Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education, Elementary & Secondary Schools, Literacy
Mission: The school is an inner-city indianapolis charter school that provides small, safe learning community where respectful behaviors are modeled and expected.
Programs: The school focuses on hiring the best available teaching talent and providing their teachers with the resources to ensure success in the classroom. This not only includes physical equipment, especially the use of the latest instructional technology, but also employing a performance management system to provide constructive ongoing feedback as a method of continuous improvement. Teachers are coached on developing effective instructional classroom management techniques beyond their education training, because istep is the ultimate measure of success of the school's students and teachers in elementary and middle school. The school uses nwea assessment in grades k-8 to track students' learning progress and prepare them for standardized testing in the spring. Classroom curriculum is, of course, fine-tuned to prepare students for istep. Similarly, the students receive the end of course assessment (eca) several times during their high school career in preparation to qualify for graduation.
