The challenge of school improvement for failing schools is a complex and frequently debated issue. While much has been said on this topic, little has been published that can actually help those in such schools or those working with them. By addressing the issue from a range of perspectives, this edited volume will fill the gap in the existing literature. It contains policy perspectives written by a key national policy maker, an academic, and a local policy maker. In addition, it surveys the perspectives of three different schools. Chapters written by prominent school effectiveness researchers show that while there are no quick fixes for schools in difficulty, the problem of failing schools will not simply go away without informed action.

Industry Reviews

"The central message of" No Quick Fixes: Perspectives on Schools in Difficulty is that improving schools in a high stakes accountability context is challenging work that often exacts a substantial professional and personal toll. All in all," No Quick Fixes is well worth the time. It offers lessons and insights that readers can apply to their own circumstances, whether they work in, support, study, or set policy thath affects schools." -Marcella R. Dianda, Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2000
