Supporting campus and district leaders

We support campuses and districts that earn a D or F rating through the State Accountability System and with campuses identified for Comprehensive, Targeted, and Additional Targeted Support under ESSA. We guide both campus and district leaders through school improvement interventions set forth by The Texas Education Agency.

How we work

We provide training and personalized support for district and campus leaders around the implementation of TEA required interventions. Each district is assigned a case manager who serves as your point of contact around the continuous improvement process. Our case managers are school improvement experts who collaborate with the DCSI and campus principals serving as a critical friend, thought partner, and resource to help your district/campus increase student outcomes.
