Book Synopsis School Improvement for Real by : David Hopkins
Download or read book School Improvement for Real written by David Hopkins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As societies continue to set educational goals that are, on current performance, beyond the capacity of the system to deliver, strategies for enhancing student learning through school and classroom intervention have become increasingly important. Yet, as David Hopkins argues in his book, many of the educational initiatives recently developed under the umbrella of school improvement are inadequate or unhelpful. Simply blaming teachers and delegating financial responsibility, he maintains, has little positive impact on classroom practice. This is the bleak context within which school improvement has to operate today. School Improvement for Real offers a genuine alternative: a strategy for educational change that focuses on student achievement by modifying classroom practice and adapting the management arrangements within the school to support teaching and learning. It outlines an approach to school improvement that has a medium term, systemic orientation, providing both principles and suggestions for better practice. The author's experience in the field of school improvement ensures that the text is informed by a practical wisdom that is so often lacking from the more typical managerial texts on improvement and effectiveness.
Book Synopsis Strategic Management of Human Capital in Education by : Allan R. Odden
Download or read book Strategic Management of Human Capital in Education written by Allan R. Odden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic Management of Human Capital in Education offers a comprehensive and strategic approach to address what has become labeled as "talent and human capital." Grounded in extensive research and examples of leading edge districts, this book shows how the entire human resource system in schools—from recruitment, to selection/placement, induction, professional development, performance management and evaluation, compensation, and career progression—can be reformed and restructured to boost teacher and principal effectiveness in ways that dramatically improve instructional practice and student learning. Strategic Management of Human Capital in Education guides educators towards putting more effective teachers, teacher leaders, and principals in the country’s schools—especially in poverty-impacted urban and rural communities—equipping those teacher and principals with instructional and leadership expertise, and rewarding and retaining those who are successful in attaining these objectives. Drawing from cases, experiences, and deliberations from a national task force, this book outlines a comprehensive framework for how to transform current human resource management practices into authentic, strategic talent management systems in order to improve student achievement.

Book Synopsis Resource Use and Instructional Improvement Strategies at the School Site by : Ronald D. Tolman
Download or read book Resource Use and Instructional Improvement Strategies at the School Site written by Ronald D. Tolman and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine how twelve individual schools in Wyoming utilized resources and implemented instructional strategies to organize, prioritize and plan for improved student performance. This study identified school improvement strategies, resource use in school, and the alignment between school improvement strategies and resource use in those schools. The study attempted to identify resource strategies and/or instructional improvement strategies that appeared to be more associated with schools making larger student performance gains than other schools. This study served to inform a larger study supervised by Lawrence Picus and Associates who were conducting research for the Wyoming State Legislature. This study was duplicated by approximately 19 other researchers during the same time frame for this purpose. Ten school principals were interviewed and data were collected regarding the instructional strategies of the school, resource use practices in the school, the degree of alignment between instructional strategies and resource use, and practices that appeared to be more associated with student performance improvement. Data were collected to compare actual resource use to the Wyoming education finance funding model. All data were reviewed and a case study for each school was written following an outline prescribed by Picus and Associates. The data in the case studies were then analyzed and formed the basis for the conclusions of this study. Several conclusions were reached in this study. The study found that while schools employed a variety of instructional strategies for school improvement five instructional strategies were common in the schools. The study found that schools allocated resources in traditional ways while beginning to reallocate resources more in line with the Wyoming funding model. The study found that schools aligned instructional strategies and resource use to some degree and it was found that the schools were not able to track resource use and instructional strategy alignment in detail. No conclusive findings were found as to which practices were more associated with student performance improvement although some possible promising practices were identified.

Book Synopsis The Internal Coherence Framework by : Michelle L. Forman
Download or read book The Internal Coherence Framework written by Michelle L. Forman and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2021-02-17 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internal Coherence Framework presents a system of research-based practices for assessing and developing the conditions that support adult and student learning in schools. Internal coherence is defined as the ability of educators in a school or system to connect and align resources to carry out an improvement strategy, engage in collective learning, and use that learning to provide students with richer educational opportunities. The internal coherence framework featured in the book brings together three important domains of research: leadership for learning, organizational improvement, and instructional efficacy. School or system leaders who progress through this book with colleagues will develop a shared vision for ambitious teaching and learning anchored in the instructional core; organize the work of the leadership and teacher teams to advance this vision; and build psychologically safe team, school, and system cultures to support the risk taking and constructive challenges necessary to move schools or systems to the next level of performance. At the heart of the book is a survey and rubric that can help schools better understand their strengths and weaknesses and the kinds of resources they need to support student learning. The book blends theory and practice to bring tested wisdom to bear on critical issues of education leadership and professional learning.
Book Synopsis Reinventing Public Education by : Paul Hill
Download or read book Reinventing Public Education written by Paul Hill and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-02-15 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heated debate is raging over our nation’s public schools and how they should be reformed, with proposals ranging from imposing national standards to replacing public education altogether with a voucher system for private schools. Combining decades of experience in education, the authors propose an innovative approach to solving the problems of our school system and find a middle ground between these extremes. Reinventing Public Education shows how contracting would radically change the way we operate our schools, while keeping them public and accessible to all, and making them better able to meet standards of achievement and equity. Using public funds, local school boards would select private providers to operate individual schools under formal contracts specifying the type and quality of instruction. In a hands-on, concrete fashion, the authors provide a thorough explanation of the pros and cons of school contracting and how it would work in practice. They show how contracting would free local school boards from operating schools so they can focus on improving educational policy; how it would allow parents to choose the best school for their children; and, finally, how it would ensure that schools are held accountable and academic standards are met. While retaining a strong public role in education, contracting enables schools to be more imaginative, adaptable, and suited to the needs of children and families. In presenting an alternative vision for America’s schools, Reinventing Public Education is too important to be ignored.

Book Synopsis Teachers, Their World, and Their Work by : Ann Lieberman
Download or read book Teachers, Their World, and Their Work written by Ann Lieberman and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first chapter of this book, which deals with the world and work of teachers, themes are explored that capture the essential "dailiness" of working in schools, and a general description is given of what it is like to be a teacher. The cyclical rhythms and patterns of the school year are considered, as are the formal and informal guidelines used by teachers in their interactions with students and school personnel. The social realities of teaching in the elementary school are delineated in the second chapter. Case studies of two schools are presented to illuminate differences which may exist in school climates. Chapter 3 points out the sharp difference between teaching at the elementary and secondary school school. Major themes in discussing secondary level teaching include living in a bureaucracy, working with adolescents, and the faculty culture. The problems inherent in relationships between teachers and principals and the responsibilities of leadership are discussed in the fourth chapter. In the fifth chapter, descriptions of school improvement efforts are analyzed. The final chapter explores fundamental realities and needs to be considered in improving inservice teacher education, and the roles of teachers and administrators in these endeavors. (JD)
Book Synopsis Supporting Teachers: Improving Instruction by : Tomá? Janík
Download or read book Supporting Teachers: Improving Instruction written by Tomá? Janík and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2019 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decades, progress in the field of pre-service and in-service teacher education has been evident. Despite the developments of curriculum programs, models and designs, various challenges are shaping the field. Models of teacher education are usually presented as 'research-based', but related research is often invisible or fragmented. The 'support for teachers' and the 'improvement of instruction' are only loosely coupled and their interdependence is not highlighted. These challenges were the impetus to initiate this publication. Individual approaches, models or designs of pre-service and in-service teacher education developed by the authors (action research, video clubs, lesson studies, and others) are introduced and their impact and shortcomings for further development are specified. In the concluding chapter, a reflective discussion across individual approaches to reveal particular issues that are shaping the field is provided. Practitioners as well as researchers in the field of teacher education can benefit from this book.

Book Synopsis Improving Our Schools by : Marilyn Clayton Felt
Download or read book Improving Our Schools written by Marilyn Clayton Felt and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book, a comprehensive summary of the educational studies of the late 1970s and early 1980s, is to make the thinking and conclusions of the studies conveniently accessible to those responsible for education at the local level. To that end, the book deals with 33 studies containing substantial information and advice for local action. Chapter One presents excerpts from the studies that convey the tone and the subject of current concerns about the outcomes of American education. Some cross-cultural comparisons are included. Chapter Two discusses what the different studies see as the causes of the nation's educational problems, focusing on those factors that the education community has some chance of influencing. Chapter Three summarizes the findings or recommendations of each study in turn. Chapter Four compares the recommendations of the full range of studies and identifies and discusses 11 areas of agreement (what should be taught, teaching methods, media use, evaluation and guidance, special student populations, school organization and school climate, teachers, principals, the school plant, institutions and individuals outside the school system, the improvement process). Chapter Five provides information and questions designed to help local educators (and particularly principals) find a starting point for their own improvement efforts. (RDN)
