Evaluation of the Comprehensive School Reform Program Implementation and Outcomes

This newly completed examination of the $1 billion federal Comprehensive School Reform (CSR) Program, conducted by WestEd and its CSR evaluation partner, American Institutes for Research, offers a cautionary tale about the challenges of large-scale school improvement efforts, as well as insights into the non-standardized nature of school improvement. It also includes recommendations for federal policy and for future research. See, too, its sub-study, Achieving Dramatic School Improvement: An Exploratory Study.
