Giving test results to an incoherent, badly run school doesn't
automatically make it a better school. The work of turning a school
around entails improving the knowledge and skills of
teachers-changing their knowledge of content and how to teach
it-and helping them to understand where their students are in their
academic development. Low-performing schools, and the people who
work in them, don't know what to do. If they did, they would be
doing it already. So writes Richard Elmore in ""Unwarranted
Intrusion,"" an essay critiquing the accountability mandates and
high-stakes testing policies of the No Child Left Behind Act. In
School Reform from the Inside Out, one of the country's leading
experts on the successes and failures of American education policy
tackles issues ranging from teacher development to testing to
""failing"" schools. As Elmore aptly notes, successful school
reform begins ""from the inside out"" with teachers,
administrators, and school staff, not with external mandates or
standards. This collection of some of Elmore's most probing and
influential essays is essential reading for any school leader,
education reformer, policymaker, or citizen interested in the
forces that promote real school change.
