Thank you for your interest in expanding your impact through joining the
Middle School Accelerator Cohort.
Principals across Clark County are consistently striving to improve results in their schools, which has been made more complex during this challenging time. To the goals they have set for their students and school community, Principals can benefit from establishing a multi-year strategic plan to strengthen the school’s academic program and supporting systems. Just ask Principal Womack of Brinley Middle School!
"Working with Bellwether Education Partners was like receiving a jackpot of coaching support!"
- Principal Womack
The goal of the Middle School Accelerator Cohort is to:
work alongside school teams to create strong reopening plans using best practices and resources from across the nation,
campus strengths as demonstrated in a Health Assessment (that has been crosswalked with the NCAAT),
support schools in the development of a campus-specific Middle School Success Plan that will guide the School Performance Plan (SPP) for the next 3 years
build principal capacity to effectively partner with their leadership teams so that the school community can make progress towards campus-specific goals that are grounded in outcomes for our students
leverage the cohort experience so principals have the opportunity to learn from each other.
Opportunity180 has partnered with The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation and Bellwether Education Partners
to support middle school leaders who have:
a fierce commitment to racial equity;
a demonstrated track record of leadership;
a deep understanding of their own strengths and identity; and
the vision and drive to bring forth a more equitable future of learning.
The cohort will provide clear structure to principals to develop a school plan, pressure test ideas with peers, and build capacity to manage implementation of the plan with fidelity and success.
Between February 2021 and December 2022:
Participants will develop and execute school success plans specific to their campus, PLUS share best practices and lessons learned to impact fellow middle schools in the cohort experience.
