A View from the Bottom Up: School-Based Systemic Reform in California. Volume 2: Ten Profiles.
Carlos, Lisa; And Others
This document, the second of two volumes, contains individual profiles of 10 schools that participated in California's Every Student Succeeds (ESS) reform initiative. The ESS initiative created a network of schools to promote change efforts aimed at improving learning for at-risk students. The first phase of the study looked broadly at school restructuring, and the second phase focused in more detail on issues related to systemic reform and serving diverse student populations. The progress of the 10 schools was followed over a 3-year period. Data were obtained from individual and focus-group interviews with key groups: principals/administrators; regular classroom and special-population teachers and aides; student-support staff; and district staff. Other methods included classroom observations and followup telephone interviews with principals. Each school profile describes the efforts undertaken and challenges faced while restructuring to ensure success for every student. The volume highlights each school's key features, district and community contexts, major restructuring strategies, school definitions and measurements of success, and the key lessons learned for each effort. A list of key terms, 30 tables, and an appendix containing examples of useful school practices are included. (LMI)
