Background:

The Student Achievement Guarantee in Education (SAGE) program began in the 1996-1997 school year with authorization from Wisconsin Statutes, Section 118.43. The program, which was administered by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), was subsequently expanded due to the successes demonstrated by those schools that had begun the program in 1996. authorized the program.
State legislation was passed in 2015 that concluded the SAGE program and authorized the Achievement Gap Reduction (AGR) program per Wisconsin Acts 53 and 71. School districts were given the option to continue SAGE for an additional year (2015-16). Effective FY17, all schools transitioned to the Achievement Gap Reduction program.
MPS has 63 traditional schools and one non-instrumentality charter school that currently participate in the AGR program.
Milwaukee Public Schools leverages the following strategies when implementing this progam:
Instructional coaching for teachers provided by a licensed teacher in grades K5 through 3rd; and
Maintenance of 18:1 or 30:2 classroom ratios in K5 and provision of professional development in small group instruction.
The AGR program requires that each school describe its implementation of the program and report its objectives and success in achieving them to the school board every semester.
