Book Synopsis School Effectiveness and School Improvement by : Louise Stoll
Download or read book School Effectiveness and School Improvement written by Louise Stoll and published by Institute of Education. This book was released on 1995 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last decade has seen a burgeoning of interest in the twin fields of school effectiveness and school improvement by politicians, policy makers and practitioners. For some, the drive has been to raise standards and increase accountability through inspection and assessment measures, believing that the incentive of accountability and market competition will lead to improvement. Alternatively, reform and restructuring have led many people in schools to create their own agenda and ask, ‘How do we know that what we are doing makes a positive difference to our pupils?’ and, ‘What can we do to provide pupils with the best possible education?’ This paper explores the two paradigms that underpin notions of school effectiveness and school improvement. We start with their definitions and aims. Key factors of effectiveness and improvement are examined and fundamental issues discussed. We conclude with a description of attempts to link the two areas of work.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kentucky?s school improvement planning process is designed to include all school stakeholders (parents, staff and administrators) in creating a plan to ensure that all students in a school show continuous academic improvement. This guidebook is designed to take schools step-by-step through a high quality planning process that will meet state and federal requirements and best practice standards. The planning process accomplishes this task in several ways. The process has multiple steps that should be followed in order to produce a plan of high quality and meaning. The planning process begins with the development of statements that reflect the vision, mission and beliefs of the school. This is followed by a needs assessment in which data is studied to determine the priority needs of the school. Next is an analysis of the causes for those needs. Once root causes of the needs are identified, overall goals are written to address the priority needs. This is followed by measurable objectives that are designed to accomplish each goal and activities that are designed to implement the objectives. Then, the school must look at available resources to determine how to fund the activities. Once the plan is developed, the school council and school improvement committee will monitor the activities laid out in the plan to ensure that they are implemented effectively. Once implemented, procedures must be put in place to evaluate the effectiveness of each activity. As these activities are evaluated the plan should be revised to modify or eliminate weak activities and create new ones if they are needed to accomplish the objective. An appended technical assistance document contains information about the NCLB consequences for Title I schools and districts that do not make adequate yearly progress (AYP) in meeting federal goals.
Book Synopsis The New Strategic Direction and Development of the School by : Brent Davies
Download or read book The New Strategic Direction and Development of the School written by Brent Davies and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools will not be able to continue to improve unless they move away from an over-concentration on the short-term and focus on the strategic nature of planning and development. The more targets, the less the effects - what we need is strategy and sustainability. This book links school improvement planning and strategic development for leadership enhancement as well as for management accountability. Short-term planning, in the form of target-setting plans aimed at improving standards, has gained increasing importance. While the book agrees that this is necessary, it puts forward the view that short-term planning is not sufficient for the longer-term development of the school. Sustainability and strategic development are of critical importance and for these the authors believe that a more holistic approach to planning is necessary. To that end, this book links short and longer-term planning in a framework, which supports the strategic development of the school. The authors are national experts in the field and in preparing this text have worked extensively with headteachers, deputy headteachers, governors and those participating in NPQH and masters programmes in educational leadership and management.

Book Synopsis The School Improvement Planning Handbook by : Daniel Linden Duke
Download or read book The School Improvement Planning Handbook written by Daniel Linden Duke and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing and updating school improvement plans is an annual ritual for virtually all school principals and their school improvement committees. Still, large numbers of schools continue to produce disappointing outcomes. The authors believe that part of the problem is the result of plans that focus on the wrong targets and that rely on ineffective strategies for improvement. To help principals and their school improvement committees develop and implement plans with a greater likelihood of success, the authors offer a step-by-step process for school improvement planning. They go on to pinpoint specific school improvement goals, including raising reading and mathematics achievement, building robust school cultures, addressing the needs of English language learners, improving instruction, and reducing absenteeism and dropouts. For each goal, a variety of objectives and proven strategies is presented along with sample school improvement plans. The book addresses the differences in planning to turn around a low-performing school, planning to sustain improvements over time, and planning to move a good school to a great school.

Book Synopsis Learning to Improve by : Anthony S. Bryk
Download or read book Learning to Improve written by Anthony S. Bryk and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a field, education has largely failed to learn from experience. Time after time, promising education reforms fall short of their goals and are abandoned as other promising ideas take their place. In Learning to Improve, the authors argue for a new approach. Rather than “implementing fast and learning slow,” they believe educators should adopt a more rigorous approach to improvement that allows the field to “learn fast to implement well.” Using ideas borrowed from improvement science, the authors show how a process of disciplined inquiry can be combined with the use of networks to identify, adapt, and successfully scale up promising interventions in education. Organized around six core principles, the book shows how “networked improvement communities” can bring together researchers and practitioners to accelerate learning in key areas of education. Examples include efforts to address the high rates of failure among students in community college remedial math courses and strategies for improving feedback to novice teachers. Learning to Improve offers a new paradigm for research and development in education that promises to be a powerful driver of improvement for the nation’s schools and colleges.
