Schools of Opportunity

Schools of Opportunity
10 Research-Based Models of Equity in Action
This new book tells the stories of exemplary public high schools that are using research-based practices for closing opportunity gaps in student learning. The extraordinary work done by these schools can, the book explains, become ordinary – but only if the nation changes the way that excellent schools are recognized and built, and only if policy incentives and resources are thoughtfully directed to support the beneficial approaches used in these Schools of Opportunity.
