Abstract

As part of Ohio’s Race to the Top grant, the Ohio Department of Education funded the Ohio Network of Education Transformation (ONET). ONET provided funding for 37 schools to implement one of five whole school reform designs: AVID, the Asia Society’s International Studies School Network (ASIA/ISSN), the Early College model, New Tech, and locally evolving STEM reforms. This symposium reports results from a two-year, mixed-methods evaluation. Four papers present information on eight schools (two per design) that were followed in greatest detail and a final paper presents cross-model findings. Results are reported at the individual school, reform design, and total ONET levels. Findings extend prior research by examining the effects of state engagement in individual school reforms.
