District Data Digest
CT3 works with over 200 schools across the country to support schools to better serve youth. Here’s a look at some of our partnerships that support the schools’ and districts’ significant improvement goals
Launching for Impact
Indianapolis Public Schools, Indianapolis, IN
CT3 has been partnering with Indianapolis Public Schools since 2021. Based on the data IPS shared regarding student achievement results from SY2122 and projected proficiency for SY2223 based on NWEA data, here are some of the biggest takeaways related to CT3’s work:
- CT3 partner schools are outperforming other district schools in the “Emerging Zone” cohort
- In many cases, our partner schools are outperforming the IPS district averages
- We are seeing clear correlations between Instructional Strategy targeting a particular content and student learning within that same content (Math)
“Real Time Teacher Coaching has positively impacted teacher practice in more ways than one. By far the most significant impact has been increased engagement and decreased behaviors.”
-Shauna Lipscomb, Real Time Teacher Coach

High Expectations, Dramatic Gain
Success Academy Harlem 4 In New York City
In 2010, CT3 worked with all Success Academy Schools, a rapidly growing charter management organization in New York City. CT3 began an 18-month engagement with the principal of Success Academy Harlem 4 just after she took her position at the school.
The school was the lowest-performing in the network. The culture was one that lacked high expectations for youth, the staff and administration did not trust one another, and families often conveyed distrust. The new principal’s goals for 2010 were clear and ambitious: create a schoolwide culture of high expectations and engender family buy-in in order to ensure a marked improvement in student achievement.
CT3 partnered with the school to train teachers on the No-Nonsense Nurturer® method then develop campus coaches’ capacity to use Real Time Teacher Coaching® to support teachers in their implementation of the NNN strategies.
Key results from this partnership included a dramatic increase in on-task behavior measures from an average of 73% to 95%+ across classrooms. The school moved from the lowest to the highest in the Success network on network-wide “Quality of Education Culture” metrics
The school also made consistent academic gains both on internal network benchmarks as well as the New York standardized exams:
- 3rd Grade Ela – 88% proficient
- 3rd Grade Math – 98% proficient
- 4th Grade Ela – 89% proficient
- 4th Grade Math – 97% proficient
- 4th Grade Science – 100% proficient
“The No-Nonsense Nurturer® approach has transformed my teachers’ classroom management… when you walk into their classrooms you now see learning taking place 100% of the time!”
