Planning Resources for Teachers in Small High Schools

The Small Schools Project published a series of collections of promising curricular resources and pedagogical practices that promote powerful teaching and learning in small high schools. Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, this project will help high schools move their focus from designing small schools to re-thinking teaching and learning practices. Resources include practical tools, school profiles, sample classroom activities, and critical readings on these topics.
