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 school administrators and district coordinators of mathematics
education.
