This unique book tells the story of a select group of schools and
teachers who have managed to beat the odds in terms of improving
elementary students reading achievement. Originating with the CIERA
"School Change Project" directed by Barbara Taylor and David
Pearson, it was subsequently expanded to include the work of other
research teams doing similar work. It combines large scale studies
of effective schools and teachers (Part I) with case studies of
individual schools and teachers who have successfully transformed
research findings into situation-specific strategies appropriate to
their schools and classrooms (Parts II and III). The book's

groups of teachers must improvise their own situation-specific
programs and practices. In short, they must be able to create
variations on a common theme. Key features of this outstanding new
volume include:
