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.

Download or read book Implementing LCFF written by Joel Knudson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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: 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.
Book Synopsis Artifacts of Accountability by : Diana Gabriela Mercado-Garcia
Download or read book Artifacts of Accountability written by Diana Gabriela Mercado-Garcia and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accountability and evaluation systems are pervasive throughout the U.S. K-12 education system. Former reform efforts, such as No Child Left Behind (NCLB), used high stakes testing and punitive sanctions in combination with incentives to shape organizational practices according to desired outcomes. More recent developments in federal and state legislation, however, have given rise to a new type of accountability system that relies less on singular rankings or ratings, provides support rather than punishment, and extends local control to school districts. The changes occurring in California via the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) set the stage for this new era of accountability, which incorporates some elements from the previous system while also introducing new evaluation components. These shifts provide an opportunity to examine accountability under a new policy context. How do school districts respond to these changes? Through qualitative content analysis of accountability documents, known as Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAPs), I conduct two studies to better understand how school districts justify resource allocation to their varied institutional audiences and to investigate how school districts make sense of performance outcomes in narrative form. Ultimately, I claim that these documents represent artifacts of accountability, which reveal how organizations avoid, negotiate, or resolve tensions in public priorities and values.

Book Synopsis Women and Educational Leadership by : Margaret Grogan
Download or read book Women and Educational Leadership written by Margaret Grogan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book presents a new way of looking at leadership that is anchored in research on women leaders in education. The authors examine how successful women in education lead and offer suggestions and ideas for developing and honing these exemplary leadership practices. Women and Educational Leadership shows how the qualities that characterize women's approaches to leadership differ from traditional approaches?whether the traditional leader is a woman or a man. The authors reveal that women leaders are more collaborative by nature and demonstrate a commitment to social justice. They tend to bring an instructional focus to leadership, include spiritual dimensions in their work, and strive for balance between the personal and professional. This important book offers a new model of leadership that shifts away from the traditional heroic notion of leadership to the collective account of leadership that focuses on leadership for a specific purpose—like social justice. The authors include illustrative examples of leaders who have brought diverse groups to work toward common ground. They also show how leadership is a way to facilitate and support the work of organizational members. The ideas and suggestions presented throughout the book can help the next generation fulfill the promise of a new tradition of leadership. Women and Educational Leadership is part of the Jossey-Bass Leadership Library in Education series.

Book Synopsis The Leader in Me by : Stephen R. Covey
Download or read book The Leader in Me written by Stephen R. Covey and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children in today's world are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live. But what if there was a way to teach children how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence on the world around them? The Leader in Meis that programme. It's based on a hugely successful initiative carried out at the A.B. Combs Elementary School in North Carolina. To hear the parents of A. B Combs talk about the school is to be amazed. In 1999, the school debuted a programme that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peopleto a pilot group of students. The parents reported an incredible change in their children, who blossomed under the programme. By the end of the following year the average end-of-grade scores had leapt from 84 to 94. This book will launch the message onto a much larger platform. Stephen R. Covey takes the 7 Habits, that have already changed the lives of millions of people, and shows how children can use them as they develop. Those habits -- be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand and then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw -- are critical skills to learn at a young age and bring incredible results, proving that it's never too early to teach someone how to live well.
