Strategies

Implement a coordinated effort to overhaul school operation, integrating curriculum, instruction, professional development, parent involvement, classroom and school management; also called school-wide or whole school reform

Offer programs to help individuals without a high school diploma or its equivalent achieve a high school equivalency credential
