Definition of an Effective School
“An Effective School is one in which all the students learn the specified curriculum
regardless of factors in their backgrounds which have ordinarily been identified as
those which prevent such learning.”
—Lawrence Lezotte—Learning for All
FOUNDATION
F-11
—Ron Edmonds—Effective Schools for the Poor
We already know more than we need to do that.
“We can, whenever and wherever we want, successfully teach all children whose schooling is of interest to us.
Whether or not we do it must depend on how we feel about the fact that we haven’t so far.”
