A five-step process to achieve improved education

Allan Odden and Sarah Archibald, nationally respected experts on school finance, use real-life examples to show how schools have achieved smaller classes, more planning time, expanded professional development, and tutoring for struggling students—without new monies!

The authors organize this information into five accessible steps:

• Understanding the change process
• Defining a new educational strategy
• Organizing and staffing the school to support the new strategy
• Deciding how to serve students who need extra help
• Paying for the changes through resource reallocation
