Sharing Best Practices and InnovationsCurrently, MCPSA is engaged in a federally-funded, 3-year endeavor, Keeping the Promise, the Massachusetts Charter School Dissemination and Replication Project (KTP). Through KTP, MCPSA is studying 5 high-performing urban schools, documenting their keys to success, producing a book and films, and offering study tours. The goal is documentation, dissemination, and replication of critical and common practices. For more information on KTP, visit the News and Events panel of our Web site's front page, and watch these pages for updates. In the past, MCPSA worked in two major ways to share the best practices and innovations of Massachusetts charter public schools: Through a U.S. DOE grant to document and share exemplary whole school models, and through the MCPSA Fellowship Program, which highlighted the best practices of individual fellows. The federally funded MCPSA Exemplary Whole School Model Dissemination Program enabled MCPSA to provide grants to Massachusetts charter public schools, so they could document the combination of factors that made their schools successful. The MCPSA Fellowship Program provided stipends to individuals—teachers, administrators, and trustees—enabling them to document specific and innovative classroom and administrative practices. The papers are posted on this site, and authors presented their work at the Annual MCPSA Best Practices and Innovations Showcase.
