This book by NSDC`s Director of Publications and JSD Executive Editor Joan Richardson explores the work of six schools and districts that are "positive deviants,`` organizations that are achieving above-average results with students although they have the same access to resources as other schools and districts in their areas. Learn about the practices that enable these schools and districts to identify good practices internally and ensure that they are shared widely throughout their school or district, thereby enabling all teachers to perform at higher levels. Includes a background paper on positive deviance and an interview with Jerry Sternin who promotes the concept as a way to address a variety of social concerns.
