REL Central Mentoring Study
As part of a three-organization group which now operates the federal education laboratory for the central region of the country (REL Central), APA is leading a study to understand the impacts of an innovative program which utilizes retired master educators to serve as mentors to new teachers in high need elementary schools.  The study, which will commence this summer in the Aurora Public School District in Colorado, will utilize a randomized control trial with control and treatment groups to understand the program's impact over two years on student and teacher performance and teacher retention.  For more information, please contact APA's Dale DeCesare at 720-227-0089 or dmd@apaconsulting.net.

 Testimonials

"The Costing-Out Report that APA conducted at the direction of the Pennsylvania General Assembly is the basis for a state law that now calculates an adequacy target for each school district.  APA's quality work across the nation provided essential credibility that helped advance our progress in Pennsylvania, and the firm's willingness to tirelessly explain the process and results of the Costing-Out Report to inform elected officals and the public were greatly appreciated."
-Governor Edward Rendell,
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
