Led for the past decade by Samuel C. Stringfield, the Systemic Supports for School Reform program within CRESPAR and the CSOS has conducted over 20 research projects focused on various school reform efforts. Besides projects funded through the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (now the Institute of Education Sciences) and the Office of Vocational and Adult Education within the U.S. Department of Education, Systemic Supports has engaged in numerous evaluation studies funded by groups such as the Walton Family Trust, the Abell, MacArthur, and Spencer Foundations, the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, and the College Board. Past and current projects include Improving Education Practice Through Data Use, CREDE, NRCCTE, the Special Strategies Studies, and World Class Schools.
