DePue Middle and High School (Grades 6-12) began the Focused Instruction Process in December, 2010 and January, 2011 with a initial four day workshop for the school leadership team facilitated by Patricia Davenport, author of "Closing the Achievement Gap-No Excuses" and SLI staff members: Terezka Jirasek and Karen Morris. The workshop was designed to provide the school administration and teacher leaders the opportunity to become familiar with the 8-step process, develop an Action Plan for implementation, review school data, identify gaps in student achievement, design an instructional calendar based on the Illinois State and College Readiness Standards and select assessments that provide data on student mastery.

Implementation of the Process began across the entire Middle and High School in late January 2011. Instructional Focus Lessons in English/Language Arts and Mathematics were taught on a daily basis, mini-assessments were administered on a scheduled basis and Success Time provided students with tutorials and enrichment on the skills they had been taught.
