Implementation of the Chelsea School Project: A Case Study

摘要

The study has three purposes: (1) It documents and describes the history of theChelsea-BU agreement and implementation during the first year of operation, thus providing a case study to date; (2) It establishes the analytical groundwork for a longitudinal evaluation of the implementation process and ultimately of the effects of the project on the lives of Chelsea's students as well as on the schools and community; (3) It contains important lessons for other people or groups committed to addressing the educational and community needs of economically poor, culturally varied urban school systems.
