Papay, John P.; Kraft, Matthew A.; James, Jessalynn K. – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Numerous high-profile efforts have sought to "turn around" low-performing schools.

Joshua Bleiberg; Eric J. Brunner; Erica Harbatkin; Matthew Kraft; Matthew G. Springer – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
