Karin Chenoweth leverages new, cutting-edge national research on district performance as well as in-depth reporting to profile five districts that have successfully broken the correlation between race, poverty, and achievement. Focusing on high performing or rapidly improving districts that serve children of color and children from low-income backgrounds, Districts That Succeed explores the common elements that have led to success, including leadership, processes, and systems. With important lessons for district leaders and policy makers alike, Chenoweth offers the hard-won wisdom of educators who understand the power of schools to, as one superintendent says, "change the path of poverty." "Districts That Succeed provides valuable exemplars of school districts that have beaten the odds, raising academic achievement of children who supposedly can't learn effectively. Karin Chenoweth provides clear descriptions of these cases and masterfully reveals what it is that district leaders must do to put their schools on track for success." --Timothy Shanahan, distinguished professor emeritus, University of Illinois at Chicago "In this timely and important book, Karin Chenoweth takes a broad look at America's public education system and shows us how the leaders of successful school districts create and maintain the conditions in which students are most likely to thrive. Through examples that reflect the country's diversity and its many challenges, she elicits key lessons and inspires us with a sense of what is possible." --Freeman A. Hrabowski, III, president, University of Maryland, Baltimore County "Inspirational yet practical, Karin Chenoweth's latest book reflects lessons gleaned from the field that debunk a relationship between background and achievement. A must read, Districts That Succeed highlights an award-winning recipe for quality learning experiences that yield both academic and social/emotional success for all students." --Susan S. Bunting, secretary of education, Delaware Department of Education Karin Chenoweth is the writer-in-residence at The Education Trust.
