creating smaller learning communities in high schools. The study will
address how schools are implementing smaller learning communities
(e.g., variety of strategies, approaches, and models; characteristics
and needs of the population served; intensity, variety and quality of
services); whether smaller learning communities improve student
outcomes; and whether program implementation and outcomes vary by types
of strategies and approaches and by types of schools.
