Indicator 2.4 of 4: Research based school reform model: The percentage of principals in Title I schools reporting that they are implementing a research-based school reform model. |
Source: National Longitudinal Survey of Schools, (NCES) Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: June 2006 Limitations: Data are taken from a nationally representative sample of Title I schools; data are not available for all Title I schools. Because data are based on self-reports, it is difficult to judge the extent to which reform programs are comprehensive and research based. An examination of school documents on a subsample of Title I schools will allow some indication of the quality of comprehensive school reform efforts in Title I schools in general. Explanation: Increasing numbers of Title I schools are implementing research-based school reform models to improve curriculum and instruction. The Comprehensive School Reform Demonstration Program is meeting its purpose of increasing awareness of and support for comprehensive school reform among states, districts and schools, and acts as a catalyst for how Title I funds can be used in schoolwide programs to support the adoption of research-based comprehensive school reform programs. The student achievement data at CSR schools collected for 2002 and 2003 were found to be incomplete and inconsistent, and were not used. A contractor worked with states to complete the data collection process for 2004-06, and to provide quality assurance. |
