District Assistance Team (DAT)

A District Assistance Team (DAT) is an external team comprised of specially trained district and university personnel, which serves as an invaluable resource for a school in School Improvement and/ or with a Comprehensive School Reform Program (CSRP) grant that needs additional assistance and support in its efforts to improve student achievement. The DAT functions throughout the improvement process - planning, implementing, and evaluating. The DAT is responsible not only for leading the needs assessment, but also for interfacing and collaborating with the School Improvement Team (SIT) in implementing and evaluating improvement activities.
