Download or read book Educational Leadership written by Christa Boske and published by IAP. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational Leadership: Building Bridges Among Ideas, Schools, and Nations breaks new ground by connecting many ideas to educational leadership that have traditionally been discussed as part of leaders’ contexts by connecting them and showing how international issues can unite scholars and educators in action. The book draws on the authors’ extensive experiences in U.S. public schools, research in the field of educational leadership, and programmatic practices to prepare school leaders to commit themselves to social justice. The book provides a forum for this important work in the ongoing conversation about equity and excellence in education, and the role(s) leadership can assume in building bridges among ideas, people, and educational organizations. Chapters center on creating spaces for vigorous dialogue. Authors call upon scholars and practitioners to reconsider their intent to empower those who live on the margins. The dynamic approaches discussed throughout the book urge school leaders, teachers, school community members, and those who prepare administrators to look within and build bridges between themselves and those they serve.
Download or read book Building Parent Engagement in Schools written by Larry Ferlazzo and published by Linworth. This book was released on 2009-09-23 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a report on the positive impact of parental involvement on their child's academics and on the school at large. Building Parent Engagement in Schools is an introduction to educators, particularly in lower-income and urban schools, who want to promote increased parental engagement in both the classroom and at home—an effort required by provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. It is both an authoritative review of research that confirms the positive impact of parental involvement on student achievement and a guide for implementing proven strategies for increasing that involvement. With Building Parent Engagement in Schools, educators can start to develop a hybrid culture between home and school, so that school can serve as a cultural bridge for the students. Filled with the voices of real educators, students, and parents, the book documents a number of parent-involved efforts to improve low-income communities, gain greater resources for schools, and improve academic achievement. Coverage includes details of real initiatives in action, including programs for home visits, innovative uses of technology, joint enterprises like school/community gardens, and community organization efforts.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Building Bridges: A Case Study of A High School-Community College Partnership by Lisa Hernandez University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Reynaldo Macias, Co-Chair Professor Diane Durkin, Co-Chair This dissertation contributed to research on partnerships by conducting a case study of a high school-community college partnership. By providing narratives of stakeholders' collaboration, this dissertation shed light on the process of creating and implementing a high school/community college partnership in addition to tracking the early outcomes of this partnership's third year of implementation. This study focused on a high school/community college partnership that addressed community college remediation by introducing a new 12th grade English curriculum titled expository reading and writing course (ERWC). Through the collaborative efforts of instructors, counselors, and administrators, this partnership identified and implemented ways to help students place into and complete college level English. Studies have shown that partnerships can significantly improve student outcomes (Bathgate, Colvin, & Silva, 2011; Domina & Ruzek, 2012; Lawson, 2013; Wang & Hodara, 2014). Model partnerships serve to inform educators and legislators about what makes a partnership effective (Bathgate et al., 2011; Domina & Ruzek, 2012; Lawson, 2013; Wang & Hodara, 2014). This K-16 partnership resembles the Santa Ana model. A case study of this partnership found that it provided an effective long-term strategy for improving high school completion rates and college success and yielded measurable improvements for students (Domina & Ruzek, 2012). Other studies have found that P-20 partnerships improve curriculum alignment and facilitate the transition of students from high school to college (Bathgate et al., 2011; Wang & Hodara, 2014). This partnership targeted remedial education since it is a significant problem in community colleges (The Century Foundation, 2013; Complete College America, 2011). According to Venezia and Kirst (2005), California suffers from "disconnected educational systems" (p. 283): a problem that can be ameliorated by creating pathways. Through pathways, high schools and community colleges can better inform students, parents, instructors, and administrators of each institution's respective mission; the greater the communication and collaboration, the greater the possibility of improved outcomes (Venezia & Kirst, 2005). Understanding how partnerships reduce remediation would allow community colleges to replicate similar partnerships throughout the United States. Research supports inter-institutional studies for reducing institutions' silo tendencies, which make it hard for students to transition from one institution to another (Venezia & Kirst, 2005). Inter-institutional partnerships, such as P-16 partnerships or Cradle To Career Community Partnerships, offer a promising new institutional design for a more integrated, equitable educational system (Bathgate et al., 2011; Domina & Ruzek, 2012; Lawson, 2013). This partnership implemented a variety of strategies to improve high school graduation rates and college-readiness, strategies that focused on staff development, implementation of a new English curriculum, and increasing student support services. All of these strategies were based on the mutual effort of partnership members. Combined, these strategies aimed to increase high school graduation, increase enrollment at the local community college, and assure that students are not only entering college level English but also, because they are college ready, accelerating their progress in community college.
Download or read book Family School Links written by Alan Booth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the presentations and discussions from a national symposium on family-school links held at the Pennsylvania State University, this volume brings together psychologists, sociologists, educators, and policymakers studying the bidirectional effects between schools and families. This topic -- the links between families and schools, and how these affect children's educational achievement -- encompasses a host of questions, each of key social and educational significance. * How far does parental involvement in schools affect children's experiences and achievement at school? * What explains the great differences between schools, families, and communities in the extent of such involvement? * Are these differences a matter of school practices, or do they reflect much broader social and cultural divisions? * What is the nature of the impact schools have on children and their families? * How can family-school-partnerships be fostered in a way that helps children? The chapter authors consider these questions and related issues, present different perspectives, highlight various aspects of the issues, and suggest widely differing answers. This volume's goal is to provide the reader with current information on what is known about family-school-community links, and to provoke new ways of thinking about these links and their implications for children's education and well-being.
