Parents want additional academic options for their students, and expanded enrollments mean leaders like you will start to feel additional pressure from your boards and authorizers to demonstrate that charter schools are a valuable investment of community resources.
One way to do that? Ensure you are selecting the right literacy curriculum and professional development programs by choosing innovative, research-proven and classroom-tested programs with demonstrated successful outcomes.
That translates to:
- Academic accountability to your educator leaders and authorizers
- A solid return on instructional dollars (ROI) that drive results
- Teacher confidence and retention
- Proven programs that work for all students

The school had all the elements in place—specifically, Lexia Core5® Reading, a blended learning literacy program for K– 5 students.
Under her guidance, the school implemented the program with fidelity the following fall. In only six months, the percentage of students working at or above grade level increased from 40% to 82%. READ MORE →

Her teachers needed progress-monitoring data to differentiate instruction for all students—particularly the school’s Emergent Bilinguals, who compose about a quarter of the student population.
So how did the percentage of K–2 students working in or above grade level increase from 45% to 95%, and the percentage of students working below grade level in decrease from 52% to 5% in less than one year? FIND OUT →
