Haser (education, Marymount University) and Nasser (researcher, American University) examine three public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia that have switched to a year-round or modified calendar in hopes of raising state standardized test scores. Their report compares each principal's leadership style, highlights the benefits the year-round schedule holds for teachers, and provides an action plan for making the transition.
