Transforming Schools: Shared Leadership, Equity and Evidence
A principal shares the successful turnaround story in an elementary school serving students from low-income, primarily Latino homes in San Francisco. He emphasizes the powerful role principals have in school reform and explains how their shared leadership approach and results-oriented cycle of inquiry process dramatically improved student performance over a 13-year period. Concrete examples illustrate how this approach engages key constituents: teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, parents, community members, businesses leaders, and students themselves.

Reform Excerpt Chapter 2
Raymond R. Isola and Jim Cummins analyze education reform initiatives during the past 60 years and explore difficult questions, including:
• Do standardized tests boost achievement?
• Does systematic phonics instruction increase reading comprehension?
• Is it reasonable to expect English learners to learn English in just 1 year?
• Is underachievement caused by bad teaching or by low socioeconomic status?
The authors argue that when policy ignores credible education research, there are consequences for vulnerable student populations, especially those from low-income and linguistically diverse communities.
