Northwest Regional Education Service District (NWRESD) serves schools and districts in four counties in northwestern Oregon. They formed a 9th grade success network of 31 high schools in their region that connected schools to one another, and strengthened the teaming and efficacy of adults in schools, in service of keeping students on-track to graduate. In 2019 NWRESD was selected as a Spotlight on Quality in Continuous Improvement honoree because of its efforts to enhance interagency collaboration to make measurable improvement on a state-level education policy priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn more<\/strong><\/a> about the work of the Northwest Regional Education Service District and view NWRESD leaders presenting their work at the Carnegie Foundation\u2019s Spotlight on Quality in Continuous Improvement Symposium on November 21, 2019 in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Carnegie Foundation launched the Spotlight on Quality in Continuous Improvement program in 2017 to elevate clear and compelling examples of how the rigorous application of improvement principles, methods, processes, and tools solve educational problems. Each honoree has demonstrated quality in the enactment of improvement principles, methods, and tools applied to significant problems in education or to transform their educational systems or organizations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
