Austin High Schools: Redesigning for Equity

In 2004, SCOPE researchers and the Austin Independent School District joined together to redesign the district's 11 comprehensive high schools.

To support Austin's high school redesign initiative, an experienced team of redesign experts from the School Redesign Network (a SCOPE-sponsored program) worked with district personnel to develop an eight-phase redesign process crafted to help create, support, and sustain equitable schools in Austin that are intellectually rigorous, high performing, and provide all students with the opportunity to acquire the skills needed for college and to meet the work-force demands of the 21st century.
