| State Reform Projects
CRM has a substantively rich history with state reform
initiatives in New Hampshire and New York. For example, in
collaboration with the New York State Department of
Education and the New York City Board of Education, CRM has
provided institutes and leadership seminars for New York
City SURR school teams that focused on improving student
literacy and aligning instructional practices with the New
York State Learning Standards. CRM also collaborated with
the New York City Teachers Center and the New York State
Department of Education to conduct a study on the extent of
alignment between selected CSRD models and the New York
State Learning Standards. This project resulted in a
document to support district and school analysis of the CSRD
models: Comprehensive School Reform Demonstration
Program--CSRD Program Models and the New York State
Learning Standards--District and School Team Manual.
CRM is the current contractor responsible for training and
technical assistance on data-driven improvement for the
statewide New Hampshire Best Schools Initiative. For 15
years, CRM was the contractor for the New Hampshire Special
Education Program Improvement Partnership, and developed a
comprehensive assessment and program improvement model for
special education based on the effective schools research.
