Title: Transforming Learning Supports to Transform Schools

Description: School reform continues to focus primarily on two arenas: improving curriculum and instruction and rethinking the way our schools are governed and managed. We have new curriculum, new tests, new evaluation schemes, new technology, and new governance for some schools. But little is substantively new about the ways in which schools address factors that interfere with students benefitting from improved instruction. The purpose of this paper is to provide a policy perspective on what needs to be done about this matter as Congress moves forward to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
