Whether starting a new small school from scratch or converting a large comprehensive school to multiple small schools, many of the tools you will need are the same. We've compiled useful tips and resources to help you get started.

Creating a successful small school is about more than small size, but what happens in the classroom, our classroom resources and guidelines for looking at student work will assist you and your colleagues with teaching and learning issues.

Teachers in successful small schools understand that family and community members are important partners. We have compiled useful tools on building family and community connections.

Small schools also collect and use many different kinds of data in order to monitor their progress and ensure that they are meeting the learning needs of every student. We gathered a variety of tools to assist you with collecting and reporting data.

Whether you are a teacher leader, teacher (or a new teacher), or administrator, as part of a small school community, you will be facilitating meetings and groups and using protocols to examine student and teacher work.
