Abstract: This randomized control trial study will examine the effectiveness of Success in Sight (SiS) in 52 elementary schools with low to moderate student achievement. This study will specifically examine the impact of SiS on student achievement and on school practices associated with school improvement. The primary data collection will include a teacher survey assessing school improvement practices (data-based decision-making, practices associated with improved student achievement, shared leadership, and purposeful community) and student achievement data. Data collection will occur over a two-year period. Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) will be used to determine the effects of SiS on school-level student achievement and school-level reform practices.
