Karin Chenoweth tackles issues surrounding disadvantaged students and elevates them from the classroom level to the school level. Based on research in nearly two dozen high performance, high poverty schools, Chenoweth constructs a model of how schools can reach disadvantaged students. She shares these insights:
- It’s everyone’s job to run the school
- Inspect what you expect–and expect that all students will meet or exceed standards
- Be relentless respectful–and respectfully relentless
- Use student achievement data to evaluate decisions
- Do whatever it takes to make sure students learn
