Abstract

The research team for this study “found 12 elementary and middle schools in Arizona -- schools whose students are mostly Latino and mostly poor -- that are ‘beating the odds’ on reading and math scores. . . . The research team found six keys to success that can translate into broader messages for education policy and strategy. These are (a) clear bottom line; (b) ongoing assessment; (c) strong, steady principal; (d) collaborative solutions; (e) stick with the program; and (f) built to suit. Describing this study as the ‘second wave’ of education reform, the authors have recommended a package of policy changes and strategic initiatives aimed at engaging policy makers and empowering educators with the tools and skills necessary to help students succeed.”
