Abstract:

Kinston's Teachers Memorial School is located in a high crime area, had underachieving K-2 students, was 100 percent minority, and served the city's four poorest housing projects. Yet through the teachers' high expectations for students, instructional changes, and use of technology, students' reading levels greatly increased by April, 1998.
