Building a Culture of Hope : Enriching Schools with Optimism and Opportunity (School Improvement Strategies for Overcoming Student Poverty and Adversity)

Research demonstrates that children of poverty need more than just academic instruction to succeed. Discover a blueprint for turning low-performing schools into Cultures of Hope! The authors draw from their own experiences working with high-poverty, high-achieving schools to illustrate how to support students with an approach that considers social as well as emotional factors in education. "This book does more than provide a shot in the arm for schools and students who lack hope; it provided a theory, structure, and methodology for any school struggling to inspire underserved students"-- Anthony Muhammad, Educational Consultant; Author of Transforming School Culture
