This document is an annual status report summarizing findings of the first full year of operation of the Spencerport (New York) More Effective Schools/Teaching Project. Section 1 describes four documents (reprinted in Appendices A through D) that were developed during the project; reviews the assumptions, concepts, and research findings upon which an effective schools project is built; and reports that (1) effective schools research is applicable at all levels of a suburban school system, (2) vital dialogues have developed among building staffs engaged in this project, and (3) effective schools projects should follow a definite process, set forth in Appendix C. Sections 2 and 3 include numerous tables to illustrate changes in student achievement in five schools and to identify correlates of an effective school, as determined by teacher and administrator responses to the Connecticut School Interview (summarized in 27 pages of tables in Appendix E). Section 2, "Student Achievement," contains summary tables and comments and a disaggregated analysis of student achievement and concomitant goal data. Section 3, "Correlates of an Effective School," contains summary tables and comments, as well as activities pertinent to each correlate, and needs assessment data. (IW)
