Site visits were scheduled during February and March, 2006 with educational leaders and other interviewees as recommended and coordinated through the school contact person. Focused data collection during site visits ranged from four to seven days, spanning two to six weeks from first to last visit at each site. Site visits included campus tours, formal and informal observations and interviews. Observations were made of educational leaders in action during formal events such as staff meetings, board meetings, site council and advisory meetings as well as observations of interactions with students and others in their daily activities.
