Main Street, Suite 500  \nPortland, Oregon 97204  \n[www.educationnorthwest.org](www.educationnorthwest.org)  \nIn 2014, state and national leaders found many aspects of turning around America’s lowperforming schools even more daunting than in the previous year. These views were revealed in the Center on School Turnaround’s (CST’s) 2014 February/March survey of school turnaround leaders in State Education Agencies (SEA) and directors of the nation’s technical assistance Comprehensive Centers (CCs). The federal government has defined several principles for supporting school turnaround; but several years into implementation, the survey still showed that states needed to increase their supports. While some state services are in place, leaders reported that influencing districts and schools can be challenging.  \nThe key for SEAs is recognizing the windows of opportunity to influence each of the areas [important to school turnaround]. Keeping districts engaged and accountable for the  \nschools is a key. (CC director)  \nJust as SEAs must find “windows of opportunity” to assist with school turnaround, national agencies must identify windows of opportunities to guide and enhance these state efforts.  \nBackground and Purpose of this Document  \nThis document is an excerpt of an annual CST report by their external evaluator, Education Northwest, a nonprofit research, evaluation, and technical assistance organization. The CST isone of seven national content centers funded by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) . Launched in October 2012, the CST’s assists SEAs and CCs with school turnaround. Education Northwest has prepared this excerpt for ED’s Office of School Turnaround (OST) . It focuses on state needs for assistance with federal turnaround principles that OST supports.  \nSurvey Administration and Analysis  \nTo conduct the survey, the CST provided Education Northwest with a list of SEA contacts and CC contacts. Ultimately, the sample included responses from at least one contact in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and at least one contact in each CC, although not all SEA and CC leaders contacted actually responded. Therefore, 100 percent of states and 100 percent of CC are represented.  \nFor items about school turnaround needs, practices, and policies, we limited the analysis to a single representative (i.e. average) response for each SEA and each CC, so that the survey would provide a national view with each state and region represented equally, regardless of the number of participants who responded to the survey.  \nWindows of National Opportunity: An Excerpt from the CST Report on State Supports for School Turnaround 1  \nSchool Turnaround Needs Remain High Across the Nation  \nThe CST focuses on 14 areas of school turnaround that CST leaders identified through research reviews and practical experience as important to suc","cbCaibIjwN8aMmSp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibIjwN8aMmSp","pdf",387539,"English","# Background and Purpose of this Document\n# Survey Administration and Analysis\n# School Turnaround Needs Remain High Across the Nation\n## Key priority areas for assistance\n## Additional needs raised in open-ended responses\n## Table 1: Percentages of SEAs and CCs Reporting State Needs","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this document?\",\"answer\":\"It is an excerpt from an annual CST report prepared by Education Northwest for ED’s Office of School Turnaround, focusing on state needs for assistance tied to federal school-turnaround principles.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the 2014 survey administered and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"CST supplied Education Northwest with SEA and CC contact lists, and responses were used to represent all 50 states plus the District of Columbia and other territories.
