Navigation Bar Project Zero Research Projects: School Change/School Improvement

Project Zero's mission is to understand and enhance learning, thinking, and creativity in the arts, as well as in humanistic and scientific disciplines, at individual and institutional levels.


School Change/School Improvement Projects

ATLAS Communities (Communities for Authentic Teaching, Learning, and Assessment for all Students) was a project dedicated to designing "break-the-mold schools" for the 21st century.

ATLAS Seminar was a series of seminars, convened by Principal Investigators of the ATLAS Communities Project, for the purpose of examining central issues in school reform.

Cultures of Thinking is a collaboration with Bialik College in Melbourne, Australia. The project looks at the process of creating a school-wide culture of thinking that supports the development of students' thinking dispositions.

The Evidence Project was a three-year effort, working in a small number of Massachusetts schools serving youth from low-income communities, to develop effective methods of assessing instructional practices in K-8 classrooms. Currently project staff are writing a book with colleagues from the Academy for Educational Development and Coalition of Essential Schools on this work.
