Synopsis:
Too many educators make excuses for the failure of most public schools to teach low-income children. But across the nation dozens of high-performing principals have identified those effective practices that allow all children to excel regardless of income level. In this new report, Samuel Casey Carter, a Bradley Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, examines the common practices of twenty one principals of low-income schools who set the standard for high achievement. The lessons uncovered in these case-studies provide an invaluable resource for anyone interested in providing increased educational opportunities for low-income children.
About the Author: Samuel Casey Carter is a former Bradley Fellow at The Heritage Foundation. Carter previously served as executive editor of CRISIS, the monthly journal of religion, culture, and public policy founded by Michael Novak.
He received his B.A. in Philosophy and Mathematics from St. John's College in Annapolis. He studied for his licentiate in theology at Blackfriars, Oxford. He is now finishing his doctoral dissertation on the Phenomenology of Jacob Klein for the School of Philosophy at the Catholic University of America.
