Getting Results: High-Performing, Low-Income Schools in Maryland
In Getting Results, the new education book from the Maryland Public Policy Institute, author Megan Farnsworth examines 12 high-poverty, high performing schools in Maryland to determine what philosophies and practices they use to bring success.
Schools in this study, which included Georgian Forest and Pine Crest elementary schools in Montgomery County, share many positive strategies such as staff collaboration, parent-teacher partnerships, varied instructional techniques, benchmark assessments, test-driven instruction, and strong administrative leadership.
You can purchase the book for $12.95 at the Maryland Public Policy Institute site.
