First, some good news.
After more than a decade of fairly flat achievement and stagnant or growing gaps, we appear to be
turning the corner.

Bottom Line:When We Really Focus on
Something, We Make Progress
![Page 10: Hope for America’s Schools: Lessons for Ohio Columbus Metropolitan Club KidsOhio Education Trust, May 2006](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0b5503460f94af3106/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Clearly, much more remains to be done in elementary and
middle schoolToo many youngsters still
enter high school way behind.

But at least we have some traction on these
problems.

a little stronger, but high schools added less value than
before

These gaps begin before children arrive at the
schoolhouse door.But, rather than organizing our
educational system to ameliorate this problem, we organize it to
exacerbate the problem.

How?
By giving students who arrive with less, less in school, too.

Some of these “lesses” are a result of choices that policymakers make.

devastating ones—are a function of choices that
educators make.

Results are devastating.
Kids who come in a little behind, leave a lot behind.

in high school completion, college entry and college

Many people have concluded that we can’t
do much.

What We Hear Adults Say:
• They’re poor;• Their parents don’t care;• They come to schools without
breakfast; • Not enough books• Not enough parents . . .
![Page 53: Hope for America’s Schools: Lessons for Ohio Columbus Metropolitan Club KidsOhio Education Trust, May 2006](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0b5503460f94af3106/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
But if they are right, why are low-income students and
students of color performing so high in some schools…

Ohio Urban Districts?
More growth than state as a whole; some shining
examples of school success, including two “Schools of Distinction” right here in
Columbus.But still far too many students
way behind.

High Performing Schools and Districts
• Have clear and specific goals for what students should learn in every grade, including the order in which they should learn it;
• Provide teachers with common curriculum, assignments;
• Assess students every 4-8 weeks to measure progress;
• ACT immediately on the results of those assessments.

the most.

Good teachers matter a lot.
But some groups of kids don’t get their fair share of quality
teachers.

True, some of these differences occur between
poor and rich school districts.But there are big differences
within school districts, as well.

A Tale of Two Schools

• 32% Latino & African American
• 27% of students receive free or reduced price lunch
• Academic Performance Index = 773
Locke High SchoolLos Angeles Unified

In accordance with district and state practice, both schools report the same average teacher salary.
![Page 95: Hope for America’s Schools: Lessons for Ohio Columbus Metropolitan Club KidsOhio Education Trust, May 2006](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0b5503460f94af3106/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
The average teacher at Locke High School gets paid about $8,034 less every year than his counterpart at
Granada Hills High School.
If Locke spent as much as Granada Hills on teacher salaries for its 119
teachers, the school budget would increase by nearly a million dollars
($956,056) every year.

This HAS to change.
If we had the courage and creativity to change current
patterns?

“By our estimates from Texas schools, having an above average teacher for five
years running can completely close the average gap between low-income students and others.”
