Main Street, Suite 500  \nPortland, Oregon 97204  \n[www.educationnorthwest.org](www.educationnorthwest.org)  \nThe Lay of the Land  \nState Practices and Needs for Supporting School Turnaround  \nThe nation is experiencing a seismic change in assistance for low-achieving schools. In the past, many education policies focused on incremental school-improvement efforts for lots of schools. Now, leaders are shifting to a concentrated, intensive school turnaround for targeted schools. Several federal policies reflect this change, as seen in new federal guidance on school turnaround efforts to states receiving waivers to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), and in federal guidance for Race to the Top grantees. To help states make the shift successfully, the federal government created the new Center on School Turnaround (CST), as part of the national network of comprehensive centers.  \nThe goal of the CST is to provide technical assistance on research-based practices and emerging promising practices that will increase the capacity of states to support their districts in turning around the lowest-performing schools. When the CST opened its doors in October 2012, it began its work by asking the question: In what areas of school turnaround do states need assistance?  \nTo help CST answer this question, Education Northwest, the CST’s external evaluator, administered an online survey to state education agencies (SEAs) in January and February 2013 as part of ongoing formative evaluation of the CST. The survey questions asked about state practices for school turnaround, as well as about state needs for assistance. Survey respondents included SEA staff members with responsibilities for school turnaround efforts. Ultimately, the survey included at least one respondent from all  \n50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa Department of Education, the Bureau of Indian Education, and the U.S. Virgin Islands; 100 percent of states are represented in the results of this report.1  \nIn this report, we provide initial frequencies for survey items related to three issues:  \n1) Levels of implementation of various aspects of school turnaround principles  \n2) Types of state support currently provided  \n3) Areas of state need for assistance with turnaround efforts  \nUnless otherwise noted, in cases where there was more than one respondent from a state, we calculated the mean and rounded up at 0.5 and above. In December 2013, we will provide a full CST evaluation report with more complete analysis of this survey data, as well as additional data about the CST.  \n1 CST provided a list of participants. During the process, 10 contacts were removed from the list, while 11 were added, making a total of 176 possible participants. Of these 176, 85 responded, yielding a response rate of 48 percent.  \nState Practices and Needs for Supporting School Turnaround 3  \nHow Fully are States Implementing Turnaround Principles?  \nThe U.S. Department of Education (ED) has defined several school “turnaround principles.” ESEA waivers require districts, in states with waivers, to implement these principles in low-performing schools, and states assist districts with these efforts. School districts receiving federal School Improvement Grants also address these principles.
