The Common Principles, originally developed and applied to high schools, guide schools to evaluate what is happening and strive, through reflection and common understanding, to seek improvement. What distinguishes the application of the Common Principles in an elementary school? And what makes a Coalition of Essential Schools (CES) elementary school different from other elementary schools? This article sheds some light on those differences by examining Windsor Elementary School, one of 13 elementary schools in the Elyria City Schools. Windsor began exploring the Coalition for Essential Schools in 1992 as a way to improve student performance at a time when state accountability was starting to come into practice in Ohio. Windsor became affiliated with CES in 1998 through an on-site review process conducted by the Ohio Center for Essential School Reform. Staff members embraced CES and have actively shared their work through attending and presenting at the Fall Forum. CES has provided consistency during times of transition; the school has seen four leadership changes since first embarking on Coalition work.
