Alan Blankstein’s Failure Is Not an Option outlines six focus areas that, when fulfilled, can result in student success and teacher enthusiasm:
1. Common mission, vision, values, and goals
2. Ensuring achievement for all students: systems for prevention and intervention
3. Collaborative teaming focused on teaching for learning
4. Data-based decision making for continuous improvement
5. Gaining active engagement from family and community
6. Building sustainable leadership capacity
