| Summary: | This is an in-depth analysis of eight elementary schools, six of which were characterized by improving student achievement and two of which were declining in student achievement. Data were collected through questionnaires and personal interviews. Ten major findings and 10 recommendations for improvement of student achievement are discussed, along with a detailed presentation of relevant data. The most pervasive finding concerned teachers' and principals' attitudes toward student achievement. The staff in the declining schools had low opinions of their students' abilities, while the staff in the improving schools had high opinions of student ability. (Authors) |
