What does it take to get great results in schools with mostly low-income, minority students? The "Beat the Odds" research study found six keys to success at Arizona schools where student achievement exceeded expectations. The Beat the Odds Institute provides K-12 principals with the training, assistance and support they need to apply the research findings in their own schools.
REGISTER NOW FOR BEAT THE ODDS PROGRAM
Arizona K-12 schools interested in participating in the Beat the Odds program during the 2010-2011 academic year are encouraged to register no later than September.
The program, now entering its fourth year, is continuing to expand statewide, offering opportunities to additional schools and districts with low-income, high minority student populations. A recent evaluation by WestEd, a national research agency, found that scores in reading and math on state tests were higher in BTO schools compared to similar schools not in the program.
Interested principals and superintendents should contact Beat the Odds Institute Director Marjorie Kaplan at (602) 496-1360 for more information or to register.
