Dr. Ilídia Cabral will give a public lecture about the results of her multiple case study on how the organization of schools impacts student success. She analyzed schools in Portugal that reorganized themselves under an education program called "Programa Mais Sucesso Escolar", which aims to prevent failure and dropout by allowing more flexible grouping of students and instructional time/space. Her research sought to understand if this reorganization was perceived as promoting learning. The talk will be held at the University of Saint Joseph and moderated by Prof. Ana Correia.
