Inside Urban Charter Schools by Dr. Kay Mersethguestea9d9b
The document summarizes a study of five successful urban charter schools in Massachusetts. The schools were found to share key factors for their success, including a clear mission and strong institutional culture, purposefully selecting teachers and leaders who fit the school culture, and organizational structures and systems that support student learning. While the schools emphasized academic rigor and preparation for college, classroom instruction varied and sometimes focused more on memorization and lower-level thinking. The schools were very successful on state standardized tests but students' performance declined on the SAT, raising questions about preparing students for long-term success.
The document discusses EdisonLearning's partnership with six low-performing schools in the Clark County School District to help increase student achievement. It outlines EdisonLearning's School Designs model which takes a comprehensive approach to education. It then provides data showing that the partnership schools have significantly increased student achievement in reading and math over time, including for subgroups like LEP and FRL students, outpacing comparable schools. The increased achievement is attributed to factors like the school designs model, extended school day, benchmark assessments, professional development, and parent involvement.
Charter Schools USA holds an annual summit to align goals and reaffirm values among its nearly 8,000 staff and teachers.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and

TABLE OF CONTENTS
3. INTRODUCTION
Charter Schools USA (CSUSA) has been a
leader in education reform since 1997. By
August 2014 CSUSA will manage 70 schools
in Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, North Carolina,
Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.
Since the company’s inception, its mission
has been to put students first!
4. THE CSUSA MISSION
Our mission is to ensure that all of our students achieve their
academic potential and become responsible and productive
members of society.
We bring an unwavering dedication to student achievement and an
unyielding commitment to ethical and sound business practices.
5. JONATHAN HAGE
Strongprogressbutourwork is never complete!
Note from
Charter Schools USA has been on the frontlines of the education reform movement for 17 years.
During that time, our organization has worked tirelessly to provide parents a high-quality choice for
their child’s education.
Unlike traditional public schools, charter schools have to demonstrate success in order to stay open.
Legally, we are held to a higher level of accountability. Publically, we are held to a higher level of scrutiny.
Internally, we have clearly defined, high standards for academic excellence, personal growth and social
development incorporated into our curriculum across all grades. Morally, we have a responsibility to
provide students a high-quality education that prepares them for their future.
Last year in the State of Florida, CSUSA managed three early stage schools: Renaissance Charter School
at Chickasaw Trail; Woodmont Charter School and Manatee Charter School.
As school grades were released in 2013, critics and headlines diminshed the performance of these
schools even though CSUSA had only managed them for one or two years. Inside CSUSA we saw data
and trend lines that were evident of change and progress. We were confident in our model and
today I am proud to report that each of these schools has received a passing grade
and are making strong gains. Despite these gains, we have more work to do.
Many times the students we enroll from the district are several years below grade average. Although this
makes for a greater challenge, our network has been been successful at helping these students grow
academically and achieve greater individual educational outcomes. This is an important service that
charters and other school alternatives can provide. When parents and students are failed by the
traditional system, it is our hope and our mission that we can fill the void and solve the issue.
In fact, every one of the schools we manage has increased its academic performance
over time and closed the achievement gap, especially for low-income students.
There’s still more to be done, and we will work everyday to provide teachers with strategies and resources
to be successful. We will fight in every community to ensure that parents and students have a choice.
Great By Choice,
Jonathan Hage
6. CSUSA
EDUCATION MODEL
At CSUSA we have clearly defined, high standards for academic excellence,
personal growth and social development incorporated into our curriculum, across
all grades.
These standards address the content that we expect our students to master as well
as the skills they need to acquire in order to be productive members of our local
and global society. Those skills include problem solving and critical thinking – areas
where U.S. public school students fall alarmingly far behind their international peers.
We assess performance of our students against objective measures and constantly
use the data to inform further instruction.
CSUSA’s Education Model is based on the following:
ACCREDITATION | CSUSA is the first education management organization
in the nation to receive full system-wide accreditation through AdvancED.
TARGETED INSTRUCTION | Improvement requires an understanding of what
is working and what is not – at the individual student level.
RESEARCH-BASED EDUCATIONAL STRATEGIES | Our philosophy is that
every child can learn given the appropriate learning tools and relevant teaching
strategies.
OUTSTANDING EDUCATORS | When all factors are considered, the teacher
has the single, greatest impact on a child’s development. This is why attracting and
retaining the finest educators is a top priority for CSUSA.
PARENT INVOLVEMENT | Recognizing the role the family plays in a child’s
academic and social development, we engage parents in the learning process.
Parents contribute at least 20 hours of service to their school every year.
WELL-ROUNDED STUDENTS | Superior educational models recognize the
importance of developing the whole child with parental involvement. CSUSA’s
curriculum also incorporates a character development program.

14. READING
Chickasaw’s reading proficiency this year remained stable at the school level with 47% of students earning
proficient scores. Many students made above average gains and we anticipate that student learning gains,
especially those of the lowest 25%, will reflect these improvements.
The average scale score gain school-wide was nine points, with the average 4th grader gaining 11 scale
score points!
MATH
Chickasaw improved its math proficiency scores school wide by an average of 10 percentage points.
This growth rate exceeded Orange County by eight percentage points. Math proficiency did not
improve at the state level.
Chickasaw is still below the district average school wide, by 14 percentage points. We do anticipate
that Chickasaw’s learning gains, and higher than average math growth, reflect the improvements in
student performance.
The average school-wide scale score gain was 12 points and most grade levels saw average gains in the
double digits.
SCIENCE
Chickasaw improved its 5th grade science performance by 15 percentage points, compared to the two
percentage point increase at the district level and one percent increase state-wide. With 38% of students
achieving proficiency, Chickasaw improved at a rate of 65%!
Chickasaw science is still 19 percentage points below the Orange County 5th grade average and 16 points
below the state 5th grade average.
WRITING
Chickasaw 4th graders raised its writing scores by 35 percentage points in 2014. Orange County raised 4th
gradewritingbyonepercentagepoint,whilestate-wide4thgradewritingwentdownbyfourpercentagepoints.
On top of the substantial growth achieved by Chickasaw 4th graders, they out-performed both the state and
district in proficiency with 74% of 4th graders scoring a 3.5 or higher. This represents an 18 point advantage
over Orange County 4th graders and a 21 point advantage over 4th graders state-wide!
Chickasaw’s 74% proficiency rate also exceeded many neighboring schools (Union Park, Azalea Park, Pinar,
Little River and Chickasaw Elementary), most by double digits (average 17 point advantage).

15. WOODMONT CASESTUDY
READING
Woodmont increased its average proficiency from last year by nine percentage points. This growth
rate exceeded that of Hillsborough County who had only a two percentage point increase. Woodmont also
exceeded the state of Florida’s one percentage point of growth. At the elementary level (3rd through 5th
grade) proficiency increased by over 10 percentage points (not shown).
The average student at Woodmont increased their scale score by almost 12 points in reading, enough to
qualify for learning gains at most grade levels (among Level 1s and Level 2s).
MATH
School-wide, Woodmont raised its math proficiency by an average of 18 percentage points, from 24%
proficient in 2013 to 40% proficient in 2014. Every grade level increased their proficiency, with 3rd, 4th
and 7th improving by over 20 percentage points each. This proficiency growth greatly exceeded both
the state and Hillsborough County. Woodmont will continue their rigorous math instruction to ensure
continued gains in 2015.
The average student at Woodmont increased their scale score by 16 points in math, enough to qualify
for learning gains at any grade level in math (among Level 1s and Level 2s).
SCIENCE
Science proficiency improved by an average of 12 percentage points from 2013 to 2014, almost seven
times that of Hillsborough County and six times that of the state of Florida. Despite the significant growth
demonstrated this year, science will continue to be a focus at Woodmont to ensure that students meet the
standards of their peers.
WRITING
4th grade writing at Woodmont increased by 15 percentage points from 2013 to 2014, almost meeting
the state average. In 2013 Woodmont’s 4th grade was 28 points behind the district average. In one year,
Woodmont made up over half of this deficit with their 15 percentage point proficiency increase. Their rate of
growth is triple that of Hillsborough county and far exceeds the state’s four percentage point drop in 4th grade.

16. MANATEE CASESTUDY
READING
Reading proficiency at Manatee Charter School increased by only one percentage point from 2013 to
2014. The average growth, school wide was 10 scale score points. Gains of this magnitude qualify as a
learning gains for most grade levels in reading. Preliminary estimates show that Manatee Charter School
will earn approximately 65 points for Reading Gains in 2014, an increase of more than 5 points from the
2013 school grade calculations.
MATH
Math scores at Manatee Charter School improved by nine percentage points from 36% proficient in
2013 to 42% proficient in 2014, making up almost half of its district and state proficiency deficit in just
one year. Growth of nine percentage points is double that of Manatee County and exceeds the stagnant
proficiency state-wide.
The average student at Manatee Charter School increased their scale score by 12 points from 2013 to
2014, enough to qualify for learning gains at almost any grade level (among Level 1s and Level 2s).
SCIENCE
While Manatee Charter School’s science proficiency was below expectations we have an opportunity for
growth in the coming year. We are intent on providing the same focus and drive for growth evident in this year’s
reading, math and writing proficiency scores.
WRITING
Among CSUSA schools, Manatee Charter School had the largest writing gains with a 49 percentage point
increase from 2013. In addition to proficiency gains, Manatee Charter School’s 62% proficient exceeded the
proficiency of state and Manatee County fourth graders. From 2013 to 2014 Manatee Charter students
more than quadrupled their writing proficiency, far exceeding the growth of Manatee County and the state.
