Full Description
In their second collaboration, Wilcox and Angelis tell the stories of high school educators who embody best practices in their day-to-day activities—practices that consistently lead to higher student academic achievement across the core subjects for all students. This book shares results of a multicase study of how some high schools consistently deliver better student performance, including improved 4-year graduation rates. These schools have learned how to successfully adapt to the climate of increased (and increasing) accountability.
Best Practices from High-Performing High Schools is for anyone who strives to ensure that all students graduate from high school and are ready to succeed in college, in their careers, and in life.
