The Center for Secondary School Redesign, Inc., (CSSR)
has partnered with the The Millennium Group International, LLC (TMG)
and the Great
Schools Partnership to provide technical-assistance to all SLC grantees. The three organizations will collaboratively develop a series of events, professional development opportunities, and products for the 214 project directors and more than 600 high schools currently involved in the federal program.
The products will include guides and
tools designed to help schools develop effective goals and objectives
for systemic reform, strengthen ninth-grade transitions, design and
execute high-quality schools visits, and increase postsecondary
aspirations and preparation for all students. The three organizations
will also coordinate major conferences for districts and schools, create
a series of professional development webinars, and launch a new website
that will function as a comprehensive resource for educators and
high-school communities engaged in systemic school improvement. The
contract also entails a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of
selected sites to examine promising ninth-grade transition strategies,
as well as site visits to schools throughout the country to identify and
investigate promising practices in all areas of high school reform.

The Smaller Learning Communities program (SLCP) awards discretionary grants for up to 60 months to local educational agencies (LEAs) to support the implementation of smaller learning communities (SLCs) and activities to improve student academic achievement in large public high schools with enrollments of 1,000 or more students. SLCs include structures such as freshman academies, multi-grade academies organized around career interests or other themes, “houses” in which small groups of students remain together throughout high school, and autonomous schools-within-a-school, as well as personalization strategies, such as student advisories, family advocate systems, and mentoring programs.
CSSR has been providing schools and school districts intensive technical assistance in support of their SLC grants for many years. Our team provides both educational best practice strategies that support personalized learning and organization development methodologies that will sustain the systematic cultural change taking place in the learning environment. Currently, CSSR is providing SLC coaching to 13 high schools in the following locations:
|
• Napa, CA
• Plymouth,
MA

• Beverly, MA
• West Orange, NJ
• New Brunswick, NJ
