Six MA Charter Schools Rewarded for Achievement Gains
A short note from today's Globe.
"Six Massachusetts charter schools* were among 21 nationwide singled out for recognition yesterday by a national nonprofit that analyzes charter school achievement. The Effective Practice Incentive Community, or EPIC, grant program honored Community Day Charter Public School in Lawrence, Boston Preparatory Charter Public School in Hyde Park, Roxbury Preparatory Charter School in Roxbury, Boston Collegiate Charter School in Dorchester, MATCH Charter Public School in Boston, and Prospect Hill Academy Upper School in Cambridge. The organization will give individual principals, teachers, and instructional staff from the schools awards totaling an estimated $735,000. EPIC considered 144 schools for the award."
EPIC is a program of New Leaders for New Schools that distributes U.S. Department of Education TIF (Teacher Incentive Fund) money. TIF is the same Federal program that independently funds Edward W. Brooke Charter School's performance bonus program (which you can read more about here.)
According to the NLNS website, "EPIC award-winning schools are divided into two categories: Gold-gain schools have the highest gain; Silver-gain schools have the next highest gain. In 2009, EPIC is awarding 21 schools and distributing roughly $1.9 million in awards. Awards were based on student gains between the 2006-07 and 2007-08 school years."
