Illinois Alliance of Essential Schools: A Qualitative Case Study of an Urban High School's Planning Year

The Coalition of Essential Schools, managed out of Brown University, is a voluntary organization of American secondary schools which promotes school reform along the lines of Nine Common Principles of Essential Schooling established by Theodore Sizer and others. Coalition membership means that each school will eventually integrate the Common Principles in the manner best suited to its needs. The Coalition operates on the principle that effective reform must be a bottom-up, self-generated, individualized process. Membership is predicated on demonstrated commitment to the Common Principles by a school's faculty; and in a mandated Planning year the faculty selects and tailors certain Principles to its school community.
