High School Redesign Program
TMCF member schools are working with their local school districts to newly create and redesign low-performing high schools. The first effort in this area is the Gates/Marshall Redesign Project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Planning and implementation grants support seven new and redesigned university-assisted high schools over a five-year period.
Leadership for Educational Reform Conferences
TMCF facilitates annual technical assistance meetings, leadership conferences, and site visits during the year. College and university leaders, school district administrators, principals, and teachers are provided opportunities to convene and share success stories, teaching strategies and techniques, and engage in problem-solving exchanges. Educators also have opportunities to broaden their leadership skills in education through conferences led by national experts and practitioners in the field.
Research and Evaluation
According to a recent study, 24 TMCF member institutions are involved in some level of school reform work with their local school districts. The Fund seeks to study the levels of involvement and the actual impact of HBCU partnerships and intermediary roles in promoting and increasing achievement of targeted students in P-12. Data will be used to national report findings that suggest successful strategies and techniques used to improve academic outcomes and college-going rates for students as a product of the collaboration in which the fund serves as an intermediary for partnerships between HBCUs and local public school districts. Data will also be gathered to identify similar findings from other reform partnership projects involving member institutions, but not necessarily involving the Fund's role as the intermediary.
