Best Practices  \nA Primer for State Entity Grantees of the U.S. Department of Education’s Charter School Programs  \nU.S. Department of Education December 2021  \nThe National Charter School Resource Center (NCSRC) provides technical assistance to federal grantees and resources supporting charter sector stakeholders working across the charter school life cycle. NCSRC is funded by the U.S. Department of Education and managed by Manhattan Strategy Group in partnership with WestEd.  \nThis resource was produced by NCSRC for the use of Charter School Programs State Entity grantees.  \nThis publication was produced in whole or in part with funds from the U.S. Department of Education under contract number GS10F0201T. The content does not necessarily reflect the position or policy of the U.S. Department of Education, nor does mention of trade names, commercial products, or organizations imply endorsement by the federal government.  \nAbout This Primer  \nThe Charter School Programs (CSP) State Entities (SE) grant’s primary goal is “to award grants to state entities to enable them to award subgrants to eligible applicants to enable such eligible applicants to open and prepare for the operation of new charter schools and to replicate and expand high-quality charter schools.”1 Another purpose of the grant is to share best practices between charter schools and other public schools to help improve struggling schools and local education agencies (LEAs) throughout the state. This latter goal is often addressed by the applicant in the competitive preference priorities.  \nThis primer will outline best practices to ensure that SE grantees and their subgrantees’ best practices are shared with public schools throughout their state and beyond. It addresses two critical components to a systematic approach to best practice dissemination: 1) identifying charter school best practices and 2) sharing the best practices with the education community.  \nIdentifying Charter School Best Practices  \nThe first step to identify charter school best practices is to create a rubric or framework to evaluate subgrantee best practices that would be beneficial to share with both the charter school community and traditional public schools. The rubric or framework can be simple but should, ata minimum, document the exact practice, evidence of optimal results, suitability for widespread adoption, and potential benefit to the broader sector (i.e., rationale as noted in Figure 1) .  \nIn Identifying Promising Practices in Charter Schools: A Framework for an Evidence-based Approach, 2 the authors create a basic approach that SE grantees can use to identify promising practices, displayed in Figure 1.  \nFigure 1. Evidence-based Approach to Identifying Promising Practices  \nIdentifying and collecting best practices can be done regularly throughout the grant by checking in with subgrantees and asking questions. Questions you could ask to understand a subgrantee school’s best practices include:  \n1 FY20 Application for New Grants Under the Expanding Opportunities through Quality Charter School Programs – Grants to State Entities Program.
