Inquiry, Action, & Results in Urban Schools
IMPACT 2012 is a new multi-year package of coaching and consultant services for partner secondary schools that builds school-wide, data-driven professional learning communities (PLC) that really impact classroom practice. IMPACT 2012 is designed to support PLC work across all subject areas and grade levels to use formative assessments to develop high-leverage instructional strategies. The Initiative focuses on improving student achievement in Algebra and ELA, graduation, and college-readiness rates.

On April 25-26, 2008, BayCES cohosted On Our Watch: Preparing Urban Students for Life, Leadership, and Academic Excellence, with EXCEL High School and the School Redesign Network at Stanford University (SRN:LEADS).  Over 250 educators, parents, community members and students from across the country attended the Urban Small Schools Symposium to work together toward creating equitable and high-achieving urban small schools through powerful teaching and learning strategies.

BayCES posts positions available in partner schools and peer education organizations to facilitate connections between excellent people and organizations that promote educational equity and excellence.
