Urban Education Improvement — Together We Can Make a Difference!

The Urban Education Improvement Program was created in 2003 and is a working partnership between the Department, teachers, administrators and other stakeholders who are striving to improve student achievement in urban schools. 

Program goals:

  • To serve as an outstanding resource for urban schools that face unique challenges in meeting achievement standards;
  • To research and implement best practices that focus on the needs of urban schools and the children that they serve;
  • To assist in locating resources for those schools;
  • To identify staff development needs;
  • To focus school improvement processes on student achievement.
