Orange County Public Schools

The School Transformation Office is a devoted cadre and a strong proponent of the learning environments and developments for our students. We have a dedicated team which encompasses staff, teachers, coaches and administrators. With the residual challenges of learning loss from the pandemic as well as the movement from the long-standing Florida State Standards to the B.E.S.T. Benchmarks, we have made great strides to support the teaching and learning processes at our schools.

Executive Area Directors, Dr. Shelia Windom and Mrs. Raquel Flores, along with myself support and guide this department. We are all visiting schools every day and are fully engaged in the processes and procedures on the various campuses. We are looking forward to the great things our schools will accomplish.

The School Transformation Office (STO) was established in 2013 to provide strategic, centralized support based on prioritized needs. The focus of the office is to help schools function as high-performing and dedicated teams, provide training on rigor and standards-based instruction, concentrate on the individual needs of students, utilize data to drive instruction, and sustain community engagement. Additionally, the team analyzes student diagnostic and progress monitoring data to ensure resources are aligned with the cognitive demands of each learner.

School Transformation Office: Coaches in the Corner
By Lauren Roth

Being assigned to the School Transformation Office may sound scary. But it’s more like having coaches in your corner, said Rock Lake Principal Melanie Simmons.

Joining the School Transformation Office is an opportunity for schools to harness professional support and resources to improve the culture and performance at a school in a school-specific way, she said.

“It’s layers of support,” Simmons said. “I don’t want to leave STO. They’re always at the ready.”

Schools are assigned to the STO based on their overall school performance as measured by the State of Florida Grading System. The office was established in 2013 to provide strategic, centralized support above and beyond what a larger learning community can provide for an individual school. The office has 11 schools this year.
