Managing for Change: Achieving Systemic Reform Through the Effective Implementation of Networks for School Improvement

We are pleased to share the results of our 2-year formative evaluation of the Networks for School Improvement (NSI), an initiative of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. We found that NSIs have great potential to improve academic and college access outcomes for marginalized students. Two NSIs in our study exemplify the motivational and management structures needed to realize that promise.
