Failing schools have become the latest academic cottage industry,
and they serve as lightning rods for the controversy that continues
to surround the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Surprisingly,
there are only a handful of books that address the topic of turning
around failing schools and even fewer that provide a meaningful
discussion on how individual schools should avoid failure from the
outset. This book will help public school educators understand that
turnaround efforts are based on sound leadership principles -
nothing more, nothing less. It also provides school leaders with
the critical skills to turn around failing schools and, more
importantly, prevent their schools from failing in the first place.
Individual chapters address topics such as setting institutional
priorities, establishing a positive school culture, improving
communications, developing classroom leadership, putting the school
on a sound financial footing, and using data to guide the school
turnaround. In essence, this book serves as a practical guide for
instructional and institutional leaders on how to make a "real"
difference in the success of our nation's schools.
