Qualitative Methodology• Schools agree to participate • 4-person research teams conduct extensive
fieldwork over 3 days. • Data collection involved 4 techniques:
– document analysis– semi-structured interviews– classroom observations– student shadowing
These techniques were used as a method of triangulation
to increase the trustworthiness of the study (Maxwell, 2005).

Mission DrivenEveryone knows it.

Mission Driven
"When I came here they told me this was a college bound school. None of the men in my family ever went to college. From freshman year they have been telling me, I was going to go to college. At first I wasn't sure, but since I have been here, now I am going to college.”
Junior, male; Withrow University High School
Everyone knows it.

Mission Driven
Researcher: How is student success defined at this school?
Student 1: It's not about grades but about how students push themselves. Students push themselves to take those higher classes and to do well in higher placement.
Student 2: It's about growth. We kind of have a holistic approach, sports and extra-curricular activities are important. Always pushing to do more, to have a larger impact on the community and be a better citizen.
An active, daily force.

High Expectations
The basics.

High Expectations
Related to school purpose.
“What distinguishes this school from others that you have worked in?”
“High expectations. We are treated by the principal as professionals and it's made clear that there are no excuses as professionals.”

High Expectations
Related to school purpose.
“When I was first hired, I was told I needed to get to know my students. I said, ‘I have 1,500 students!’ Someone promptly handed me ayearbook and responded, ‘You better get started then.’

High Expectations
Of everyone by everyone.
At Newport the culture of high expectations is manifest in the students themselves. They push each other take AP courses and are actually embarrassed to tell their friends if they decide not to take an extra AP course.

High Expectations
Equal levels of support.
Researcher: What motivates you to do well in class? Withrow Student: My peers. Researcher: How do your peers help you? Student: They push me do better, to keep doing my work. They just keep pushing me to keep going. If I don't understand something they show me how to do it, they push me until I get it right.

Professional Culture
Cultivated by administration.
"We work hard at changing the mind set of some teachers. High school teachers can sometimes act as if their classroom is their little domain. We work at getting them to see the bigger picture."

PLCs
Raleigh's space issues put them in regular informal observation of one another on a daily basis. In addition there is a formal expectation that teachers observe at least six classes a year.

When students at Saunders were asked, “Does at least one adult in the building know you well?” students overwhelmingly responded, “They all know us well.”
