Urban Education, v35 n3 p269-323 Sep 2000

Evaluated the whole-school CoZi reform model, which combines School of the 21st century and School Development Program models. Surveys, interviews, achievement tests, and observations in CoZi and comparison schools indicated that the CoZi school had significantly higher parent involvement and school climate. No differences surfaced in achievement levels, parent-child interaction, parent social and psychological outcomes, and teacher efficacy. (SM)
