Schools That Can Milwaukee works to expand and develop high-quality schools in Milwaukee. To achieve our vision of “20,000 by 2020,” STCM pursues three Pathways to Transformation.

1. Expand High-Quality Milwaukee Schools

Schools That Can Milwaukee works with school and community leaders to establish a shoot-for-the-stars vision and an action plan for growth. We then serve as advocate, connector, and cheerleader to raise community awareness of successful schools, connect schools with the resources necessary for expansion, and knock down barriers.

2. Develop High-Potential Schools into High-Quality Schools

Schools That Can Milwaukee serves as an indispensable resource to school leadership teams, providing continuous, customized, and intensive onsite coaching to Principals, Instructional Leaders, Deans, and Lead Teachers. In addition, our organization leads peer-to-peer visits to high-quality schools, monthly professional development sessions, and cross-sector communication about curriculum, assessment, building school culture, and personal leadership.

3. Recruit Talent and Innovation for Milwaukee

Schools That Can Milwaukee recruits strong leaders, high-quality national charter school networks, and non-profits to bring innovative ideas and practices to our city. In addition, our organization works to identify and develop Milwaukee’s homegrown talent.
