Greenhouse Schools in Boston: School Leadership Practices Across a High-Performing Charter Sector

Boston's public charter school sector has received national attention for its strong student outcomes. Independent studies have found that Boston charter school students, on the whole, are learning at much faster rates than their peers in charter schools across the country, as well as students in local district schools, even as the Boston Public Schools remains one of the highest performing urban districts in the country. What's happening in Boston's charter schools to make them so effective? A new report from TNTP (formerly The New Teacher Project) examines a set of specific school leadership practices that cultivate environments that promote quality instruction. The forum examines these practices and how more schools can adopt them.
