| • Present a convincing case. In the first 10 years, more than 714 schools, from 44 different states, were nominated. The six winners each year were schools that clearly and cogently described what their school had been like before and after. Each gave dramatic examples of the changes that had been set in place and explained why they were successful in their change effort. | ||
| • While a school may nominate itself, an application is stronger if individuals or organizations outside the school are involved in the nomination process. This could be the superintendent, state officials, a professional education organization, a community group, etc. | ||
