This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving American schools, and as a result, the educational leaders who guide and oversee American schools, has an historic background; yet research to accomplish the improvement is rooted in urban schools and male educational leaders, particularly the superintendent of schools. National and state leaders have used education policy as a means to improve student achievement for decades. California played a pivotal roll in the national trend for numerous years; most recently with the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) policy passed in 2013. The purpose of this study was to listen to the voices of female, rural superintendents as they implemented California’s Local Control Funding Formula policy. This qualitative study included nine participants from rural Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in Central and Northern California. Each participant participated in a 1-hour, semi-structured interview in her office. The researcher also observed each participant as they facilitated a meeting. The third piece of this triangulated research design included the review of each LEA’s Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). All data were collected, analyzed, and coded to Grogan and Shakeshaft’s (2011) diverse collective leadership theory. This emerging theory identifies five themes through which women educational leaders generally lead: relational leadership, leadership for social justice, leadership for learning, spiritual leadership, and balanced leadership. Data from the interviews, observations, and LCAP indicate strong evidence supporting Grogan and Shakeshaft’s diverse collective leadership theory. All participants exhibited multiple data points in more than one of the leadership themes identified in the theory with relational leadership being the most pervasive followed by leadership for learning and social justice leadership. Both balanced and spiritual leadership had scant data points leading the researcher to question why. Further research in the areas of rural, female superintendents was recommended in addition to extensive research to support Grogan and Shakeshaft’s emerging theory. Particular attention to examining the presence or absence of balanced and spiritual leadership was also suggested.

Book excerpt: California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) has introduced changes that alter the conditions under which educators, administrators, and community leaders approach their roles in the K-12 education system. Consequently, leaders at all levels may need to build the capacity--both the knowledge and skills and the resources--that they need to fulfill the potential of the new funding formula. This brief, the second in a series from the California Collaborative exploring LCFF implementation issues, highlights some of those capacity needs. Recognizing and addressing the demands for improved capacity at all levels of the system will be essential for achieving success with the new funding system. [Additional funding for the development of this brief was provided by the California Education Policy Fund, and the Silver Giving Foundation.].

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate school board relevancy in the 21st century through their behavior and decision making in the fiscal environment of California’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), specifically through the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which consciously links student achievement and funding. The perception of school board presidents and community, as represented by the superintendents and DAC/DELAC Chairpersons, were explored through interviews of all three groups and review of school board meeting minutes and LCAP records to determine if perception and implementation coincided. Based on this research, school boards appear to be on the right path to implementing LCAP-related policies and goals, which have the potential to influence student learning and achievement in significant ways. However, data also suggest that the districts and charters studied possess differing levels of understanding of LCAP and LCFF and require additional education in the LCAP, as well as in their knowledge of effective teaching practices, the role of professional development in supporting student achievement, data, understanding goal measurements, and their role in supporting student achievement. The definitive test of school board relevance, as it applies to implementation of LCAP, requires allowing time for districts/charters to increasingly improve their development, implementation, and assessment of LCAP. Only politics and time will decide if LCFF, which supports research based practices for school policy and leadership, will continue on track to provide a mechanism solidifying school boards’ role in running public school systems, thus confirming their relevancy in the 21st century.

Book excerpt: California educators continue in their struggle to communicate district plans to parents, teachers, and other members of the school community. Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAPs), have ballooned into jargon-laden stacks of tables, impenetrable to all but the most sophisticated reader. Envisioned as a tool to improve transparency, the LCAP as implemented has instead left many parents and community members utterly confused. In recognition of the LCAP's issues, state and district leaders are looking for better ways to inform the community about districts' plans and results. This brief, the fourth in a series informs district leaders as they communicate about their overall vision for school improvement, and the strategies and resource allocation decisions they are using to achieve that vision. It highlights insights that emerged from a November 2015 meeting of the California Collaborative on District Reform, in which participants reviewed resources already in use in the field--a sample of executive summaries, infographics, and other communication materials. As California continues to refine the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) system of policies and practices, these guidelines can help districts further the goals LCFF was designed to foster.
Book Synopsis Seizing the Moment for Transformation by : Karen Hawley Miles
Download or read book Seizing the Moment for Transformation written by Karen Hawley Miles and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2013 California adopted a new funding formula that includes a significant reinvestment in public education after years of budget cuts. The new law allocates funds differently, directing more resources to students with higher needs and providing more local control and greater transparency. This revolutionary change presents California districts with the opportunity to fundamentally transform how they use resources. But with an influx of funds after years of budget cuts comes a temptation to simply reverse the cuts. This paper explores how districts can seize this moment to create systems that ensure all students reach new, higher standards. We argue that districts should: (1) Think strategically; (2) Think transformation; and (3) Think school leader empowerment. And we offer seven ideas for how districts can transform the way they use resources by connecting their people, time, and money to student and teacher needs.

The focus is on examining details to ensure effective actions are taken, rather than assuming large pronouncements and policies will drive change. Readers will find: • Details and analysis about successful systems in California, Ontario, and Australia • Ideas for how leaders at all levels can take steps to begin • Vignettes, actions and strategies that illustrate how to address equity, excellence and well-being With the goal of transforming the culture of learning to develop greater equity, excellence, and student wellbeing, this book will help you liberate the system and maintain focus.

Download or read book Coherence written by Michael Fullan and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complex times call for clear solutions—If initiative overload and fragmentation are keeping your best plans from becoming reality, it’s time to start leading differently. The key to bringing about the kind of successful and sustainable change you need is the Coherence Framework, a dynamic, customizable road map made up of four essential components: Focused direction to build collective purpose Cultivating collaborative cultures while clarifying individual and team roles Deepening learning to accelerate improvement and foster innovation Securing accountability from the inside out Coherence provides the insights and tools to drive effective leadership. Now you can gain a deeper understanding of Coherence with The Taking Action Guide to Building Coherence in Schools, Districts, and Systems. Coherence is a book that demands action – it moves from the narrative of fixing one teacher at a time, to asking about the coherence of the system (be it school, national, or world issues). Fullan and Quinn create an important narrative about direction, working together, deepening learning, and securing accountability. The book sparkles with examples of coherence in action, it makes no excuses for employing the wrong levers of change. This is the blueprint for a new vocabulary of education action; it shows where we need to go next, and is another example of Fullan at the top of his game. John Hattie Director, Melbourne Education Research Institute and Author of Visible Learning "School systems that struggle are riddled with incoherence—mismatched strategies, competing cultures, and illogical initiatives. Fullan and Quinn explain clearly how coherence can solve the problem. Based on solid research and lessons drawn from effective practice, Coherence provides a comprehensive model to guide educators as they learn and lead their way to better schools."

Book Synopsis Handbook of Research in Education Finance and Policy by : Helen F. Ladd
Download or read book Handbook of Research in Education Finance and Policy written by Helen F. Ladd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sponsored by the Association for Education Finance and Policy (AEFP), the second edition of this groundbreaking handbook assembles in one place the existing research-based knowledge in education finance and policy, with particular attention to elementary and secondary education. Chapters from the first edition have been fully updated and revised to reflect current developments, new policies, and recent research. With new chapters on teacher evaluation, alternatives to traditional public schooling, and cost-benefit analysis, this volume provides a readily available current resource for anyone involved in education finance and policy. The Handbook of Research in Education Finance and Policy traces the evolution of the field from its initial focus on school inputs and revenue sources used to finance these inputs, to a focus on educational outcomes and the larger policies used to achieve them. Chapters show how decision making in school finance inevitably interacts with decisions about governance, accountability, equity, privatization, and other areas of education policy. Because a full understanding of important contemporary issues requires inputs from a variety of perspectives, the Handbook draws on contributors from a number of disciplines. Although many of the chapters cover complex, state-of-the-art empirical research, the authors explain key concepts in language that non-specialists can understand. This comprehensive, balanced, and accessible resource provides a wealth of factual information, data, and wisdom to help educators improve the quality of education in the United States.
