    The Challenge of Supporting Change

Elementary Student Achievement and the Bay Area School Reform Collaborative’s Focal Strategy
2006. Kristin E. Porter and Jason C. Snipes.

The Bay Area School Reform Collaborative’s focal strategy seeks to improve student achievement in selected school districts in the San Francisco Bay Area by coaching district and school leaders, supporting evidence-based decision-making, and promoting networking among schools. In this final report, MDRC finds no strong association between the focal strategy and changes in average student proficiency rates on state-mandated literacy tests at the elementary school level.
