Implementation Schools

At Schools Cubed, we believe in the Systems, Structures, and Science of Reading.

 

We partner with schools and districts across the country to help create high performing systems of learning. These partnerships are called, “implementation or laboratory schools”. They embody our mission, to transform low, or under-performing schools into high-achieving, self-sustaining educational systems of excellence. Currently, if you have less than 70% of your students reading at grade-level, regardless of their economic status, your school is under-performing.

How it Works

Our experience indicates, and research demonstrates, that it takes three to five years to substantially change literacy outcomes for schools. We begin with a Literacy Evaluation of your school or district. Completed over a course of two days, the outcomes from this Literacy Evaluation stays becomes the roadmap for our work together.

 

Once the roadmap is completed, we pair your school(s) with one of our accomplished Schools Cubed Consultants who will be your partner through this process. (For information on the extensive backgrounds of our consultants, please visit our, Meet the Team page.)

 

The Schools Cubed Consultant will work with your school leadership—typically the principal and instructional coach, where possible, to create the systems and structures of highly effective schools. Your consultant will become the principal’s coach and, guide their school in how to improve literacy outcomes for all students

Literacy Evaluation Tool

Updated in 2023 to reflect most current research, our evaluation tool is used in hundreds of schools across the country. The rubric focuses on 6 key domains:

  • Universal instruction
  • Interventions
  • Assessments
  • Data-based Decision Making
  • School Leadership Teams
  • Professional Development

There is a cadence to this work. Typically, year one focuses on ensuring the systems and structures for quality and effective universal instruction and interventions are in place. In year two, we focus on data and small group instruction. In year three we hone in on the state standards outcomes for students, all the while coaching the principal to become an exceptional instructional leader.
