    The researcher surveyed three high schools using the Assessment of Learner-Centered Practices survey to study factors leading to high achievement. Each school had unique structures and practices like flexible scheduling and groupings. Instructional practices were not unique but common in many schools. The researcher found that despite differences, all three schools felt they achieved goals and were moving positively, indicating these practices contributed to success. The researcher recommends further study on how schools meet achievement goals and how to support students who don't achieve traditionally.

    three high schools that lead to high validated survey, “The Assessment of
    achievement? Learner-Centered Practices” provided by
    Professor Barbara McCombs of Denver
    University. The use of the ALCP provided the
    author with statistically valid survey that had
    been employed nation-wide to gauge the
    depth of Learner-Centered Practice in many
    high schools. In addition, the use of this
    survey provided the author with comparative
    data for use in this work.
