School Turnaround in Large Urban K-12 Metropolitan Areas examines the challenges facing underperforming urban schools and offers practical, equity-focused strategies for improvement. Covering leadership, technology, teacher preparation, and community engagement, it provides a roadmap for sustainable reform. School Turnaround in Large Urban K-12 Metropolitan Areas explores the persistent challenges and actionable solutions related to school turnaround in large urban K-12 districts. Since the implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act and its successor, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), states have adopted varying accountability models. Despite these efforts, hundreds of schools remain labeled as “failing,” disproportionately impacting students of color and economically disadvantaged communities. This book investigates the consequences of these accountability measures on communities and offers targeted, stakeholder-specific strategies for sustainable transformation. Chapters focus on leadership, technology, culturally responsive practices, teacher preparation, and family engagement. Drawing on evidence-based research and real-world experiences, School Turnaround in Large Urban K-12 Metropolitan Areas provides a blueprint for policymakers, educators, and community leaders to implement equity-driven school reforms.
