Clark County Professional Learning Partnership (CCPL) (Historical)

The Clark County Professional Learning Partnership (CCPL) was formed to support data use and professional learning in the central office and schools of the Clark County School District (CCSD) in Nevada. CCSD is the nation’s 5th largest school district and serves a large and diverse population of students. As part of a continuing partnership, staff from the CCSD superintendent’s office, instructional office, and research department worked with REL West to support the effective dissemination and use of data, tools, and evidence to improve student outcomes. Central office staff were interested in better understanding which types of information would best help principals and teachers deliver effective student supports and help improve student outcomes, and in understanding and enacting optimal strategies for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating this information to schools. As part of this effort, a key strategy was building on previous collaborative research conducted by REL West and CCSD to develop a system for identifying and supporting students at risk of falling off track for high school graduation before they actually fall behind.
