Summary:

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 and diminished (and often eliminated) achievement gaps. 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.

Important book
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

Karin Chenoweth's book gives us a pathway for improving regular public schools at scale. Earlier this year I was the "project journalist" for the Broad Prize for Urban Education. That experience -- looking at entire urban school districts that were succeeding with poor and minority students -- was a reminder of the importance of keeping a focus on improving traditional public schools. Too often I get distracted by the high-flying charter schools and forget about the need for scale. Karin doesn't forget.

Richard Whitmire, author, Why Boys Fail.

refreshing
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

A refreshingly quantitative approach to a field that for too long has been mired in feel-good nostrums.

Urgent lessons, indeed!
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

By examining schools where students succeed seemingly against the odds, Chenoweth finds key elements that contribute to a good education. She shows us that students can - and will - achieve high academic goals when teachers and administrators work together to teach to clearly set standards. These are lessons that need to be heeded. Chenoweth's clear writing style leaves one wondering. "why isn't this done more often?" Clearly, it should be. This book should be recommended reading for educators, policy makers and anyone interested in quality education for our children.

Why is that student smiling?
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

As a former substitute teacher who stood before many different classes wondering "What can I offer them?" I wish that Chenoweth's book had been around. Her many years observing and writing about education are a valuable resource. Her books can have a significant impact on how we teach -- that's why that student is smiling.

Wonderful

A wonderful book offering hope. Well written and worth your time ! Enid Foster
