National
School Change Award  |
|
Description: |
Annually,
six schools across America are recognized for
having "significantly changed.” Responding to an
invitation to nominate such schools, state commissioners of
education, superintendents, national educational associations,
universities and foundations endorse candidates to be considered
for these prestigious awards. The awards are conducted and co-sponsored
by the American Association of School Administrators (AASA)
and the Fordham University Graduate School of Education. Nominated
schools measure themselves against sixteen criteria. Award winners
are selected in the spring of each academic year, with the six
winning schools gaining national recognition. Schools may nominate
themselves. |
