This book chronicles the journey of seven schools serving students
of poverty, English Language Learners (ELLs), and students of
color, which were able to sustain school improvement for a decade
on either state and/or national criteria that measure student
performance outcomes. The book shares stories of these seven
schools and demonstrates that it takes an entire school working
together with their communities, adding to the social and cultural
capital of their students and families, to create and nurture what
we call a Learning Partnership for sustainable school improvement.
The answers for how these schools sustained school improvement and
are effective schools is evident from their school student metrics
that validate the school s ability to meet and sustain external
mandates of high performance over time. The seven individual case
stories illustrate that what matters most is what happens in the
school itself. It is the internal culture of caring and respecting
each other and working from an additive perspective of valuing
students for their unique gifts and abilities, rather than
exclusively focusing on increasing test scores that makes these
school stories unique. This is not about heroic leadership but
leadership spread out and shared among professionals working
together to achieve common goals around shared values and beliefs.
This book is about using resources in ways that value human capital
as the greatest asset in the school to ensure that educators feel a
sense of commitment, connection, and passion for their work
together with students, their families, and their communities that
enable them to excel together. We offer readers seven cases that
demonstrate there is no cookie cutter approach to having an
effective school. Rather, there is a theory-in-practice that
grounds the Learning Partnership depicted as a tree within a
sustainable school improvement culture. This sustainable culture
connects shared leadership and accountability, resourcefulness, a
humanistic philosophy, additive schooling and results in an
organization synergy that sustains organizational and collective
efficacy for achieving results in these schools that other
educators in schools with similar demographics are often unable to
sustain or attain.
