Abstract

We evaluated a large-scale reform program with emphasis on curriculum-based instruction, ongoing progress monitoring, and systematic and continuing professional development. The design of the study included pre-, post-, and follow-up assessments of all students in reading and mathematics. In general, the treatment group performed statistically significantly better than the comparison group on all variables assessed. The substantial progress reflects the benefits of a balanced approach to school reform and the power of the School Renaissance program.
