We've seen the research and are thinking about moving from open to closed
enrollment in our state.  Are there programs experienced with closed enrollment
and if so, would teachers or administrators share what they know with us?
What's positive and what's negative about the approach with respect to students
( retention, skill gains and a stable learning community) and with respect to
teachers. If your program changed from open enrollment to one that's closed,
we'd appreciate knowing why and how you did it, whether it worked initially,
what processes you used, and what factors you think affect the outcomes -
whether you think it would work better in an urban vs rural area, etc.
Thanks.
