Improving the Achievement of Minority Students.
Murphy, John A.
Educational Leadership, v46 n2 p41-42 Oct 1988
In 1984, a Maryland elementary school publicized standardized test scores showing black students trailing white students by 25 points. Alarmed by this gap, a district task force found the root cause--negative attitudes about black students' potential--and launched an effective schools process in 171 schools. Two supporting programs are described. Includes one reference. (MLH)
