Students Turn the Tables on School Research — And Do It Themselves
June 16, 2009
By EMILY ALPERT
Voice of San Diego
The teens shuffled their papers, only slightly nervous in their jeans and hoodies in the
dimly lit classroom at Crawford High School. Teachers sat arrayed before them, waiting
to hear their report.
...The project was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation through the
American Institutes for Research and cost $7,500 per school in food, copying costs,
transportation to the university and the researchers' pay. It was part of a grant for small
high schools, the schools-within-a-school that were formed in 2004 and 2007 by
splitting up big, comprehensive schools into several smaller schools with themes. That
money dries up this summer; Jones and Yonezawa hope to cover the costs next year
with a new grant. Maria Guasp, a principal research analyst with the American Institutes
for Research, said the project ties directly into the goals of the small high school
movement: a more personalized, more empowering experience for teens...
