| Abstract | In 1991, the U.S. Congress commissioned the Department of Education's Office of Educational Research and Improvement to investigate the various aspects of education reform. This digest summarizes the findings of a resulting study that focused on the effects of school reform on students at risk. The digest identifies the components of effective programs, the elements of a caring community, the characteristics of high-reliability schools, the resources necessary for implementing and maintaining effective reforms, and the implications for policy practice. Two broad conditions are typically present in schools that successfully serve at-risk students. First, the schools function as caring, cohesive communities. Second, they operate under standards similar to high-reliability organizations (HROs). HROs usually have three features: clear and widely shared goals, similarities between management structure and resource management, and professionalism. Local, within-system financial support; involved principals; material resources, and political resources are necessary for effective reform. A conclusion is that schools acting in isolation cannot ensure that at-risk students will receive a quality education. (LMI) |
