Abstract | Despite steadily increasing urgency about the nation's lowest-performing schools--those in the bottom five percent--efforts to turn these schools around have largely failed. Marginal change has led to marginal (or no) improvement. These schools, the systems supporting them, and the management of the change process require fundamental rethinking, not incremental change. These schools fail because the challenges they face are substantial; because they themselves are dysfunctional; and because the system of which they are a part is not responsive to the needs of the high-poverty student populations they tend to serve. Effective turnaround at scale calls for bold, comprehensive action from the state, working together with districts and outside partners. Research suggests that a coherent, comprehensive state turnaround initiative would incorporate three key elements: Changing Conditions, Building Capacity, and Clustering for Support. This Executive Summary provides an overview of "The Turnaround Challenge," a much larger report produced by the Boston-based Mass Insight Education & Research Institute, in conjunction with a broad range of national partners.
