How It’s Being Done offers much-needed help to educators, providing detailed accounts of the ways in which unexpected schools—those with high-poverty and high-minority student populations—have dramatically boosted student achievement.
How It’s Being Done builds on Karin Chenoweth’s widely hailed earlier volume,
“It’s Being Done, ” providing specific information about how such schools have exceeded expectations and met with unprecedented levels of success.
