Student Ownership details a specific set of strategies used by a case study school to effectively triple the schools number of college and/or career ready students over a two year period. The school moved from the bottom 5 percent in the state in transition readiness for students to the top 5 percent by implementing strategies that helped the students take ownership of their futures by implementing these strategies. In addition, companion strategies are included that were used to change the minds of the teachers and administrators in order to establish ownership in the minds of their students. This book will help you establish student empowerment and ownership of their learning in your school culture.
