School Improvement Grant
In April of 2010, Waubun High School was identified by the Minnesota Department of Education as a candidate for a School Improvement Grant. The school intervention model selected was one of transformation. This model was selected to effect rapid improvement while making the most of existing resources and addressing the four recommendations within the U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Science's Practice Guide: Turning Around Chronically Low-Performing Schools:
• Signal the need for dramatic change with strong leadership;
• Maintain a consistent focus on improved instruction;
• Make visible improvements early in the school turnaround process; and
• Build a committed staff.
