Transforming Education in Rhode Island: What’s the story?
We are proud that, through our Race to the Top grant, we have brought teachers and school leaders together to work in partnership toward transforming education. We asked Rhode Island educators to reflect on work that has transformed teaching and learning in their schools. We hope you will enjoy reading these “success stories” from across our state!
Deborah A. Gist, Commissioner








Two years ago, Blackstone Academy had two new teachers who were mentored by an induction coach.


What we found surprising about our involvement in Race to the Top...

The coach was excellent, consistent, dependable and supportive. Their work complemented our supervision.



In the future, we plan to keep this going through...

We will complete our assessments and publish them, while continuing with our data-mining projects. The staff will continue to collaborate within departments and across departments.
