Böcker av Daniel L. Duke

This is a fascinating, and disturbing, story of an urban high school's struggle to survive in the post-integration era of educational reform.

This book draws on extensive research by the author and others on the actions needed to turn around low-performing schools. First, however, the book examines the personal qualities needed to undertake the turnaround process.

Based on the authors' experiences with the School Turnaround Specialist Program as well as a review of research on successful school improvement projects, Teachers' Guide to School Turnarounds contains a wealth of tips and warnings for those engaged in, or anticipating being engaged in, the process of turning around a low-performing school.
