| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to identify how high school leaders in urban schools successfully integrate policy initiatives and best practices to improve math performance in their schools. The study investigated how school leaders, who may not have strong pedagogical content knowledge in mathematics, garner the resources to improve student achievement and sustain academic growth. Moreover, the study examined how the school leaders, in the absence of instructional expertise in mathematics, carried out functions related to fiscal management, personnel management, change management, organizational leadership, and data collection and analyses to successfully bring about increased math achievement outcomes.; In order to learn more about how high schools successfully integrate policy initiatives and best practices to improve math performance in their schools, a case study was conducted at Land High School of Southern California. The study consisted of a single, comprehensive and ethnically diverse high school. The study examined the school's efforts to improve student achievement in math over a three year period: the 2002-03, 2003-04 and the 2004-05 academic years. A comparison of data from math and non-math teachers was presented. Recommendations for future research were presented, including instructional improvement and the use of motivation strategies to further promote increased math achievement and secondary school reform |
