The Payne School Model is a comprehensive, research based approach to
success in schools that meets the requirements set under the Federal No
Child Left Behind Act. The Model is based on the trainings, A
Framework for Understanding Poverty, Learning Structures,
and Meeting Standards and Raising Test Scores and focused on
small group technical assistance to embed proven concepts and
strategies into daily practice. The Model has been successfully
implemented across the country. In addition to the results listed below,
Dr. William Swan, Ed.D., Professor Emeritus, University of Georgia, Educational Leadership Associates,
is conducting ongoing evaluation in several schools.

The University of Georgia, has been completed. Holmes, along with four other reviewers, concluded that the design
employed in these studies was appropriate, the statistical tests were well chosen and clearly reported, and the author’s
conclusions followed directly from the obtained results.

What Others Say:
First-hand reports from individuals who have used the Payne School Model.
"We received our state test scores, and our students who were at 30% in literacy are now at
50%, which is a 20-point gain in a year! In math, our students made a 9-point gain.
We’re celebrating thanks to aha! Process!"
