Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governing boards of organizations have come under scrutiny in recent decades for financial problems, leadership scandals, and a variety of other uncomfortable reasons. Trustees might have prevented challenges and scandals if the appropriate board oversight were in place including the right board structures, practices, culture, governance, and communication processes. Colleges, and university boards in particular, operate in a unique space given their organizations' mission to educate the next generation of students, conduct groundbreaking research that promotes the development of new knowledge, and engage in civic activities among other endeavors. These organizations are held in high esteem because of the importance of their mission, despite reported poor decisions and scandals within the industry. Governing boards vary greatly in size, structure, culture, and effectiveness of operation. Their members make decisions about the direction of the institution, including changes in leadership, mission, purpose, or strategy. However, these decisions remain a mystery to most scholars and, certainly, to the general public who are the consumers of their educational services. With global disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of governing boards and their decision-making has become even more critical to institutions' long-term sustainability. This study utilized a qualitative multiple case study approach to examine how two different types of higher education governing boards (private and public) determine when to make decisions about significant changes within the organization. To develop an understanding of the operations of a governing board in relation to the change process and leadership change, in-depth interviews were conducted with governing board members from two different higher education institutions in the northeastern United States. The communication practices between the governing board and the president in particular were explored as a component of the decision-making process, in light of shifts in the educational landscape due to the pandemic. Through an analysis of governing boards' decision-making process, as well as their structure, culture, governance practices, performance, and relationship to the president of the organization, this study has identified factors that contribute to governing boards' decisions to make significant change.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decision making process in an urban school district was investigated using a combination of the decision analysis and reputational methods. Two series of interviews were conducted with administrative staff, school board members, and educational organization members to ascertain the influentials int he district decision making process, which formal and informal groups impinged upon the decision making process in this urban school district, and what important issues had confronted the district within the past three years. Results of the study identified 13 persons as influential, a very small percentage of the total administrative staff in this system. Most of the influentials were men who had worked in this system for over 15 years. Twenty-eight organizations were identified as having impact on decision making in the district. The group interviewed indicated certain organizations as having more importance than did the influentials when they were questioned about relative significance of the different organizations. Informal groups did not appear to exert much influence outside the official organization, but did within the bureaucratic hierarchy. Thirty-eight issues were identified as having had impact ont he system during the past three years. Fourteen of those decisions were indicated by three or more persons as being particularly significant. The three reasons most often mentioned were investigated in depth and disclosed influential involvement that varied dependent upon the issue itself, scope of the decision, and involvement of the school board and outside community groups.

This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a context where schools are held more and more accountable for the education they provide, data-based decision making has become increasingly important. This book brings together scholars from several countries to examine data-based decision making. Data-based decision making in this book refers to making decisions based on a broad range of evidence, such as scores on students’ assessments, classroom observations etc. This book supports policy-makers, people working with schools, researchers and school leaders and teachers in the use of data, by bringing together the current research conducted on data use across multiple countries into a single volume. Some of these studies are ‘best practice’ studies, where effective data use has led to improvements in student learning. Others provide insight into challenges in both policy and practice environments. Each of them draws on research and literature in the field.
