This chapter outlines the three stages of school turnaround: Stage One involves stopping the decline by improving staff morale, reducing leadership turnover, and increasing collaboration. External intervention may be needed. Stage Two focuses on ensuring survival through shifting teacher attitudes, increasing efficacy, and improving instruction through professional development. Stage Three is about achieving satisfactory performance through a culture of high expectations, discipline, strong instructional leadership, and attention to basic and higher-order skills. Entering this stage requires responsibility, awareness, and understanding of factors that produce strong student performance.
