The article describes this research plan to study CSR elementary schools in the state of Arizona and introduces the articles included in this special issue. The authors hoped that an emphasis on theory, contextual enactment, and participant mediation would yield a richer picture of classroom practices and motivational dynamics that might underlie student achievement and CSR effectiveness.
This study focused in particular on participant perspectives principals and students and classroom practices associated with CSR programs in elementary schools in the state of Arizona. The research program includes interview with principals , observation of classroom practices , and survey measures and an adaptation of Thematic Apperception Test procedures with students. The U. Thus, classrooms can differ in important ways, and one goal of CRC is to understand how classroom opportunities, practices, and processes do and can support the learning, motivation, and well being of teachers and students.
CRC is not driven by politics or any ideological orientation. Problematic and politically driven reform initiatives have emerged from both major political parties in the U. The primary goal of CRC is to pursue research activities that are problem-focused and policy papers that are driven by research evidence rather than assertion.
The group task is ambiguous, and there are no obvious signs of difficulties in group dynamics. Next, we turn to the basic question that drives school reform: Does school reform improve student performance on mandated tests?
Heidi Legg Burross describes student performance data across 8 years of testing on our CSR school sample as compared with demographically matched schools and those that serve students of relative affluence. Finally, Tom Good and Mary McCaslin discuss what we have learned from our project that can inform school reform matters. Here we assert an advanced organizer: School reform matters. One of our primary goals is to find ways to improve the likelihood of successful school reform for the betterment of students and families, and teachers and principals.
School reform is needed, and it needs to be successful. We cannot let this happen to schools and the students they serve. This article concludes with considerations derived from our findings that we believe can move school reform forward; strategies for doing this are provided for policy makers, principals, teachers, researchers, and teacher educators.
