Summary

If your high school is like most others, you're under way more pressure to improve graduation rates, close achievement gaps, and teach 21st century knowledge and skills. Here's a book that helps you rise to the challenge with a comprehensive, practical, and research-based model that has a proven track record. Drawing from his 26 years of experience, award-winning former principal Tim R. Westerberg explains how any high school can improve by doing the following:

Eliminating general and remedial tracks.

Providing students the support they need to meet college- and career-prep standards.

Ending curriculum anarchy with clear instructional goals at classroom and school levels.

Focusing teachers collectively on research-based instructional practices.

Implementing formative assessments and student interventions that lead to higher achievement.
