Great Expectations, a non-profit foundation that provides intensive professional development to teachers and administrators, has been recognized for making a positive difference in education by K12 leaders who named it to District Administration’s “Readers’ Choice Top Products for 2015.”
“It was inspiring to learn about the products being used in today’s schools and classrooms that are helping districts succeed,” says JD Solomon, editorial director at District Administration. “All of our 2015 honorees should be very proud of this achievement.”
Great Expectations provides a professional development program that trains teachers and administrators to create a culture of mutual respect as well as academic excellence in schools. The non-profit’s school transformation model focuses on student self-esteem, high expectations, increased attendance, positive discipline and parent participation, all of which lead to improved student achievement. With full implementation of Great Expectations, academic performance and attendance go up, while disciplinary referrals and suspensions go down.
