Editor's Note: Featured throughout this edition of Policy Briefs are short Profiles, which are snapshots of local initiatives to implement staff development programs through restructuring of school time. The selected sites demonstrate similarities, but differ in school size, make-up, location, resources, and planning. Some programs are new, while others have existed for a while. They are not necessarily models, but rather real-life scenarios.
Brandon/Oxford Professional Development School, Ortonville, Michigan
Central Park East Secondary School, New York, New York
Columbus East High School, Columbus, Indiana
Grass Lake Community Schools, Grass Lake, Michigan
Hefferan (West Garfield Park) Elementary School, Chicago, Illinois
Milwaukee Public Schools, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The sites were selected because they contain the following characteristics:
We also wanted to include variation in community size, featuring small, medium, and large communities. We did not restrict the location of the sites to the NCREL region, nor did we attempt to profile a site in each of the NCREL states. Each NCREL state is featured in the Regional Actions and Agendas section of this brief. Special thanks go to each site for allowing us to share its initiative. The name of the local contact person for each site is included if the reader would like additional information.
