In vivid profiles of once-embattled schools, Chenoweth shows how school leaders doggedly and patiently reorganized internal systems in order to prioritize teaching and learning, resulting in improved outcomes that in many cases exceeded statewide averages. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From how they use time to how they use money, schools that succeed combine a deep belief in the capacity of their students to achieve with deliberate systems focused on student needs. As a result, they create vibrant places \"where teachers want to teach and students want to learn.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKarin Chenoweth\u003c\/b\u003e is author of \u003ci\u003eIt's Being Done: Academic Success in Unexpected Schools\u003c\/i\u003e (2007), \u003ci\u003eHOW It's Being Done: Urgent Lessons from Unexpected Schools\u003c\/i\u003e (2009), and co-author of \u003ci\u003eGetting It Done: Leading Academic Success in Unexpected Schools\u003c\/i\u003e (2011), all published by Harvard Education Press.
