The Beyond the Carnegie Unit project

The Carnegie Unit has been a central feature of the nation’s education system for more than a century, but is increasingly seen as a barrier to reform and innovation. A new Hoover Institution project seeks to better understand how schools and districts across the nation are leading efforts to replace it.

The Beyond the Carnegie Unit Surveys

To better understand the nature of the Carnegie Unit-related reforms being undertaken across the nation, two online survey instruments have been created for use by school and district leaders.

 

Data from these “before and after” surveys will help Hoover Institution researchers catalog the "what” "why" and "how" of what was done, as well as the lessons learned from these endeavors.

 

Please join us in this research effort!

 

The Launch Survey

Upon implementing a new reform approach, schools and districts are asked to complete the Launch Survey. This survey is designed to gather information on the origin and intent of the proposed reform, as well as the details of its planning and implementation.

 

Complete The Survey

The Reflection Survey

Once the innovative approach has reached the point where its success can be evaluated, participating schools and districts are asked to complete the Reflection Survey. This survey is designed to gather lessons learned about the reform, including adaptations that were made, outcomes that were realized, and next steps to be undertaken.

The Beyond the Carnegie Unit Interviews

As an alternative to the surveys, the Hoover Institution is also providing an opportunity for schools and districts to participate in structured interviews with researchers. Interested schools and districts should reach out to Stephen Bowen at stephenbowen@stanford.edu to request an interview, which will likewise be designed to gather information about and highlight their Carnegie Unit-related reforms.
