Memphis City Schools, TN
MEMPHIS CITY SCHOOLS:
In the 2008-09 school year, EPIC will award educators in 13 to 16 MCS schools, thus likely impacting up to 16 principals, 16 assistant principals, 620 teachers, and 8,500 students. Schools participating in EPIC will have at least 50 percent of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.
Like other award models, the EPIC model of differentiated compensation recognizes the paramount importance of student achievement performance in evaluating educators. What makes EPIC unique, however, is that awards are provided to educators in exchange for sharing their effective practices with other educators in their school, district, and nationwide. EPIC provides the leadership opportunity for spotlighted educators to make available to their colleagues those practices that contributed to the achievement gains made by their students. Led by SchoolWorks, Effective Practice Teams visit award-winning schools to identify practices for documentation and sharing based on protocols developed with MCS. Such practices cover a broad spectrum of topics and may include curricular and instructional strategies, allocation of resources within a school, and professional development approaches. Through this practice-sharing focus, EPIC aspires to improve student achievement both in our partner districts and charter schools and in other districts and charter schools throughout the country
