Districts That Succeed
Breaking the Correlation Between Race, Poverty, and Achievement
Karin Chenoweth
Explore five districts that have successfully broken the correlation between race, poverty, and achievement in Districts That Succeed. Author Karin Chenoweth leverages new, cutting-edge national research on district performance and in-depth reporting to highlight leadership, processes, and systems that have led to the districts’ success. Chenoweth emphasizes that helping more students achieve is not a matter of adopting a program or practice but rather creating a district-wide culture. Chenoweth's research reveals the essential role of districts in closing achievement gaps, and her book provides important lessons for district leaders and policy makers alike.

In her latest book, "Districts that succeed" @karinchenoweth points out that improving schools doesn't do much good unless the improvement survives changes in leadership. The case studies are interesting, but what makes the book for me is the final chapter, showing a way forward. – source
