Because everyone from policymakers to classroom teachers has a role
in achieving greater equity for children from poverty, this book
provides a sweeping chronicle of the historical turning
points-judicial, legislative, and regulatory-on the road to greater
equity, as background to the situation today. It provides succinct
policy recommendations for states and districts, as well as
practical curricular and instructional strategies for districts,
schools, and teachers. This comprehensive approach-from the
statehouse to the classroom-for providing children who come to
school from impoverished environments with the education in which
they thrive, not merely one that is comparable to others, truly
enlists everyone in the quest for opportunity and performance. The
next step toward equity may be taken by a governor, but it may also
be taken by a teacher. One need not wait for the other.

This book gives an education leader a practical path to
organizational effectiveness, shared sense of direction, and clear
focus on outcomes for students. Setting a clear direction,
structuring personnel for the greatest productivity, engaging
everyone in meaningful work, tracking organizational performance,
and encouraging innovation are fundamental concerns for every kind
of education organization-schools, districts, state agencies
included. Yet, education leaders struggle to give due attention to
these organizational matters while also tackling the challenges of
meeting the needs of their students. They are searching for a path
leading to both organizational productivity and excellence in
learning for students, a path that enlists the passions and efforts
of all personnel. Strategic Performance Management (SPM) integrates
strategic planning with performance management into a seamless
process by which an education organization develops and
operationalizes a strategic direction. This direction goes beyond
the basic elements of vision, mission, values, goals, and
strategies to include careful analysis of the functions performed
by the organization, its units, and its positions (roles) to
facilitate effective placement, assignment, and training of
personnel. SPM emphasizes planning through strategic thinking that
enables the organization to make critical adjustments as needs and
context change. It provides the flexibility to act in times of
crisis. Most of all, it gets everyone moving in the same direction,
aimed at goals for students.
