Comprehensive
School Reform Models
Introduction
Many
National Forum members have developed or are in the
process of designing comprehensive school reform models
aimed at bringing about whole-school change. These programs
are supported, in part, by different sponsors, including
the Office of Educational Research and Improvement in
the US Department of Education, New American Schools,
and several private foundations. What makes these programs
distinctive is that they seek to bring about changes
in all facets of the school, including organization
and climate; curriculum, instruction, and assessment;
professional development; leadership; and parent/community
involvement.
Below
are several comprehensive school reform models which
are being used in middle-grades schools across the country.
Their developers are all members of the National Forum.
Where possible, we have included links to each model's
Web site.
