| Abstract: | Like the African proverb, ‘It takes a village to raise a child’, many educational researchers charge that it takes a comprehensive
school reform to raise student achievement. With the passing of the No Child Left Behind legislation in 2002, national officials
authorized the Comprehensive School Reform program to support low performing schools as they struggled to improve student
achievement. As a result of this national effort, an increase in implementation of comprehensive school reforms is occurring
in schools serving predominantly diverse student populations in urban areas. Therefore, this article explores the framework
of comprehensive school reforms and challenges stakeholders to do their homework by investigating whether the school reform
allows for the implementation of culturally responsive educational experiences for students. |
