Description

A U.S. Department of Education grant program that funds and promotes school-improvement interventions for low-performing schools.

Components

  • Three-practice school improvement package promoted by SIG: The School Improvement Grants program promotes a package of school improvement practices for low-performing schools comprising three components: "using data to inform and differentiate instruction," "expanding technology access for teachers or using computer-assisted instruction," and "providing ongoing professional development in which teachers work collaboratively or that school leaders facilitate." An evaluation brief found over 96 percent of surveyed low-performing schools adopted all three practices, making this a widely implemented improvement pattern in SIG-funded settings.
