About Us
TurnAround Schools was founded by Jeff King and Damen Lopez on two principles:
- All children, even those who live in poverty or who are learning English, can be academically successful and attend college.
- Public K-8 schools have to power to make that dream a reality.
Our mission is to empower educators with proven strategies to fulfill these principles. We can help your school implement these strategies. We are successful at what we do.
TurnAround Schools organizes institutes where teachers and principals from remarkable schools share how they coax impressive success from at-risk learners. Your teachers will find newfound optimism for the potential of all their students, and solid strategies that can be put into place the next day.
Additionally, TurnAround Schools associates provide direct, personalized assistance to schools and districts with on-site training. They help teachers and administrators develop strategies to:
- increase the academic achievement of students in every subgroup, and
- boost teacher engagement and morale.
