The National Education Policy Center's Schools of Opportunity project was designed to highlight public high schools that are using research-based practices for closing opportunity gaps in student learning. The project recognizes schools working to address the needs of all students, whether or not those schools have high average test scores. This approach thus embraces a shift away from the nation's myopic focus on outcomes. This follows from research findings that schools alone cannot fix the problems created by the stark inequalities in our society. Instead, schools should be expected to do their part by responding to inequities with research-based practices. With these shifts in mind, this book provides case studies of schools that demonstrate key criteria that other schools can emulate, such as an inclusive school climate, support for language-minority students, performance-based assessment, teacher professionalism, a commitment to detracking, and supports for students in need. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides accounts of school reform, jointly told by researcher-practitioner teams, connecting current research with successful efforts of educators to create outstanding learning environments.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBrings together the voices of principals and school leaders who share stories of how their work has unfolded in their school, district, and state contexts. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdentifies the school leadership and teacher practices that close opportunity gaps for student learning, and what it takes to implement them.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAdam York\u003c\/strong\u003e is a research associate with the National Education Policy Center. \u003cstrong\u003eKevin Welner\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor of education policy at the University of Colorado Boulder and the director of the National Education Policy Center. \u003cstrong\u003eLinda Molner Kelley\u003c\/strong\u003e is codirector of the Schools of Opportunity project at the National Education Policy Center.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 27, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42170530037895,"sku":"9780807768365","price":73.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/17339ec05c040e036ab2696c45a5f5a6.webp?v=1733348910","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/schools-of-opportunity-10-research-based-models-of-equity-in-action-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
