Abstract
In recent years, there has been a remarkable transformation in the movement to reform America’s public schools. A rapidly growing type of reform is the widespread dissemination of replicable whole-school reform models with specific components, materials, professional development, and staffing patterns.
Description
The Center for Research on the Education of Students Placed at Risk (CRESPAR) was established in 1994 and continued until 2004. It was a collaboration between Johns Hopkins University and Howard University. CRESPAR’s mission was to conduct research, development, evaluation, and dissemination of replicable strategies designed to transform schooling for students who were placed at risk due to inadequate institutional responses to such factors as poverty, ethnic minority status, and non-English-speaking home background.
