What are the benefits of reorganizing as a CommPACT School?
CommPACT Schools create an empowering and more trusting work environment for teachers and administrators. This accomplishes two things that together create better student learning conditions. Because teachers and administrators are integral parts of CommPACT Schools’ development, planning and decision making structures, a greater sense of shared vision, mission, and ownership enhance the teaching and learning experience. Because research has shown that the attraction and retention of teachers is linked to whether teachers are able to share in the school-level decisions that affect the students they teach, the CommPACT School model is better able to attract and retain highly qualified teachers – especially in the urban areas where such schools will develop first.
