A Model for District Reform in Math and ScienceMarch 16, 2009 The best model for district reform may well be complete, affordable packages of instructional guidance delivered to the school level, district-wide. A new WCER Working Paper synthesizes case studies of four districts that implemented reforms offering rigorous instruction in mathematics and science. Excellent access to top management allowed an NSF partnership to assist with multiple dimensions of instructional guidance. The biggest obstacles included turnover in district leadership, loose coupling across departments, and insufficient budget for adequate school site support (e.g., coaches). Read the Working Paper here.
