Title: Small schools promoting democracy, equity and social justice: Food for thought
Abstract: This work aims at deepening, through a bibliographic review, especially in the international context, the impact on students of the creation of small schools. In particular, in the American context, high schools in large urban districts, which are afflicted by high drop-out rates, increased violent behavior, low levels of performance and involvement among students, tried to reorganize themselves into smaller learning communities. Over the last two decades, this reform has triggered numerous research that dealt with evaluating the effects of this change. We will take into account said research in order to critically reflect on the enhancement of these educational realities, which might be both a starting point and a benchmark for our Italian educational context.

Title: Le piccole scuole promotrici di democrazia, equità e giustizia sociale: spunti di riflessione
Abstract: Il presente lavoro si propone di approfondire, attraverso una rassegna bibliografica, soprattutto in ambito internazionale, l'impatto sugli studenti della creazione di piccole scuole. In particolare, nel contesto americano, le scuole superiori nei grandi distretti urbani, afflitte da alti tassi di abbandono, aumento di comportamenti violenti, scarsi livelli di rendimento e di coinvolgimento tra gli studenti hanno cercato di riorganizzarsi in comunità di apprendimento più piccole. Questa riforma ha dato il via, negli ultimi 20 anni, a numerose ricerche che si sono occupate di valutare gli effetti di tale cambiamento, ricerche che prenderemo in considerazione per riflettere criticamente sulla valorizzazione di queste realtà educative, che possono fungere da spunto e da termine di confronto per il nostro contesto educativo italiano.

Title: De petites écoles faisant la promotion de la démocratie, de l'équité et de la justice sociale: matière à réflexion
Abstract: Ce travail vise à approfondir, grâce à une revue bibliographique, en particulier à l'international, l'impact sur les étudiants de la création de petites écoles.En particulier, dans le contexte américain, les écoles secondaires des grands districts urbains, affligées par des taux d'abandon élevés, une augmentation des comportements violents, de mauvais niveaux de performance et d'implication chez les élèves ont tenté de réorganiser les petites communautés d'apprentissage.Cette réforme a commencé, au cours des 20 dernières années, à de nombreuses recherches qui ont traité de l'évaluation des effets de ce changement, des recherches que nous considérerons pour réfléchir de manière critique sur l'amélioration de ces réalités éducatives, qui peuvent agir comme un point de départ et de la fin de la comparaison pour notre contexte éducatif italien.
