Change Model

“The Quality Schools Action Framework helps people hone in on what’s important and needed in their local school context. A number of our partner schools and coalition organizations have used the framework to assess baselines, plan and implement strategy, and monitor progress in educating all students to high quality.”
– Dr. María “Cuca” Robledo Montecel, IDRA president and co-editor of the new book

The Quality Schools Action Framework™ is based on experience and empirical evidence that emerges from existing theories of change. It gives a model for assessing a school’s conditions and outcomes, for identifying leverage points for improvement, and for informing action.

Courage to Connect: A Quality Schools Action Framework™ gives you a useful tool to:

• Conceive, design and manage sustainable change at the school or district level;
• Encourage thoughtful and coherent selection of transformative practices that are grounded in the reality of the school and its community;
• Focus on particular strategies and/or instructional approaches (e.g., bilingual education) without losing track of the contexts that matter (e.g., teaching quality, school/district leadership, funding);
• Inform evidence-based community collaboration and oversight in productive ways; and
• Inform meaningful comparisons across schools and districts.

“Our future depends on us having an excellent public educational system, where all students graduate from high school prepared for college or the world of work, no matter what the color of their skin, the language they speak, or where they happen to be born. And this is a goal I believe we can achieve.”
– Dr. María “Cuca” Robledo Montecel, IDRA president and co-editor of the new book
