Informed by years of research and on-the-ground reporting, Schools That Succeed is Karin Chenoweth’s most inspiring and compelling book yet—an essential read for educators who seek to break the stubborn connection between academic achievement and socioeconomic status.Chenoweth draws on her decade-long journey into neighborhood schools where low-income students and students of color are learning at unexpectedly high levels to reveal a key ingredient to their success: in one way or another, their leaders have confronted the traditional ways that schools are organized and adopted new systems, all focused on improvement. In vivid profiles of once-embattled schools, Chenoweth shows how school leaders doggedly and patiently reorganized internal systems in order to prioritize teaching and learning, resulting in improved outcomes that in many cases exceeded statewide averages.From how they use time to how they use money, schools that succeed combine a deep belief in the capacity of their students to achieve with deliberate systems focused on student needs. As a result, they create vibrant places “where teachers want to teach and students want to learn.”

In Districts That Succeed, long-time education writer Karin Chenoweth turns her attention from effective schools to effective districts. Leveraging new, cutting-edge national research on district performance as well as in-depth reporting, Chenoweth profiles five districts that have successfully broken the correlation between race, poverty, and achievement. Focusing on high performing or rapidly improving districts that serve children of color and children from low-income backgrounds, the book explores the common elements that have led to the districts’ successes, including leadership, processes, and systems. Districts That Succeed reveals that helping more students achieve is not a matter of adopting a program or practice. Rather, it requires developing a district-wide culture where all adults feel responsible for the academic well-being of students and adopt systems and processes that support that culture. Chenoweth explores how districts, from urban Chicago, Illinois to suburban Seaford, Delaware, have organized themselves to look at data to guide improvement. Her research highlights the essential role of districts in closing achievement gaps and illustrates how successful outliers can serve as resources for other districts. With important lessons for district leaders and policy makers alike, Chenoweth offers the hard-won wisdom of educators who understand the power of schools to, as one superintendent says, “change the path of poverty.”

An ex-FBI agent. A dying matriarch. A family secret that keeps killing. Northern California. Anne McCormack has plenty of her own problems-a vile ex-husband, a rocky exit from the FBI, and a struggling new estate-sales business. But when finding a watch leads her to a prominent Wine Country matriarch, she can't say no to the dying woman's plea to solve her young son's decades-old murder. Teaming up with her retired-cop uncle, Anne convinces the DA to reopen the cold case and is sworn in as a temp-hire detective. But as she wades through suspects, witnesses, and shocking evidence implicating those closest to the dead child, she fears it's too late for justice. Can Anne find a killer who's on the loose and out to take down the rest of the family?
An unsolved murder. A Ponzi scheme. And a heist that has ex-FBI agent Anne McCormack racing throughout the wine country. It's been sixteen years since beautiful socialite Dinah Pardini's body was found dumped in the backroads of Northern California's wine country. But is her murder linked to the diabolical Ponzi scheme that now engulfs Santa Rosa, nearly bankrupting many citizens Anne knows and loves? The ex-FBI agent-turned-estate liquidator certainly believes so and starts putting the clues together: a client's diary with a treasure map, a puzzling letter, a menacing white truck-all of which drives her into dangerous territory, both of the body and spirit. Anne will have to keep her wits about her if she plans on outracing thieves and solving Dinah's murder without becoming a victim herself, for dark forces are working against her at every turn and she's running out of people to trust.

When I became an English Major in college, it wasn't by default. I admitted to myself that the two things in this world which held any real, true, sustaining interest for me were reading and writing. Owning The English Major Bookstore in Midtown, Memphis from 2008-2011 was the perfect job for a graduated English Major. My job included reading samplings of books all day so I could be familiar with the titles on my shelves and be more helpful to the seeking reader- it was heavenly. I loved the bookstore and was sad to close it but am sure you will enjoy the book version of the online blog from the store.
