Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper, we describe a proposal to address the problem of equity within large municipal school networks. A principal training program that uses a peer mentoring strategy is believed to be able to improve the performance of schools that consistently perform the worst. To make the case for the proposal, we discuss international experiences, recent work that identifies peers from geographically close schools that nonetheless perform very differently and report the results of novel empirical analyses that reveal systematic differences between principals of schools performing well and principals of schools at risk.
