Abstract | In 2012, things were not looking good for Grant Beacon Middle School in Denver, Colorado. Enrollment numbers were declining, students were not reaching required academic levels, and the Denver Public Schools district designated the school as on watch. By implementing a plan that emphasized expanded learning opportunities--adding five hours to the school week during which students engage in enrichment activities--the school turned around. Attendance and test scores are up, suspensions are down. Key elements of success were starting with a vision, choosing the right partners, including student voice, hiring a full-time coordinator, and offering high-quality programming. (As Provided). |
