Turnaround in Texas: How One District Closed Its Minority Achievement Gap.
Cook, Glenn
American School Board Journal, v190 n2 p22-25 Feb 2003
Describes how one district closed its minority achievement gap by employing the Brazosport model, a combination of effective-schools research and Total Quality Management principles. The model includes an eight-step "plan-do-check" instructional cycle for teachers and emphasizes teacher training and tracking data. Student-achievement data, not the system, drive decisions. (WFA)
