The Early Learning Foundation is working with elementary schools interested in becoming model sites of early learning success.  Starting with schools that have a commitment to early learning success, along with teacher-leaders and administrative support needed to become a model site, we enter into a long-term (3 to 5 year) commitment to develop schools where outrageous learning success is possible for practically every student. 

Using a comprehensive model of early learning success, we help schools build a school environment which includes these beliefs.

• We will help every possible child experience early learning success.
• A culture of collaboration is needed to help classroom teachers and support staff work at the highest levels of effectiveness.
• We will carefully assess student progress to determine instructional needs and instructional match.
• We will deliver essential instruction at the student’s correct level of challenge.
• Students learn better in a safe, connected classroom culture.

Over time, these model sites develop the components of this comprehensive model.
