Title: Learning Supports and Small Schools (A Policy and Practice Analysis Brief)

Description: The focus of this report is on: How do small schools provide student and learning supports and how can they do it better?

We begin with a brief description of the current movement toward establishing small schools. Then, we outline the problem small schools confront in trying to address barriers to learning and teaching. Finally, we offer some recommendations for how small schools can enhance learning supports.

This brief draws on previous policy and practice analyses done by the Center, other reports and analyses available online, and some perspectives solicited directly from colleagues working at state departments, districts and schools, and professional associations.
