Turning High Poverty Schools into High Performing Schools
Kathleen Budge
"Outliers in Education" is a project of CEE, The Center for Educational Effectiveness. Find out more at effectiveness.org.
Produced by Howell at the Moon Productions.
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.
