PROMOTING EXEMPLARY MODELS AND IDEAS

    Blue Ribbon Schools celebrates many of America's most successful schools. A Blue Ribbon flag waving overhead has become a trademark of excellence, a symbol of quality recognized by everyone from parents to policy-makers in thousands of communities.
    The National Awards Program for Model Professional Development recognizes and rewards schools and school districts with exemplary professional development programs and disseminates information about high-quality professional development efforts that provide evidence of student learning and increased teacher effectiveness.
    The Knowledge Loom allows you to view stories about best practices in real schools, review research on these practices, learn about replication, add your own questions and stories, participate in online discussions and events, and discover supporting organizations and resources. The initial focus of this prototype "best practices online" system is professional development, with literacy, technology, and other topics to follow.
