What People are Saying About This
“The Schools of Opportunity Program began with the ambition of finding a way to identify high schools that were places where all students could thrive. By recognizing good practices, the program measured and rewarded what schools do rather than the test scores they produce. This excellent book provides examples of high schools where students thrive, along with a roadmap for school leaders who seek to engage in research-based practices of equitable improvement.”—Carol Corbett Burris, executive director, Network for Public Education
“Here’s the proof that real education reform is do-able. These chapters are all co-authored by school leaders who describe how they’ve used research-based practices to close opportunity gaps. It really can happen! There are no excuses for delaying changes in how our nation’s schools work!”—David C. Berliner, Regents’ Professor Emeritus, Arizona State University
“In contrast to the widespread campaigns of disinformation, profiteering, and so-called ‘reforms’ that exacerbate inequities in education today, Schools of Opportunity offers a visionary, vigorously researched, and imminently practical framework for assessing and transforming schools into foundations of democracy and justice. York, Welner, Molner Kelley, and colleagues offer not merely portraits of schools that exemplify the possibilities, but also roadmaps for getting there in our public school systems across the country. There is much reason for hope, and this book offers us an indispensable guide.”—Kevin Kumashiro, author of Surrendered: Why Progressives Are Losing the Biggest Battles in Education
