Project Summary
Secondary School Redesign Technical Assistance (Breaking Ranks Process of High School Reform)
The Education Alliance has provided technical assistance in implementing the recommendations of the Breaking Ranks process to transform high schools. Through site-based coaches, this project has provided professional development to staff of high-poverty, low-performing secondary schools. The aim has been to support schools in changing their structures, cultures, and instructional content to increase student academic achievement, attendance, and high school graduation rates.
The Student-Centered Secondary Schools Study is a related descriptive research study that investigates the process and effects of restructuring in low-performing high schools.
