School Structure and Organization
Understanding schools as organizations illuminates the mechanisms and high-impact levers that drive school improvement.
The Consortium’s seminal research found that strength on five essential organizational supports were highly correlated with whether schools continued improving student learning. UEI's work also explores the impact of school closings and turnarounds, school disciplinary policies, and the charter model, while many of UEI's resources are designed to help schools build their organizational capacity to take on the day-to-day challenges of schooling.
