Schools that join the "High Schools That Work (HSTW)" network are expected to show progress in changing school and classroom practices in ways that improve student achievement and readiness for postsecondary studies and careers. They are expected to focus on practices that have proven most effective in advancing student achievement. Schools and school systems participating in a "HSTW" state network agree to take purposeful actions to meet the "HSTW" Goals. To achieve a 10-year goal, schools should establish interim benchmarks on key indicators regarding changes to be made in school and classroom practices. The indicators used for the comprehensive "HSTW" framework are strongly associated with improved academic achievement. They come from "HSTW's 10" Key Practices and seven Key Conditions for accelerating student achievement. This document presents example on how to set interim benchmarks to meet the 10-year goal.
