Annotation:	This guide synthesizes lessons learned from some of the nation’s largest school districts on improving student achievement at scale to provide tools and strategies that address six key questions: •Which of your students are most likely to drop out—and why? •What kind of school choices do you provide to meet diverse student needs—and how well are those schools and programs performing? •What policy changes are needed •How will you manage a change process, inviting multiple stakeholders inside and outside the system to make the kinds of changes that the data suggest are needed? •How can you strengthen your portfolio of options? •How should you restructure your central office to support schools? The guide is part of a series that includes a leadership guide with a 30,000-foot overview of what’s needed to turn the dropout tide, and an analyst guide offering guidance on the data analysis needed to support decision-making along the way.
