The San Diego Blueprint for Student Success: A Retrospective Overview and Commentary
نویسنده
چکیده
In a series of reforms started in 1998 and formalized with the 2000 introduction of the Blueprint for Student Success, the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) implemented a wideranging series of reforms designed to boost the literacy skills of students. This paper provides an overview of the reforms, assesses the contributions made by the papers in this special issue of JESPAR, and highlights complementarities between this research and related quantitative research. Overall, the evidence suggests that the model of professional development in the 8 largest district in the nation took root and led to tangible changes in the classroom. Achievement analyses by Betts (2005), Betts, Zau, and King (2005), and Betts, Zau and Koedel (2008) suggest that the reading achievement of students improved in the lower grades as a result of the reforms, but dipped somewhat in high school. The paper concludes with thoughts on the political and financial challenges to sustaining such reforms and the practical difficulties of evaluating their impact.
