Comer Schools: Are They Recognizable Through Direct Observation?

"The Comer School Development Program is a school reform model that, in full implementation, creates positive school climate. The research has confirmed that this can be observed. Specific characteristics of this climate should be intrinsic in all Comer schools. This study uses an instrument called the Comer Visitor Observation to determine whether or not positive climate can be observed. Data showed that school climate definitely varied among schools. It was obvious to the researchers which schools were the control schools.
