FOCUS Services for Operational Schools

FOCUS offers a variety of services to support existing charter schools. We offer individual consulting to schools, specifically around data and performance management. We also partner with many local and national organizations to provide a series of workshops for school leaders and teachers on the latest trends and innovations in education.  We serve as the local resource hub by connecting school leaders to charter support organizations.  

 

We organize the annual DC Data Summit, which provides an opportunity for traditional and charter school teachers and leaders to learn from and with one another about best practices in performance management.  Finally, we provide a community listserv for charter leaders to post questions and concerns to one another, and we use these listservs to keep the charter community informed of charter-specific news and events.
