Over the years, the relationship has deepened and expanded to include direct partnerships with districts who are engaging in NCEE’s System Design Benchmarking (SDB) offering. This experience is focused on:  \n• studying the core principles and characteristics of the world’s top-performing education systems;  \n• analyzing the district system structures, processes, incentives, and supports; and  \n• determining what changes need to be made at the local level to transform, align, and bring coherence to the work of each district—and generate improved student outcomes.  \nUnfolding theSDB Journey  \nThis profile features the SDB experiences of the Whitehall-Coplay School District (WCSD) . Identified as visionary and forward-leaning by NCEE facilitators, the district is demonstrating a systems approach with the overarching goal of ensuring the success of all students. The SDB program engaged participants in challenging conversations, facilitated shifts in the educational framework of the district, and fostered a transformation in the mindset of educators. Since the conclusion of the program, the district has continued to apply and adapt the learning by integrating a range of insights gained from the collaborative experience with education stakeholders.  \nWe conducted interviews with participants and NCEE facilitators, reviewed session evaluation responses, and analyzed learning artifacts generated in the sessions. The interviews involved the superintendent, a district director, a teacher, and a school psychologist.  \nThe following provides a summary of interview feedback around the question:  \nWhat distinguishes NCEE’sSDB from other programs?  \nThe content is grounded in research, supported by data with an evidence-based approach. A rigorous framework and system-focused approach reorient the perspectives and mindsets of the participants.  \nThe sessions are structured to engage participants in a discourse on systems design.  \nCollaboration across roles, positions, and schools leads to new relationships and networking.  \nFacilitators employ a Socratic method, guiding participants through questions and difficult conversations. Throughout the course, there is a balance between theories and practical applications reflecting each district’s context.  \nWhitehall-Coplay School District  \nWhitehall-Coplay School District (WCSD) has been actively involved in the SDB since 2021 and is preparing for its fifth cohort this summer. Made up of three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school the district is geographically portrayed as a mix of urban and suburban areas, with high-density housing and subdivisions with single-family housing. Superintendent Robert Steckel noted that the district consists of a diverse population with multiple ethnic and social groups with different backgrounds. According to the  Future Ready PA Index, 1 in the 2022–23 academic year there were 4,116 enrolled students. The two largest race/ethnicity groups are White students (44 . 3%) and Hispanic students (36 . 5%) . In the district, 57. 7% of the students are economically disadvantaged, 8% are English language learners, and 15. 9% are receiving special education.
