Preferred term

school reform  

Definition(s)

  • Comprehensive school reform (CSR) is a schoolimprovement approach, especially for low-performing, high-poverty schools, which involves changes in key aspects of a school, from classroom instruction and management to school governance. Rather than adopt strategies to bring about change in individual components (e.g., implementing an innovative reading program, providing a professional development seminar to teachers, adding a computer lab), CSR is an attempt to move toward an overarching framework that guides curriculum, instruction, assessment, professional development, discipline, and other school elements in an integrated fashion (Traub, 1999).
