Folks,

Your willing contributions have always been enormously helpful, and I wish
to express my appreciation. My next request to you follows. I have jumped
into a funded project that I had not taken part in conceptualizing from the
start, but having the instinct that a good experience would emerge. I am
now trying to shape the research further, within the bounds of the project
goals. Two school systems are involved, and they each are exchanging and
adopting some practices of the other. One is
a suburban school system, and the other an urban school. Perhaps a
comparative study will be useful, but the clock is ticking...

Can you offer any references of comparative studies between institutions,
especially those that might offer models for research methodology?

BTW One project URL follows.
