Description: Disrupting Disruption : The Steady Work of Transforming Schools, Hardcover by Kirp, David; Wechsler, Marjorie; Gardner, Madelyn; Ali, Titilayo Tinubu, ISBN 0197651992, ISBN-13 9780197651995, Brand New, Free shipping in the US A compelling account of how US public schools can boost student achievement and close race and class opportunity gaps. In recent years, the constant drive to fix schools has bred cynicism, resentment, and at times unbridled anger. In a field where camaraderie and collegial relationships are highly valued, it is surprising that there is so little sustainable and focused collaboration among schools and school districts on how to improve. Is disruption--whether by inflicting a discipline-and-punish regime on our nation's schools, or replacing them with charters or vouchers--the only way forward? In Disrupting Disruption, David Kirp and his coauthors look closely at three seemingly ordinary school districts--Union, Oklahoma; Union City, New Jersey, and Roanoke, Virginia--that have overcome the fragmentation, isolation, and lost learning opportunities of the public school system. These school districts resemble others across the country, where many students come from low-income families. Yet they have a relentless focus on developing and supporting teachers and engaged students; constantly seeking ways to improve; the use of data to enhance learning not punish; partnerships with parents and local organizations; and stable, supportive leadership. As the authors show, each of these districts have consistently improved graduation rates and closed opportunity gap for Black and Latino students. With vivid narratives buttressed by solid quantitative research, Disrupting Disruption shows how every school district can improve and learn from one another.
