The Study
|
The National Study on Scaling Up Effective Schools (NCSU) is a seven-year research-practice partnership with two large, urban districts. The goal of the study was to support and study the design and implementation of a student ownership reform innovation. The grant established a networked improvement community consisting of district, school, and teacher-leaders, external program developers, and researchers who worked together to create, implement, scale, and sustain the innovation.
