Pearson Introduces Schoolwide Improvement Model at National Summit

At a National Summit in Orlando today, Pearson will introduce its “Schoolwide Improvement Model” (SIM), a comprehensive research-based approach for attaining sustainable systemwide change in K-12 schools. Forged in partnership with school districts large and small, urban and rural, the new innovative and flexible Schoolwide Improvement Model represents the culmination of two decades of verifiable third-party research, experience and proven results, including the combined heritage and proven success of America’s Choice and Pearson’s Learning Teams.

Alison Wagner, President of Pearson’s School Achievement Services, said, “Our new Schoolwide Improvement Model is a direct response to all that we’ve learned from our rich experiences working with schools around the country and studying best practices around the world.”

Wagner said Pearson’s Schoolwide Improvement Model is built on five essential components:

1. Standards-aligned curriculum, instruction and assessment;
2. High-performance leadership, management and organization;
3. Data-driven culture;
4. High achievement for students and engagement of staff, parents and the community; and,
5. Sustainability for continuous improvement.
