Abstract
This report presents data from the first multi-site, multi-district, multi-year study of the effects of the Core Knowledge curriculum on students’ achievement rates. As such, it begins the process of filling an information void on one of the largest of the national school reform movements.
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.
