	The ALeRT Learning Centers (Accelerated Learning, culturally Responsive Teaching) offer a multi-dimensional approach to transforming high-poverty schools into high-achieving learning centers. ALeRT is not prescriptive approach to school reform. It is a performance-based process, broadly adaptive to the unique needs of individual schools and communities. ALeRT provides a comprehensive program of school restructuring, high quality professional development, student support, and community engagement. It builds upon the strengths that students bring to the classroom, linking student background and abilities with rigorous academic content within a context of teacher empowerment.
