This book presents research findings about school-level and
district-level practices and successful strategies employed in
mathematics education by highly effective schools that serve
high-poverty communities. It includes both the theory and practice
of creating highly effective schools in these communities.
In 2002 nine schools were selected in a national competition to
participate in the Hewlett-Packard High Achieving Grant Initiative.
As part of this Initiative, these schools participated in the
research study this book reports. The study employed both
qualitative and quantitative methodologies to examine school- and
classroom-level factors that contributed to high achievement,
particularly in mathematics. The goals of the study were twofold:
1) to investigate the salient characteristics of the highly
effective schools in which the research was conducted, and 2) to
explore participating teachers' conceptions and practices about
mathematics curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
The schools described have much to teach about creating powerful
learning environments that empower "all" students to learn
challenging mathematics. Given the pressures of the accountability
measures of the No Child Left Behind legislation, this book is
extremely timely for those seeking school models that serve
high-poverty communities and have demonstrated high performance on
high-stakes examinations and other assessments.
"Mathematics Education at Highly Effective Schools That Serve the
Poor: Strategies for Change "is particularly relevant for teacher
educators, researchers, teachers, and graduate students in the
fields of mathematics education and school policy and reform, and
for schooladministrators and district coordinators of mathematics
education.
