Informed by years of research and on-the-ground reporting, Schools
That Succeed is Karin Chenoweth's most inspiring and compelling
book yet-an essential read for educators who seek to break the
stubborn connection between academic achievement and socioeconomic
status. Chenoweth draws on her decade-long journey into
neighborhood schools where low-income students and students of
color are learning at unexpectedly high levels to reveal a key
ingredient to their success: in one way or another, their leaders
have confronted the traditional ways that schools are organized and
adopted new systems, all focused on improvement. In vivid profiles
of once-embattled schools, Chenoweth shows how school leaders
doggedly and patiently reorganized internal systems in order to
prioritize teaching and learning, resulting in improved outcomes
that in many cases exceeded statewide averages. From how they use
time to how they use money, schools that succeed combine a deep
belief in the capacity of their students to achieve with deliberate
systems focused on student needs. As a result, they create vibrant
places "where teachers want to teach and students want to learn."
