Download or read book Nongraded Elementary School (Revised Edition) written by John I. Goodlad and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its first publication in 1959, The Nongraded Elementary School has become a classic in school reform literature. This reissue includes a retrospective introduction on what happened to nongraded alternatives in the aftermath of “Sputnik” educational reforms, what is occurring amid the current resurgence of school reform, and what the prospects are for the future. The value of this book lies in its still contemporary theoretical underpinnings for the nongraded school. The book’s treatment of the issue of promotion versus non-promotion is of particular interest in the current debate on school reform.

Book Synopsis Snapshots of School Leadership in the 21st Century by : Michele A. Acker-Hocevar
Download or read book Snapshots of School Leadership in the 21st Century written by Michele A. Acker-Hocevar and published by IAP. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the book, we provide snapshots describing this critically important time in our nation when federal educational policy implementation has been at a level previously unheard of in the United States. We present a chapter on the design and method of Voices 3, eight chapters on analyses of the focus-group discussions, and two invited chapters that provide a review and critique of our work. The chapters will be excellent resources for professors of educational leadership as we respond to the changing environment and improve preparation programs for superintendents and principals. We also see the book as a good resource for practitioners who desire to take the pulse of their colleagues in the field to see common concerns across various issues. Finally, it will be useful to policy makers as they consider the impact of their decisions on the implementation phases in districts and schools. With this book, you are receiving access to the 27 focus-group transcripts on which the chapters are based. Instructors of qualitative research may find these data useful in their classes, e.g., for students to practice different types of data analysis and coding.

It focuses on the following: leadership skills and their linkages to the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) standards and the National Policy Board for Educational Administration's domains and dimensions; hands-on learning that bridges theory and practice; a combination of best practices from teaching, instruction, and staff development; and directions for developing personal action plans for continuing professional development. It is designed as a cooperative-learning tool. The lessons and activities require a partner who provides specific performance feedback and who serves as a development partner and coach. It is organized into eight sections: (1) "Background and Fundamentals"; (2) "Analyzing a Case Study"; (3) "Developing School Improvement Plans"; (4) "Office Deskwork"; (5) "Making Oral Presentations"; (6) "Providing Leadership in Groups"; (7) "Conducting Structured Interviews"; and (8) "Planning for Personal Development." An extensive resources section contains examples of lists for analyzing case studies, samples of various forms and documentation, ISLLC standards, and a summary analysis of performance aspects related to the program skill areas. A subject index is also included. (WFA).

Book Synopsis Restructuring Schooling for Individual Students by : William M. Bechtol
Download or read book Restructuring Schooling for Individual Students written by William M. Bechtol and published by Longwood Division. This book was released on 1993 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research in education reveals a system that consistently delivers disappointing results. Recent reforms developed in response to the Nation at Risk report have in many cases been so restrictive that they have actually aggravated the problem - increasing retention and drop-out rates, and producing even more high school graduates who must take remedial courses in college. The authors of this timely book believe that one of the root causes of this educational decline is the failure of traditional methods and curricula to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse and multicultural school population. Their solution? Restructure public schools to accommodate the variety of student learning aptitudes present in today's classroom... and give students a greater opportunity to be successful. In these pages you'll find a number of ways to accomplish these goals. And you'll discover a variety of innovative programs that are succeeding in public schools right now, including programs from eight model schools across the country that show many of these ideas in action. Throughout the book the authors focus on options for restructuring that are practical and inexpensive to implement in any school system. They present detailed descriptions of classroom strategies and curriculum approaches that will be helpful to pre-service and in-service teachers, and to administrators interested in the many restructuring options available. Specific strategies for effective teaching are discussed, including the direct teach method, mastery learning, cooperative learning, the whole language approach to teaching reading and writing, and early intervention reading programs. The authors also present a complete"learning how to learn" curriculum that emphasizes process as well as content. Other important topics covered in depth include teaching and learning styles, management and motivation, parent/school community partnerships, and staff development. A sample staff development sequence is included in Chapter 10.
Book Synopsis Partnerships for Leadership Preparation and Development by : Frances K. Kochan
Download or read book Partnerships for Leadership Preparation and Development written by Frances K. Kochan and published by IAP. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a large body of research that supports the reality that school leaders make a significant contribution to the success of schools and the students in them. Additionally, there is strong agreement among and between researchers and state and national educational leadership associations that educational leadership preparation and development should be created and implemented within university/school partnerships. Although institutions engage in forming university/school partnerships for varied reasons, research on the extent to which these partnerships exist; their organizational structures and processes; their implementation and effectiveness; and elements that foster and hinder their success is limited. Perhaps more importantly, there is not a widely accepted, research-based model of such partnerships that practitioners and researchers can use to guide the development and assessment of these partnership endeavors and upon which they can conduct effective research. This book seeks to fill these gaps. It presents the purposes, processes, practices and outcomes of eleven university/school partnerships focused on school leadership preparation and/or development. Each chapter presents an overview of the partnership, elements that fostered and hindered partnership success, and lessons learned. The book concludes with a chapter that summarizes findings across all chapters and presents a school/university partnership model that can be used by those interested in forming, improving or researching similar partnership endeavors. There are no similar resources available in the field. Thus, this book makes an important contribution to the literature and to the world of practice and research. Praise for Partnerships for Leadership Preparation and Development: Facilitators, Barriers and Models for Change: "Kochan, Reames and Griggs bring together the latest research and eleven case examples of university-practice partnerships for school leadership preparation and development. The volume provides keen insights into practices that can make or break an effective partnership, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to develop new partnerships, to enhance existing ones, and to engage in research on this topic. For those in the throes of redesign or leadership program improvement, it is an essential read." Michelle D. Young, Professor and Dean, Loyola Marymount University UCEA Executive Director Emeritus "Partnerships for Leadership Preparation and Development is destined to become an indispensable “go-to” resource for educators who are contemplating or already engaged in school-university partnerships. Rich details are provided about a variety of partnerships operating for aspiring and practicing schools administrators, with special attention to preparing and developing underserved populations for educational leadership roles. The book not only captures the realities of these collaborative efforts, but also provides a roadmap for anticipating the important relational, organizational, and operational processes required for partnership success." Bruce Barnett, Professor Educational Leadership and Policy Studies University of Texas at San Antonio

Download or read book Political Contexts of Educational Leadership written by Jane Lindle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-24 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published with UCEA, this exciting new textbook is the first to tackle the ISLLC Standard #6—the political context of education. This unique volume helps aspiring school leaders understand the dynamics of educational policy in multiple arenas at the local, state, and federal levels. Leaders are responsible for promoting the success of every student by understanding, responding to, and influencing the political, social, economic, legal, and cultural contexts in which education and learning reside. Featuring Case studies and Suggested activities, this book provides an authentic illustration of the political dynamics that emanate from individual, social, economic, and cultural issues surrounding all schools and further aspiring school leaders’ understanding of political issues through experiences. By presenting problem-posing cases, theoretical grounding, relevant research, and implications for practice, this book provides aspiring leaders with the background, learning experiences, and analytical tools to successfully promote student success in their contexts. Companion website – includes shared resources relevant to all ISLLC standards, along with particular activities for ISLLC Standard #6

Book Synopsis A Case of Leadership Development by : Donna F. Mayer
Download or read book A Case of Leadership Development written by Donna F. Mayer and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of my doctoral research was to address the question, "How have school improvement strategies been instrumental in school and school system leadership development?" Several authors have indicated that the strength of school leadership is second only to classroom teaching as an influence on student learning and achievement (Leithwood, Louis, Anderson, & Wahlstrom, 2004; Levin, 2008; Pont, Nusche, & Moorman, 2009). However, also reported in the literature is the notion that education is faced with a situation where it may be increasingly difficult to find enough talented and qualified people to fill leadership vacancies (Alberta Education, 2010; Levin, 2008; OECD, 2008). My intention in conducting this research was to make an original contribution to the understanding of leadership development and hence the literature, through an investigation of the province-wide, government-funded Alberta Initiative for School Improvent(AISI) which had been in place since 1999 and received national and international attention as evidenced in the writing of scholars (Hargreaves, Crocker, Davis, Sahlberg, Sumara, & Shirley, 2009; Levin, 2010; Whelan, 2009). Within the case-study methodology, and using purposeful sampling, 19 participants from across Alberta were interviewed over three months so as to explore multiple experiences and perspectives. These participants experienced leadership in a variety of ways that had not been available to them prior to the inception of AISI. Interview data were supported by document review for historical information as well as my researcher's journal that provided both chronological documentation and my personal reflections throughout the research. Data analysis and interpretations of how AISI leaders believed various actions, events and experiences prepared them to fulfill formal leadership roles resulted in the construction of three major themes: Developing Skills, Expanding Understanding of the Work Context, and Transitioning to Action. Based on research findings, this study concludes with implications and recommendations for theory along with policy and practice directed at institutions that develop teachers, at school systems and at schools, as well as possibilities for further research relative to school and school system leadership development.
Book Synopsis Re-centering the Critical Potential of Nordic School Leadership Research by : Lejf Moos
Download or read book Re-centering the Critical Potential of Nordic School Leadership Research written by Lejf Moos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contributes significantly to the ongoing international and Nordic paradigm shift in educational leadership research. It advocates for going from a contemporary, mainstream functionalist paradigm to a reflexive paradigm, based on educational values and knowledge. The volume is built on the shared basis, that the purpose of education is, and must be, fundamental for school leadership practice. However, that is often forgotten in educational governance and policy. The basis of the argument is, that educational leadership needs to change from focusing on effectiveness and narrowly defined accountability towards focusing on leadership that is contributing to the general education of students. That entails that leadership research need to focus on complex perspectives like context, relations, trust, sense making and social and human values, and less on control, outcomes, accountability and testing. The volume reminds readers about the need to raise awareness of the contexts of education and research, be they political, cultural, economic or ideological. Chapters analyze, discuss and compare research from Nordic educational leadership research systems: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The cross-system insights clarify the fundamental relations between policy/governance and research/practice are and discuss forgotten dependencies and opportunities.
