Muir, Maya
Northwest Education, v8 n1 p16-21 Fall 2002
A Portland (Oregon) elementary school, formerly designated a local "crisis school," has improved academic achievement through a combination of Total Quality Management, high expectations, and tough love. Quarterly assessments enable staff to keep track of each student and guide instructional decisions. Small classes, on-site professional development workshops, and staff collaboration create an environment that supports children. (TD)
