PARTNERING TO RAISE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Edison Alliance is a comprehensive program for driving student achievement in under-performing schools. The Edison Alliance model is built on three interrelated components: Alliance, Achievement, and Accountability.
The strength of the Alliance partnership lies in its combination of local know-how and experience, along with Edison’s expertise in implementing proven achievement strategies for turning around underachieving schools. In an Alliance partnership, the district retains management of the partnership schools’ operations while Edison provides the partnership schools with a customized program created according to results from an intensive diagnostic. Each program includes proven achievement tools, systems including the Benchmark Assessment System, and resources that are the product of significant research and development and more than ten years of school management experience. In addition, Edison provides the district and partnership schools with intensive onsite support that is essential for successfully raising and maintaining higher achievement levels.
Ultimately, the goal of an Alliance partnership is to increase student achievement at partnership schools. Accountability is at the core of the Alliance Reform Model. If we do not help improve student achievement, then we have not succeeded.
