STUDY RATES 22 WIDELY USED COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL REFORM MODELS

A new guide using strict scientific criteria to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of 22 widely adopted comprehensive elementary school reform models rates 15 as “limited” to “moderately strong” in demonstrating positive effects on student achievement. Collectively, the reform models reviewed serve thousands of mostly high-poverty, low-performing schools nationwide. The review includes such well known models as Success for All, Accelerated Schools, Core Knowledge, Americas Choice, Direct Instruction, School Renaissance, and the School Development Program. Of the models studied, Direct Instruction (Full Immersion Model), based in Eugene, Ore., and Success for All, located in Baltimore, MD., received the strongest ratings.
