Abstract	"Turnaround" has become the new buzzword in education. From states and districts paying for principals to be trained as turnaround specialists to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's call to turn around the country's 5,000 lowest-performing schools, the concept of rapid, large-scale reform in individual schools--not just incremental school improvement--has taken hold. In this article, the author offers seven recommendations for those in schools and districts who are considering the possibility of school turnaround or who already are engaged in the process. In addition to these recommendations, the author strongly encourages universities to partner with local school districts so more insight into the hard work of high school turnaround can be gained.
