Evaluation of a Year-Round Schedule in a Rural School District.
Pittman, Robert B.; Herzog, Mary Jean Ronan
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v14 n1 p15-25 Spr 1998
Evaluation of year-round education (YRE) in a rural North Carolina school district found disruption to "sense of community;" positive attitudes among participating teachers, students, and parents (primarily based on personal scheduling preferences); but no advantages in attendance or achievement. Results suggest that decisions to use YRE should be based on community "fit," not unsubstantiated claims of educational superiority. (TD)
