The best-selling Closing the Achievement Gap: No Excuses (originally published in 2006) chronicled the journey undertaken by Brazosport Independent School District to develop and implement the continuous improvement methodology now known as the PDCA Instructional Cycle. However, the story does not end there.In Are We There Yet? Continuing to Close the Achievement Gap, five additional districts offer actionable advice for implementing the PDCA Instructional Cycle and reveal the numerous benefits they have received. Complete with firsthand accounts from those who have been "in the trenches" and "Do and Don't" suggestions from author Pat Davenport, these districts' stories prove what all educators should hold as fundamental truths: All students can learn. All teachers can teach.
