A followup on the 1996 study &amp;quot;Breaking Ranks,&amp;quot; the new report, written as a field guide, goes a step further by outlining tested strategies for positive change that have proven successful in all types of high school settings. A key strategy: &amp;quot;Collaborative leadership, professional learning communities, and the strategic use of data.&amp;quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&Acirc;&nbsp;
