NCDPI Launches $25 Million Initiative to Improve School Improvement with Golden LEAF Foundation Support
"The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction unveiled a $25 million initiative today, funded by the Golden LEAF Foundation, aimed at improving school performance through innovative educational strategies. The announcement was made during the State Board of Education meeting, and the board will hold its vote on two contracts and a Request for Proposals (RFP) to support the work of the grant on Thursday.
The Golden LEAF Schools Initiative is a five-year comprehensive and innovative approach to educational improvement, targeting school culture, pedagogy, leadership, math instruction and career readiness.
'The Golden LEAF Schools Initiative is an important step toward achieving my vision: ensuring every child in North Carolina’s public schools achieves educational excellence,' said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Maurice 'Mo' Green. 'In order for North Carolina’s public schools to become the best in the country, we must rethink how we approach teaching and learning, and we must provide our schools with the appropriate support to do so.'"
