SRN Study Kit

Understanding and Leading a High School Redesign Process

Order

A Study Kit to support the redesign of large high schools

"In all honesty, the Study Kit provided everything we needed to take a detailed look at school reform. We've used the videos for presentations to parents, staff, and students. The resource modules have guided our committees' efforts to agree on design principles and timeline, and in planning for community outreach and communications."

— High School Principal

 

This extensive library of materials includes resources for educational leaders, school coaches and community members working with high schools. It will be valuable to those leaders who have begun to consider a redesign effort, as well as to those already in the process of redesigning who want to deepen their work. Organized around a series of guiding questions, the Kit includes resources that explore issues at various stages of a redesign effort including:

  • Why redesign?
  • How do we lead a redesign process?
  • How do we engage our community in the redesign process?
  • What issues do we need to consider as we move from large high schools to small schools or small learning communities?
  • What does an effective small school look like?
  • What can we learn from other schools that are redesigning?
  • How can we collect and use data to support our redesign process?

 

What's included?

  • 275 articles, tools, and sample materials from schools that are redesigning around the nation
  • 4 Books and 9 videos that profile small schools and feature: Jacqueline Ancess (National Center for the Restructuring of Education, Schools, and Teaching), John Ferrandino (National Academy Foundation), Linda Darling-Hammond (Stanford University), Tony Wagner (Harvard University) and Deborah Meier (Founder, Central Park East).
  • Annotated resource guides to help you explore these resources
