The portfolio strategy is a method for continuously improving educational opportunities in urban K-12 school systems.[1] The strategy entails managing a portfolio of schools by separating school oversight from school operations and by holding a school's status as contingent, rather than permanent, based on the school's performance.[2][3]
The portfolio strategy in practice can be reduced to seven interrelated components: choice, autonomy, talent, varied supports, accountability, funding, and public engagement.[4]
Several education systems have adopted a portfolio strategy, including New Orleans,[5] Hartford,[6] Cleveland,[7] Baltimore,[8] Lawrence,[9] and Denver.[10]
