The Transformational Model Schools Program formerly known as the Ten Schools Progam will continue to work closely with local districts to support and promote student achievement. Under the direction of the Local District Superintendent and the Student Integration Services the Transformational Schools will continue to be models of excellence for schools in their communities.

The mission of the Transformational Schools Program is to provide an Intervantion/instructional program in an organizational design that is language intensive and directed at reversing the pattern of poor academic achievement of African American and other students in predomnately Hispanic, Black, Asian and Other Non-Anglo (PHBAO) schools.

The Transformational Schools Program currently supports 13 elementary schools and two middle schools. According to the 2008-09 CST data, eleven schools have me their API Growth Target, and eleven of the fifteen schools have surpassed an API score of 700. The Transformatioanl Schools Program continues to sustain and/or increase the academic growth at each school.

The Transformational Schools Program will continue to develop as the exemplar of excellence for comparable schools. This will be achieved by building at each school a community of informed and empowered parents, teachers, staff, and community partners who work collaboratively to support high-quality teaching and learning.

The Transformation Schools continue to be on the cutting edge of professional development. Transformational School's principals and staff were trained during the summer by Pearson Learning Teams (LT) on the 7 step protocols. By creating learning communiites in which teachers, and those who support them, use data in a reflective cycle of continuous improvement to develop their skills in delivering high-quality and personalized instruction that ensures learning for all students.

In collaboration with Local District Superintendent we will implement a school reform model that evaluates and identifies the best school model for each neighborhood. From our evaluation we will embrace our successful schools, provide support to our underperforming schools, to meet the needs of our students. We want to support our neediest underachieving schools with a proven school reform model, and transform these underachieving schools into models of excellence
