Colorado Trailblazer Schools to Watch program is part of a national force in middle grades education. The National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform identifies high-performing middle grades schools that are academically excellent, responsive to the developmental challenges of young adolescents, and socially equitable holding high expectations for all students. Schools chosen are then charged with the responsibility to work with other schools around their state to raise the level of student achievement for all middle level grade students. Sites selected as Schools to Watch exemplify the National Forum’s vision articulated in an easy-to-use, research-based assessment framework detailing practices identifiable in exemplary middle level schools. The purpose of this organization is to help Colorado middle level schools utilize the powerful Schools to Watch framework in order to maximize their own school improvement endeavors. The Colorado Trailblazer Schools to Watch initiative is part of the Colorado Association of Middle Level Education (CAMLE).
