (c) student non-academic support, and (d) family and community engagement
• may include, at the SEA’s discretion, any other element or strategy that the SEA determines will help improve student achievement

Orientation to Virginia’s ESEA Flexibility Waiver Requirements for
Priority Schools
15
ESEA Flexibility Waiver
• In 2012, The U.S. Department of Education (USED) invited SEAs to request flexibility regarding specific requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) in exchange for rigorous and comprehensive state-developed plans designed to:– improve educational outcomes for all students, – close achievement gaps, – increase equity, and – improve the quality of instruction.
• In June of 2012, USED granted Virginia waivers from certain requirements of ESEA/NCLB.
16
Highlights of ESEA Flexibility• Replaces the AYP timeline for all students in each subgroup to meet or
exceed the SEA’s proficient level of academic achievement by the end of the 2013–2014 school year, with Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) set by VDOE in reading and mathematics for student subgroups that are ambitious, but achievable.
• Relieves LEAs from the school improvement requirements in ESEA section 1116(b) and their associated regulatory requirements: – identifying Title I schools as in need of improvement (INI), corrective action (CA),
or restructuring – developing and implementing school improvement plans– reserving funds for professional development (10% of Title I allocation), or – providing public school choice and supplemental educational services (SES)
(20% of Title I allocation).
• Replaces the requirement to identify schools as INI, CA, or restructuring with the requirement to identify priority and focus schools.
17
Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs)
• Virginia’s AMOs represent the percentage of students within each subgroup that must pass SOL tests in reading and mathematics in order to substantially reduce the gap between students in high-performing and low-performing schools.
• Separate AMOs have been set for student subgroups, including Proficiency Gap Groups comprising students who historically have had difficulty meeting the commonwealth’s achievement standards.

28
Role of Lead Turnaround Partners in Priority Schools
29
• In June 2013, VDOE issued a new Request for Proposals (RFP) process for Lead Turnaround Partners for "Full Management" and "Excluding Management” services that replaced the previous contracts.
Lead Turnaround Partners (LTP)
*Full ManagementThe LTP provides full management services under the authority of the local school division or other state or local public educational body to lead the reform effort and be given increased ability to act and the authority to make choices for one or more persistently low-achieving Virginia public schools.
Excluding Management
The LTP shall develop and implement an academic program for one or more of the core discipline areas of math, science, history/social science and language arts using VDOE approved approaches to increase student achievement in persistently low-achieving public schools
• Through the rigorous RFP review process, Virginia selected eight LTPs for the state contract:– American Institutes for Research– Cambridge Education– Community Training and Assistance Center– Innovative Educational Programs– *Mosaica Turnaround Partners– NCS Pearson– Newton Alliance– Public Consulting Group
Role of the Lead Turnaround Partner
The role of the LTPs assigned to low-performing schools is to increase student achievement and the graduation rate by providing deep, systemic instructional reform. For priority schools, LTP responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
Building local capacity with targeted and differentiated supports and interventions as determined by diagnostic reviews of student performance and practices; Build internal capacity within the schools and by extension, the division
Providing deep, systemic instructional reform and student support services for the school division and its affected priority school(s)
Maintain an embedded, consistent, and intense relationship with each school, requiring weekly presence in each school

LTP Monitoring Tool–Monthly Report
LTP Monitoring – Monthly Report
Stop-lighting Exercise: Following the directions on the LTP Monitoring Tool – Monthly Report, utilize the sample documentation to complete the report for one Turnaround Principle. Think about the following questions to guide your work. • Is the LTP implementing its reform plan with fidelity? Why or why not?
• Which strategies are completed or in-progress? Which strategies are off track? Why?
• Which strategies are showing promising results? Which strategies appear to be less promising? What midcourse corrections are needed?
• Which strategies should the school team start, stop, and continue doing?
• What additional supports does the school/divisions need from the OSI?
TurnaroundPrinciple 2:
Ensure that teachers are effective and able to improve instruction by: (1) reviewing the quality of all staff and retaining only those who are determined to be effective and have the ability to be successful in the turnaround effort; (2) preventing ineffective teachers from transferring to these schools; (3) providing job-embedded, ongoing professional development based on the teacher evaluation and support systems and tied to teacher and student needs; (4) working with the school division or other state or local public educational body to recruit and recommend teachers and a leader(s) who have a proven record of success of increasing student achievement; and (5) recommending necessary restructuring of teacher and leader contracts.
