Description
High school graduation rates have been on the rise for several years, but a disproportionate number of low-income students of color continue to attend long-struggling schools. School Empowerment Network (SEN) addresses this challenge by leveraging the power of transformational school leadership to reset and restart struggling schools. High level former district leaders with deep expertise in new school design and implementation comprise the SEN team, and they have been bringing that expertise to bear across the country since SEN’s founding in 2015. With Corporation support, SEN will now deepen its capacity to expand its impact through three primary activities: 1) Codify SEN’s core curriculum, which will serve as the foundation for tailoring programs to client-specific needs; 2) Establish a unified approach, methodology, and set of tools to support the assessment of program participants and the overall evaluation of program impact over time; and 3) Build visibility and influence by developing public-facing materials that convey SEN’s approach and expertise.
