The concept of school turnaround--rapidly improving schools and increasing student achievement outcomes in a short period of time--has become politicized despite the relative newness of the idea. Unprecedented funding levels for school improvement combined with few examples of schools substantially increasing student achievement outcomes has resulted in doubt about whether or not turnaround is achievable. Skeptics have enumerated a number of reasons to abandon school turnaround at this early juncture. This book is the first in a new series on school turnaround and reform intended to spur ongoing dialogue among and between researchers, policymakers, and practitioners on improving the lowest-performing schools and the systems in which they operate. The turnaround challenge remains salient regardless of what we call it. We must improve the nation's lowest-performing schools for many moral, social, and economic reasons.
