This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The District of Columbia (DC) has struggled for decades to improve its public education system. In 2007 the DC government made a bold change in the way it governs public education with the goal of shaking up the system and bringing new energy to efforts to improve outcomes for students. The Public Education Reform Amendment Act (PERAA) shifted control of the city's public schools from an elected school board to the mayor, developed a new state department of education, created the position of chancellor, and made other significant management changes. A Plan for Evaluating the District of Columbia's Public Schools offers a framework for evaluating the effects of PERAA on DC's public schools. The book recommends an evaluation program that includes a systematic yearly public reporting of key data as well as in-depth studies of high-priority issues including: quality of teachers, principals, and other personnel; quality of classroom teaching and learning; capacity to serve vulnerable children and youth; promotion of family and community engagement; and quality and equity of operations, management, and facilities. As part of the evaluation program, the Mayor's Office should produce an annual report to the city on the status of the public schools, including an analysis of trends and all the underlying data. A Plan for Evaluating the District of Columbia's Public Schools suggests that D.C. engage local universities, philanthropic organizations, and other institutions to develop and sustain an infrastructure for ongoing research and evaluation of its public schools. Any effective evaluation program must be independent of school and city leaders and responsive to the needs of all stakeholders. Additionally, its research should meet the highest standards for technical quality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual, intended to serve independent schools, is an update on an earlier evaluation of school heads and trustees. Section 1, "Evaluation and Why It Matters," emphasizes the relationship between performance evaluation and school purposes. "Examples of Evaluation of Performance," section 2, illustrates planned evaluation of six schools. Suggestions in section 3, "Some Dos and Don'ts for Evaluation," include: (1) evaluate performance against reasonably specific expectations; (2) link evaluation with long-range school objectives; and (3) include staff opinions. Expectations from trustees are detailed in section 4, "Evaluating the Performance of Trustees." Questions should involve views on education relevant to school purposes and ability to judge policy with detachment. Recommended methods are the "directed essay," evaluation by chairperson and head, and evaluation workshops. Section 5, "Evaluating the Performance of School Heads," suggests using the directed essay or a form (a sample is given). Other considerations are staff opinions and procedures for terminating the head's appointment. "Special Situations, Problems, and Opportunities," section 6, enumerates evaluation circumstances that require emphasis. Situations include the strong, reluctant head or board; the head as the school's most stable, senior person; a board dominating ingroup; and school problems. The final section, "Evaluation Essentials," offers recommendations to maintain quality evaluation. Appendices occupying nearly half the document provide sample instruments. (CJH)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As members of the Board of Trustees at your private school, you have many duties. One of the most important is hiring, nurturing, and evaluating the School Head. The Head is the Board's only employee and is the person who implements the Board's strategic plan and strategic financial plan at the school's operational level. The School Head maintains the school's mission.Boards can-and should-have excellent relationships with their Heads, and this book can help you solidify those relationships. At the core of the book's advice are three critical principles. For the best success, the Board must:?treat the School Head in predictable and supportive ways;?work reciprocally-that is, carry out its duties with the same assiduousness as is expected of the Head; and?ensure that it operates strategically to allow the Head to act operationally. We will delve into each of these and related areas as the book progresses. This book is based on the experience of the Consultants of Independent School Management and: ?their consulting in private schools for more than four decades; ?articles published in ISM's management advisory letter Ideas & Perspectives; and ?materials used for teaching in ISM's various workshops and presentations. Throughout this book, we use a fictional, K-12, coed day school, Exempli Gratia Academy, to provide examples and samples to better explain the strategies and techniques discussed. These are intentionally generic so you can easily adapt them for your school's unique character and mission.

Download or read book Understanding by Design written by Grant P. Wiggins and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2005 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a practicing emergency physician, The White Coat Investor is a high-yield manual that specifically deals with the financial issues facing medical students, residents, physicians, dentists, and similar high-income professionals.

Download or read book Strategic Planning for Independent Schools written by Susan C. Stone and published by . This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is intended to serve independent schools beginning strategic planning methods. Chapter 1, "The Case for Strategic Planning," suggests replacing the term "long range planning" with the term "strategic planning," which emphasizes change. The strategic planning and policy development process begins with careful organization to ensure orderly progression: format and timetable, composition of the planning team, data to be assembled for the team's use. The process continues by concentrating the team's attention on external and internal issues before it begins to develop consensus on the mission and general goals of the school for the future. The process leads to a two-part result: the strategic plan, a conceptual report to the school's board recommending a series of goals for policy, which provides the basis for the operating plan, sometimes also called an action or implementation plan. The process is much like strategic planning for other kinds of organizations, except that it takes into account the nature of an independent school. It focuses widely on trends for the future as well as on what has happened in the past and what is happening now. It identifies why a school exists, the school's long-term vision, and the possible means for achieving that vision. "Getting Started," chapter 2, discusses team members and leaders and the choice of an appropriate timetable. Information needed includes mission statements, previous reports, a budget, salary ranges, faculty size, and student enrollment. The process's strategic planning phase involves specific steps that are enumerated in chapter 3, "Strategic Planning." In addition to brainstorming, the school's external and internal climates must be analyzed. The team must project school characteristics to design effective strategies, divulge common themes, and translate them into policy goals. The mission statement and planning report then emerge. Chapter 4, "Strategic Action," examines steps comprising the strategic action phase, which involve implementation plan design, integration with finances, execution, appraisal, and continuous planning. The concluding chapter, "Parting Words," offers cautionary advice and additional benefits to strategic planning. Eight appendices include a bibliography, process diagram, sample timetables, policy goals, and available publication sources. (CJH)

Download or read book Strategic Planning for Private Higher Education written by Robert E Stevens and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Strategic Planning for Private Higher Education you will improve your effectiveness in strategic planning to ensure the growth, success, and viability of your institution. The book’s emphasis on tested techniques and the examples from the authors’experiences in leading several private educational organizations give you the practical insight you need to learn how to benefit from strategic planning. The entire strategic planning process is covered--from vision casting to evaluation--for all types of private educational institutions, including colleges, universities, seminaries, graduate schools in education and business, and even K-12 academies. Strategic Planning for Private Higher Education will inspire you to make planning happen in a manner that will change the future and make a difference in the life of your institution. You’ll see the strategic planning process from a senior administrator’s perspective in real-time, with the idea of empowering all participating stakeholders for input and ownership of the process. This book shows education administrators, faculty, and students how to: develop a vision that is understood, shared, and acted upon create a mission that adequately communicates “who we are,” to be used in guiding every decision of the institution meet accreditation requirements of institutional effectiveness scan and analyze the external environment for changes that create either opportunities or threats to the institution establish and implement strategy, tactics, and action plans evaluate and control the strategic planning process assess the cultural and internal situation The book’s end-of-chapter questions provide projects and assignments that reinforce the text materials. Also included are sample strategic plans for departments, schools, and colleges illustrating how to apply textual concepts and principles. Yet another valuable feature of Strategic Planning for Private Higher Education is its presentation of a “master” case study illustrating a number of key points, including: interaction between a college president and board of trustees, the use of a strategic planning task force to collect primary data and to expand participation, rewriting the mission statement of the college, and an illustration of a strategic planning calendar in relation to the budgeting calendar.
