There are a number of proven methods for schools to utilize for achieving high academic standards for its students. There are also some promising techniques to overcoming challenges for those student populations whom historical have been under achieving.  It will not be how you do it that brings recognition but whether you can show the students are achieving academically.

I am projecting that for the next 10 years education will be one of the largest growth areas in the nonprofit sector.  This means if your in education and your students are failing that it is time for drastic change or close your doors.  For those who have been thinking about moving into education now is the time to implement that plan.  The first goal should be a high school diploma for every student.  The second goal should be an associate degree for every student.  Anything short of these two goals is to admit that the student will most likely lead a life of economic struggle.

Massachusetts, while strict in its approval of charter schools, is a good model to look to because it has created many high performing schools.
