Gotta have trust

· Some argue that state policy interferes with social capital in communities (Coleman, Putnam, Lowry) by disrupting local connections, trust, etc (Bryk, Fukyama...I think he's a crazy postmodernist).

What if reading policies are interfering with social capital at school sites?

· Define modes of policy interference and measure how Reading First changes social capital at a school

· Use OCR as proxy for RF as a disruptive policy

· Hypotheses: reading policies reduce trust; alter communication patterns; change collaboration patterns (from teacher-teacher to coach-teacher) [hmmm….that’s a big topic in and of itself];
