Replicating successful school models is an important strategy for scaling up the number of quality schools educating students across our country. Many successful charter operators are approaching authorizers with applications to replicate their schools, and in some cases, are seeking approval for multiple schools at the same time. A replication proposal, however, is very different from a new-operator application (from an applicant without any existing schools). Authorizers must examine and carefully evaluate the performance record, growth planning, and growth capacity of existing operators or replicators.

MEMBERS ONLYReplicating successful school models is an important strategy for scaling up the number of quality schools educating students across our country. Many successful charter operators are approaching authorizers with applications to replicate their schools, and in some cases, are seeking approval for multiple schools at the same time. A replication proposal, however, is very different from a new-operator application (from an applicant without any existing schools). Authorizers must examine and carefully evaluate the performance record, growth planning, and growth capacity of existing operators or replicators.
Building on the course: "The Charter Application Process & Decision Making: An Overview," this course will equip authorizers to develop differentiated application guidance, questions, requirements, and criteria for school replicators, to invite and be prepared to review replication proposals rigorously and appropriately. Included with the course are NACSA's new Core Resources for evaluating school replicators.
