Discover basic strategies that promote student achievement in low-performing classrooms!
This invaluable research-based guidebook illustrates how quality teaching can overcome the impact of low socioeconomic conditions and improve student performance dramatically. The authors present instructional techniques that require students to speak with skill, write with clarity and purpose, read with a critical eye, and listen with active engagement. Using six practical strategies, educators can overcome the odds and guide learners to success by:
- Setting high expectations for all students

- Challenging students to think critically
- Insisting on results-oriented goals
1) Set High Expectations: Get Kids Emotionally Involved
