Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is an updated edition of the best-selling, seminal book on school leadership, equity, and social justice. George Theoharis draws on the experiences and words of successful public-school principals committed to advancing equity and social justice. Through the work of these principals, Theoharis shows why social justice leadership is needed and how it can be effective in creating more equitable schools. Although facing tremendous barriers, these principals made important strides toward closing both the outcome and opportunity gaps in their schools through the use of inclusive, and equitable practices. Updated with examples and frameworks for today's leaders, this edition features a mix of theory and practical strategies. In current context of national resistance to issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion, this timely book portrays how real school leaders seek, create, and sustain equitable schools, especially for marginalized students. The author identifies seven "keys" that are crucial for social justice leadership: Key 1: Acquire Broad, Reconceptualized Consciousness/Knowledge/Skill Base Key 2: Possess Core Leadership Traits Key 3: Advance Inclusion, Access, and Opportunity for All Key 4: Improve the Core Learning Context - Both the Teaching and the Curriculum Key 5: Create a Climate of Belonging Key 6: Increase Student Learning Key 7: Sustain Oneself Professionally and Personally"--

Book excerpt: Combining both the theory as well as the practice of the education reform process, this unique breakthrough volume focuses on every aspect of the change process in high school education today. Short- and long-term strategies for each phase of the process-provoking, creating, managing, supporting, and sustaining reform-are covered. Based on the real-life experiences of the author and others, this book recognizes that most high school reform is short-lived. It stresses the ways to create and maintain positive change, making the process a long-lasting, worthwhile mission for the school's leadership and ultimately the students. Short, useful summaries of high school reform provide true-life pictures of what really happens in the midst of changing the way educational institutions operate. These stories cover school-based management, collaborative or shared leadership, school-within-a-school groupings, interdisciplinary instruction, school-based budgeting, new models for professional development, and others. Through these examples, readers can understand how reform strategies work and how to apply and adapt them to their own situations. As an added feature, this book provides the names and locations of schools attempting each reform as well as the names and addresses of school reform networks that readers can contact in their own efforts.

Download or read book The School Leadership Survival Guide written by Jeffrey S. Brooks and published by IAP. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The School Leadership Survival Guide: What to Do When Things Go Wrong, How to Learn from Mistakes, and Why You Should Prepare for the Worst is intended as an uncommon guide for school leaders and a resource they can turn to when confronted with issues they might not normally face in typical practice. The book serves as a bridge between research and day-to-day school leadership, and is intended to help leaders and school communities improve in areas they routinely avoid. In this sense, the book is meant as a “go to” resource for principals, those who train and teach them, and scholars. Although authors recognize the complexity of issues raised in the book, each chapter has a “How to” “What to do” or “Why You Should” ethos in order to give the book a unifying structure and help provide a practical translation of research and theory into practice. Some of the issues addressed include: How to elevate student voice; How to navigate religious conflict in the school and community; How to improve support for LGBTIQ students; Why You Should develop a natural disaster plan; How to work against racism in the school and community; How to practice inclusion in the school; How to make a vision and mission come to life; How to manage relationships with difficult people; What to do when there is racial tension in the community; How to learn the history of your school and community—and why that matters; How to guide and support a leadership team, and; What to do in a school with low trust.
Download or read book School Restructuring Under No Child Left Behind What Works When written by Emily Ayscue Hassel and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide provides users with a step by step approach to restructuring, from organizing a district team and assessing the district's capacity to govern restructuring decisions to conducting a school-by-school analysis and implementing a restructuring plan. The text of the guide is supplemented with templates, checklists, and other practical tools. This guide: (1) reflects the best education and cross-industry research on restructuring; (2) translates that research into practical decision-making tools; (3) includes process steps; and (4) includes realistic consideration of strengths and constraints in a wide variety of school districts. The major actions included in this guide are divided into four steps. These steps are presented in Tool 1 Restructuring Roadmap on page 13. Tool 2 Overall Organizer's Checklist on pages 14-16 provides detailed substeps. In summary, the four steps are as follows: (1) Take Charge of Change--Big Change; (2) Choose the Right Changes; (3) Implement the Plan; and (4) Evaluate, Improve, and Act on Failures. This guide primarily focuses on choosing among the first four options under No Child Left Behind (NCLB), which are relatively drastic and unfamiliar to district leaders. It grows out of four papers in the "What Works When" series that explore what is known about when and under what circumstances these four options improve student learning. Education Leaders' Summaries of these four papers appear at the end of this guide. State takeovers are addressed early, in Step 1, to help districts determine whether they have capacity to manage the restructuring decision process and again at the end of Step 2, when districts may consider state takeovers of some individual schools.

Download or read book The Restructuring Handbook written by Kathryn S. Whitaker and published by Allyn & Bacon. This book was released on 1994 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The authors present ten essential components to successfully restructure schools. They organize these components into three categories: the visionary elements, quality improvement elements, and collaborative elements." "The process of restructuring begins with a total reconceptualization of what schools are for and how they function. During this process, educational leaders must work to create a shared vision of success where student performance improves and the school is viewed as a model of organizational excellence. Once the school vision and mission have been developed and articulated, school leaders facilitate the realignment of curriculum, instruction, and assessment, while reorganizing the school to fit the school's newly defined mission." "After presenting the visionary elements of restructuring, the authors discuss concrete ways to improve school quality. Enhancing the teaching profession, implementing school-centered decision making, expanding the use of technology, and providing excellent service lead to higher standards and improved performance for students, teachers, and administrators." "The collaborative elements of restructuring include increasing parent and community involvement, building collaborative relationships internally and externally, and providing extended services. The authors emphasize the importance of building collaborative relationships within schools and then extending those relationships to the broader school community.".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's school environment educational leaders are mandated to use academic standards to measure the progress of their school's teachers and students. Despite the wealth of material that addresses the topic of academic standards there is little written for those who must lead the effort to put in place an effective standards system. The Leader's Guide to Standards is a landmark book-- written by Douglas Reeves, an expert in academic standards, performance assessment, and accountability-- that shows school principals, assistant principals, teachers, and district-level administrators how to build a comprehensive accountability system for standards-based reform that focuses on leadership skills. Reeves offers practical recommendations for assessing and nurturing teacher performance, setting up balanced assessment and accountability policies, and making the case for standards to the public. In addition, the book addresses the vital role that policymakers from the local school board to state and national leaders play in the successful implementation of educational standards.
Download or read book Handbook on Restructuring and Substantial School Improvement written by Herbert J. Walberg and published by IAP. This book was released on 2007-08-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (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.
