Success for All—Additional Resources


Cromwell, Sharon. "What Makes "Success for All" So Successful?" Education World.
More than 1,100 schools nationwide have chosen the Success for All program as their key to academic achievement. What makes Success for All so popular with so many educators?

Joyce, Bruce R. "The Great Literacy Problem and Success for All." Phi Delta Kappan, October 1999. p. 129-131.
Joyce counters the arguments made by Greenberg and Walberg in “The Diogenes Factor,” and supports a different look at Success for All, which he considers “…one of the best current efforts to tackle our common problem of too many students with low levels of literacy.”  He also explains that opinion.

Greenberg, Rebecca C. and Herbert J. Walberg.  "The Diogenes Factor." Phi Delta Kappan, October 1999. p. 127-128.
The article reveals flaws in the evaluation of programs said to improve student achievement, including government-sponsored evaluation. The authors cite Success for All as an example of a program whose evaluations have been extremely inconsistent, depending on the methods and circumstances of the evaluation.

Hurley, Eric A., Anne Chamberlain, Robert E. Slavin, and Nancy A. Madden.  "Effects of Success For All on TAAS Reading Scores: A Texas Statewide Evaluation."  Phi Delta Kappan, June 2001, p. 750-756.
The Statewide data for Texas reported here show that Success for All schools are significantly and substantially closing the gap in TAAS reading performance between themselves and the far less impoverished schools in the rest of the state.

Pogrow, Stanley. "Success for All Is a Failure." Phi Delta Kappan, February 2002, p. 463-468. 
 

Slavin, Robert E. "Mounting Evidence Supports the Achievement Effects of Success for All." Phi Delta Kappan, February 2002, p. 469-471.
