The Schools for a New Society (SNS) initiative seeks to support systemwide excellence in high school education by fostering comprehensive school reform, with the goal of assuring that all students have an excellent secondary education. AED is developing a network of 10 local collaboratives selected to receive planning grants under the initiative. AED is helping the collaboratives select strategies for comprehensive secondary school reform; foster stable and effective leadership; and identify and mobilize existing strengths in communities to create a sustainable secondary school reform movement. Since the program’s inception, funded SNS districts have divided large high schools into small learning communities and/or started new small schools to provide personal attention to students; revamped curricula to make schools more engaging to adolescents; and forged new partnerships with businesses and community agencies to provide opportunities for out-of-school learning and support sweeping changes in high schools.
