Building Capacity in Military-Connected Schools

Building Capacity is a partnership between eight military-connected school districts and USC. Funded by a $7.6 million grant from the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), the project is creating sustainable and replicable infrastructures for data-driven models of responsive and supportive schools. Staff, students, and parents are being empowered to use evidence to improve school climate for military students. Visit our site @ http://buildingcapacity.usc.edu/
