State-To-District Assistance
Summary
CTAC provided assistance to the public schools in Cleveland, Ohio, during a time that included a state takeover of the district. We helped Cleveland to implement the Standard Bearer Schools process and a Principals’ Performance Support System that linked evaluation to student success.
