Among the 35 schools identified this year are 23 high schools and 12 elementary schools. The high schools include ten vocational technical, one charter, and one pilot school.
The 2007 Compass Schools received a $2,500 award. During their year as Compass Schools, the Department will gather information on key conditions in place at the schools, including instructional leadership, school year and day schedules, interdisciplinary curricula and project based learning, teacher training, and student engagement.
