Class Size ReductionClass Size Reduction
CA spent over $20 billion from 1996–97 through 2009–10 on reduced K-3 class sizes, averaging $ 1.75 billion per year for last five years.
CAPSTONE REPORT (2002)
The relationship of CSR to student achievement was inconclusive…attribution to any gains in scores to CSR is unwarranted.
Students received more individual attention but similar instruction and curriculum…
As or 2010, 36 states have laws restricting the number of children in K-12 Classrooms

Charter SchoolsCharter Schools
The Evaluation of Charter Schools Final Report (June 2010)
“On average, charter middle schools that hold lotteries are neither more nor less successful than traditional public schools in improving achievement, behavior, and school progress.”
“The impact of charter middle schools on student achievement varies significantly across schools”

3. These reforms have not been successful because they focused on “structural” interventions and not directly on teaching effectiveness.

4. While there is a growing body of research, it is not keeping pace with the demands of time and urgency.
RESEARCH LIMITATIONS
1.The study of human behavior is as complex as imaginable(wicked problems, Greenhalgh)
2. Relevant research is often absent, incomplete, or conflicting in conclusions.
3.When research is present, it is still subject to review and interpretation by imperfect organisms (humans)
4.Research is a slow moving process in a fast moving world.

3. We do have models that can bridge the research to practice gap and have an immediate impact on education performance.

FUN WORDS
confabulation convergence convocation palaverparley
A gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring
host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to
refine the taste and increase the knowledge of the
participants through conversation.
These gatherings often consciously followed Horace’s
definition of the aims of poetry, “either to please or
educate”.
