The School Improvement Planning Handbook by Daniel Linden Duke,Marsha Carr,William Sterrett Pdf

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.

Teachers as Agents of Change by Allan A. Glatthorn Pdf

The role of teachers in bringing about educational improvement in the American schools is described in this guidebook. Based on a model of school improvement that incorporates several bodies of educational research, the central thesis is that teacher empowerment begins with teacher knowledge. Following the introduction, chapter 2 describes the essential element of the school improvement model--effective classrooms. The supportive elements, those that directly affect classrooms, are discussed in chapters 3-5: an interactive curriculum process, professional development programs, and student motivation. The facilitative elements--supportive home/community/school relationships, a learning-centered schedule, and a valid and comprehensive assessment system--are examined in chapters 6-8. Chapters 9-11 analyze the contextual elements, which include foundation elements (school culture), collegial leadership, and systematic planning for school improvement. Collaboration is advocated for implementation of the model between administrators and teachers, between school and home, and among teachers in instructional teams. References accompany each chapter.

Handbook on Restructuring and Substantial School Improvement by Herbert J. Walberg Pdf

(Published in cooperation with The Center on Innovation & Improvement) As suggested by the title, the purpose of this Handbook on Restructuring and Substantial School Improvement is to provide principles for restructuring and substantially improving schools. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, the Center on Innovation & Improvement (CII) engaged leading experts on restructuring and school improvement to prepare modules for this handbook to assist states, districts, and schools in establishing policies, procedures, and support to successfully restructure schools. The Handbook is organized into three sections. The topic of the Handbook’s modules – restructuring with a focus on the district as the impetus for dramatic improvement – is relatively new in the nation’s education history. For this reason, the module authors were selected because they are highly experienced experts in their fields and can be counted on to judiciously weigh the less than definitive evidence and to state useful guiding principles.
