Unrestricted, This study examined five of the highest performing secondary schools in California. This paper compared the resource allocations at the school site level with the evidenced based adequacy model to generate five case studies. Additionally, this paper compared the instructional improvement strategies with those indicated by research to double student performance. Based on this analysis, five insights emerged from this research: a) all schools were underfunded when compared with the Evidence Based Model b) all schools consciously worked towards increasing student achievement, c) all schools had large school wide goals d) all schools shared leadership and e) all schools needed to commit to the implementation of research based strategies to improve student achievement. By examining the best schools in California the author hopes to provide proven examples of success that other California schools replicate because better is as better does.

Unrestricted, The Internet, satellite radio, and cell phones are disruptive technologies relative to radio (Christensen, 1997). In April and May of 2009, a series of focus groups consisting 30-45 year old music listeners reported that they overwhelmingly favor new technologies for listening to music and that their radio listening has declined significantly (see Appendix A).; There are three major factors at work in this change. First of all, focus group participants, all of whom were interested in classical music, were listening to a number of different types of music. This result confirms the "omnivore theory"--that classical listeners are expanding the number of music genres they consume (Peterson & Kern, 1996; Bryson, 1996; Mark, 1998; Holbrook, Weiss, & Habich 2002, 2004; Han, 2003; Mark, 2003; DiMaggio & Mukhtar, 2004). Second, new technologies like Pandora and satellite radio offer a wide variety of music genres and the opportunity to customize the listening experience to a much greater extent than radio allows. Third, negatives to radio are further eroding the time music listeners spend with the medium, specific complaints include too many commercials, too much repetition of music, and a lack of information about what is playing (see Appendix A).; Conventional wisdom in the radio industry is that radio usage, while declining, is still high--much higher than the audience for any new media music service. Furthermore, with no proven revenue model and distribution costs that are not scaleable, new media businesses are not profitable and cannot easily become profitable. Though this information is true, it is likely that a viable revenue model or models will emerge in time. Therefore, this paper offers strategic thinking and a niche for new media development for classical public radio stations--a music discovery service (MDS), a central resource for helping people learn more about music. The other contribution of this paper is the creation of an invention process to zero in on how
