In the Office of School Transformation, we work cohesively as a team across programs with South Carolina schools to ensure all students perform at high levels, the learning environment is innovative, stakeholders collaborate, and opportunity is the norm.

We achieve this vision by:

• Maintaining a positive view, a growth mindset, and a commitment to transformation;
• Remembering that the goal of our work is to benefit students;
• Understanding the uniqueness of the students, educators, and institutions we serve;
• Focusing on outcomes, assessment, and the effective use of data in our programs and in the field;
• Providing state-level, expert support (meaning we work to become experts ourselves through professional development and research);
• Being committed to building capacity and sustainability in our programs and in the field;
• Providing clear, planned, strong, timely, and accurate communication;
• Being personable, professional, and respectful; and
• Prioritizing partnerships and collaboration.

Although each of the eight programs in the Office of School Transformation is unique in its efforts, we believe in the common vision above and adhere to our mission. Please feel free to contact us with questions, concerns, and/or ideas. Program-specific information can be found by following the section links on this page.
