University of Pittsburgh, 2011 Abstract The purpose of this qualitative case study was to examine a major Pennsylvania high school reform initiative: Project 720. Through document review and interviews, the author found that Pennsylvania allocated $40 million to 143 school districts in an attempt to transform Pennsylvania high schools into child-centered, small learning communities focused on 21st Century learning skills. This study examined the design, implementation, and sustainability of Project 720. This study posed three research questions: (1) What events led to the development of Project 720? (2) How was Project 720 implemented? (3) What is the status of Project 702? The focus for Pennsylvania‟s high school reform began during the 2005 National Governors‟ Association conference.
