This report documents findings from site visits and other data collected by the Schools of the 21st Century (S21C)-Detroit Annenberg Challenge External Evaluation Team during the 2000-01 school year regarding Detroit's Leadership Schools efforts. The S21C approach emphasized improving student-teacher relationships, enhancing school-community relationships, and redefining school and school district relationships. This whole school reform effort involved 42 schools divided into 10 clusters sharing a vision and collaborating on school reform. Technical assistance through the project included the Technical Support Consortium at Wayne State University, assistance through organizations that the S21C council represented, assistance from S21C program staff via regular visits and other communications, and visits from national and onsite facilitators representing comprehensive whole school reform models. The school district had an increasingly improved working relationship with S21C during the reform work.
