    PEAKparent
    The SWIFT Center aims to assist districts and schools in transforming to achieve equity and excellence for all students. Its mission is supported by recognizing individual student needs, unifying general and special education, and establishing effective distributed leadership with a common vision. The Center will rely on a national faculty of technical assistance consultants to provide hands-on support to teachers, administrators, and families in implementing critical SWIFT features. Initial data from White Church Elementary School and two additional districts show improvements in standardized test scores and reductions in achievement gaps for students with IEPs after adopting the SWIFT framework.
