Karin Chenoweth is writer-in-residence at The Education Trust.
How It's Being Done offers direct and much-needed help to educators, providing in-depth accounts of the ways in which unexpected schools--those with high-poverty and high-minority student populations--have dramatically boosted student achievement and diminished (and often eliminated) achievement gaps. How It's Being Done builds on Karin Chenoweth's widely hailed "It's Being Done," providing more detailed and specific information about how such schools have exceeded expectations and met with unprecedented levels of success. An invaluable contribution to the literature on school reform, How It's Being Done thoroughly explores how once-struggling schools have exceeded expectations and reached levels of student achievement that all schools--and the nation as a whole--need to attain in the twenty-first century.
