Last year, the Dever-McCormack School in Dorchester MA was one of the states 35 lowest-performing schools, and therefor has been designated a "Turnaround School." The Dever-McCormack has been charged with rapidly improving student achievement through high quality instruction and staffing.

For Sarah McLaughlin, who joined the school this year as Director of Operations, one of her first challenges was assessing the facilities of the school and finding ways to make improvements that both benefited the students, and helped support and engage the school's teachers.

Sarah turned to IdeaPaint as a cost-effective way to create dynamic new learning spaces throughout the school. By resurfacing old chalkboards with IdeaPaint PRO, and through other innovative uses of the product like painted desks and a new auditorium wall, the Dever-McCormack School is giving its students and teachers new tools to collaborate, learn and actively engage one another in the classroom.
