In Districts That Succeed, long-time education writer Karin
Chenoweth turns her attention from effective schools to effective
districts. Leveraging new, cutting-edge national research on
district performance as well as in-depth reporting, Chenoweth
profiles five districts that have successfully broken the
correlation between race, poverty, and achievement. Focusing on
high performing or rapidly improving districts that serve children
of color and children from low-income backgrounds, the book
explores the common elements that have led to the districts'
successes, including leadership, processes, and systems. Districts
That Succeed reveals that helping more students achieve is not a
matter of adopting a program or practice. Rather, it requires
developing a district-wide culture where all adults feel
responsible for the academic well-being of students and adopt
systems and processes that support that culture. Chenoweth explores
how districts, from urban Chicago, Illinois to suburban Seaford,
Delaware, have organized themselves to look at data to guide
improvement. Her research highlights the essential role of
districts in closing achievement gaps and illustrates how
successful outliers can serve as resources for other districts.
With important lessons for district leaders and policy makers
alike, Chenoweth offers the hard-won wisdom of educators who
understand the power of schools to, as one superintendent says,
"change the path of poverty."
