What: EXCEL has engaged two established researchers/ academicians (Rona M. Frederick, PhD and T'Pring R. Westbrook, PhD) to help EXCEL operationalize its four pillars in order to identify solid outcomes and develop sound evaluation practices. There is evidence that establishing sound mission based performance measures is a shortcoming of charter schools across the nation. This is a promising practice to share with other charter schools.
