DISTRICT ACCELERATION NETWORK

The District Acceleration Network is defined as the school board, superintendent, and central office administrators who work collaboratively with association leadership to guide purposeful systemic reconfiguration and to sustain the organization's sense of urgency in realizing dramatic improvement in student, teacher, and leader performance in a short amount of time (Chandler & Frank, 2015).

The graphic below offers a suggested timeline for installation as well as the levels of installation for the Blueprint.

Vassar is currently entering the Lobby Level.

TALENT MANAGEMENT DRIVER SYSTEM

This system is concerned with finding, identifying, developing, and keeping the talent required to impact student, teacher, and leader performance in districts where systemic reconfiguration purposefully disrupts current practice to create a new structure of coherent, aligned district and building systems to ensure success for all students (Chandler & Frank, 2015).

Blueprint

LEADERSHIP NETWORK

This system is concerned with the "intentional efforts at all levels of an educational system to guide, direct, or support teachers as they seek to increase their repertoire of skills, gain professional knowledge," (Knapp, Copeland, Honig, Plecki, & Portin, 2010) and to impact student, teacher, and leader performance in districts where systemic reconfiguration purposefully disrupts current practice to create a new structure of coherent and aligned district and building systems to ensure success for all students (Chandler & Frank, 2015).

Blueprint

INSTRUCTIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE

This system is concerned with implementing and supporting a vision of high quality, ambitious subject specific instruction to impact student/teacher performance in districts where systemic reconfiguration purposefully disrupts current practice to create a new structure of coherent and aligned district and building systems to ensure success for all students (Chandler & Frank, 2015).

Blueprint

INTENSE STUDENT SUPPORT NETWORK

In districts where systemic reconfiguration disrupts current practice and creates a new structure of coherent and aligned district and building systems to ensure success for all students, this system is concerned with implementing and supporting a vision of high quality student support to effectively nurture and support all students who come to school with non-academic needs that create obstacles for high achievement (Chandler, Frank, & Henry, 2015).
