Washington, D.C.

Turnaround for Children began its work in Washington, D.C. in 2010. Since then, it has expanded its relationship with DC Public Schools (DCPS) to include districtwide initiatives. In July 2019, Turnaround facilitators and content designers created and delivered eight hours of learning experiences for more than 600 DCPS school leaders, including principals, assistant principals, instructional coaches and teacher leaders from preK-12 at the 2019 DCPS Summer Leadership Institute.

In 2016, Turnaround established a partnership with KIPP DC to provide training and consulting systemwide. In addition, Turnaround is partnering directly with two KIPP DC schools: KIPP DC AIM Academy and KIPP DC Quest Academy.

By training, coaching and providing support to over 180 school leaders representing 46 schools, Turnaround will equip more than 2,200 educators to create healthy learning environments and catalyze academic success for approximately 18,000 students in Washington, D.C. this year alone. Our district and network leader training will enable more than 60 district leaders to implement Turnaround’s Vision for School and Student Success in another 89 schools, impacting an additional 38,000 students and 4,000 educators.
