CCSSO Secondary School Redesign

Welcome to the CCSSO Secondary School Redesign Web Portal

This web portal is a service of CCSSO to provide a collection of existing resources, tools, and practices produced by state education agencies and others to bolster and inform secondary school redesign (SSR) initiatives.


The portal offers resources in the following areas:

Providing Leadership

To prepare students for the 21st century world, we must learn from our successes and challenges of secondary school redesign efforts. CCSSO is pleased to provide this collection for your use, and we look forward to adding to it over time.
