Turning High Poverty Schools into High Performing Schools
Boise State University Professor Emerita, author and long-time educator Kathleen Budge finds parallels in her work and the findings of The Outliers Study that help define a roadmap for improvement in schools faced with large populations of students from low-income settings. Poverty and performance are not tied together and the keys to ensuring that lie in the culture of the schools serving impoverished students.
