Focus Group Reports

In November and December 2006, eight focus groups comprised primarily
of 4J staff were assigned to discuss a specific instructional topic.

Each focus group:

  • reviewed research on best practices
  • looked at student enrollment trends, and
  • identified options for how services might best be provided in the future.
