  9. Common Instructional Framework • Originated at University Park Campus School in Worcester, MA • Implemented in all NCNSP Schools • Allows students to read, write, think and talk

  10. Proven Results

  11. University Park Campus School(Worcester, MA) • Demographics: • 88% Free/Reduced Lunch • 65% ESL • 75% Minority • 90% 1st Gen. College Students

  12. University Park Campus School(Worcester, MA) • Results: • 95% of graduates have gone on to college • 99% of students have passed the state’s graduation exam the first time • Named the top-ranked high-poverty high school in the nation by Newsweek

  13. More students stay in school Annual dropout rate for NC’s innovative high schools in 2009-10 was 2.3%--significantly below the statewide rate of 3.75%. For early college high schools, it was less than 1%. Two thirds of all innovative high schools had no 9th grade dropouts in 2009-10. The combined graduation rate for 73 innovative high schools with cohorts completing in 2011 was 85.6%, compared to a statewide rate of 77.7%. Early college high schools had a combined graduation rate of 91.2%.

  14. More students are making academic progress (Growth and Proficiency) More than half of all innovative high schools in 2009-10 reached their academic growth targets set by the state. More than three quarters of innovative high schools achieved “Adequate Yearly Progress,” or AYP, under the federal No Child Left Behind law.

  15. More students succeed at college-level work Three quarters (77%) of community college courses taken by early college students in 2009-10 received a passing grade of C or better. For courses taken by their college-age peers, 70% earned a C or better.

  16. Fewer students are suspended The median suspension rate of 106 innovative high schools in 2009-10 was 9 suspensions for 100 students, compared to a median of 24 per 100 students for all high schools in the state. For the 70 early college high schools open last year, the median suspension rate was 6 per 100 students.

  17. More teachers believe in their schools Nearly 45 percent of teachers in innovative high schools believe strongly that their schools are “a good place to work and learn,” compared to about a third of comparison high schools, based upon the NC’s 2010 Teacher Working Conditions survey.
