One of my readers sent me a Boston Globe article that I found to be fascinating. Harvard Professor Roland Fryer applied statistical analysis on successful schools to see why they worked, then applied the resulting 5 principals to failing schools in Texas with dramatic results in just one year.
The magic recipe
- Frequent feedback to teachers
- Use data on individual students to guide their instruction
- Heavy tutoring
- Increase instructional time
- Maintain very high expectations
