HOW TO BECOME A COMER SDP SCHOOL The following is a description of the two types of schools associated with the Comer SDP implementation process in Prince George's County Public Schools: Comer SDP Network Schools - These are schools that are making every effort to faithfully implement the Comer SDP (in Racially Non-Diverse schools in Prince George's County, Comer SDP is the court-mandated model of comprehensive school reform).  Ideally, Network Schools will have direct facilitation by a Comer facilitator approximately one day a week.   Network Schools collect data on the level and effects of Comer SDP implementation and will be a part of any formal study of "Comer Schools" conducted by the school system or Yale Child Study Center Comer SDP. To become a Comer SDP Network School, please contact the Comer SDP office at (301) 552-4294 or at comer@pgcps.org to request an "Essentials of Understanding - Collaboration Agreement" document. Comer SDP Affiliate Schools - These schools receive "indirect facilitation" by contacting the Comer SDP office for on-site services as needed, as well as registering representative stakeholders for Comer SDP orientations and other training sessions.  Affiliate Schools would not be expected to participate in any formal study of "Comer Schools," although the collection of data on the level and effects of Comer SDP implementation provides significant school improvement information. To become a Comer SDP Affiliate School, please contact the Comer Office at (301) 552-4294 or at comer@pgcps.org to request an " Essentials of Understanding - Collaboration Agreement" document as well as to register members of your staff for the various Comer SDP training sessions.     New Comer SDP Schools and Districts - Newly interested schools and districts wishing to implement the Comer SDP must contact the National Comer SDP Office located in the Yale University Medical School's Child Study Center, New Haven Connecticut.  Contacting Dr. Ann Levett-Lowe, Deputy Executive Director of the Comer SDP will provide access to contract information for new schools and districts.
