FirstSchool is a groundbreaking framework for teaching minority and
low-income children. This work discusses the research and practice
to date that defines "FirstSchool" as a critical approach to
closing the achievement and opportunity gaps. Changing the
conversation from improving test scores to improving school
experiences, it features lessons learned from eight elementary
schools whose leadership and staff implemented sustainable changes
in their classrooms and schools. The authors detail how to use
education research and data to provide a rationale for change; how
to promote professional learning that is genuinely collaborative
and respectful; and how to employ developmentally appropriate
teaching strategies that focus on the needs of minority and
low-income children. Book Features: Case studies illustrating
developmentally appropriate practices that can be applied across
varied PreK-3 contexts. Key principles used by FirstSchool and its
partners to reinvigorate the professionalism of teachers. Concrete
guidance for choosing and using relevant data, enriching the
curriculum, improving instruction, and developing home-school
partnerships.
