This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational Change and the Secondary School Music Curriculum in Aotearoa New Zealand provides a fascinating case study in educational change. The music curriculum has been greatly affected by deep cultural and economic forces such as the growth of popular music's importance in young people's lives, by demands for inclusive and multicultural education, and not least by advances in technology that promise to invigorate all aspects of teaching and learning. This book brings together the work of a number of leading music education scholars and teachers from Aotearoa/New Zealand to both explore these issues and to share case studies of practice: both the positive changes and the unintended consequences. Each chapter focuses on a current issue in music education and the final chapter contains responses from a number of practitioners to the issues raised by the authors, drawing together the practical and theoretical dimensions of the book.

This book was released on 2010-04-16 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Balancing Change and Tradition in Global Education Reform, Rotberg brings together examples of current education reforms in sixteen countries, written by 'insiders'. This book goes beyond myths and stereotypes and describes the difficult trade-offs countries make as they attempt to implement reforms in the context of societal and global change. In some countries, reforms are a response to major political or economic shifts; in others, they are motivated by large upsurges in immigration and increased student diversity. Irrespective of the reasons for education reform, all countries face decisions about resource allocation, equality of educational opportunity across diverse populations, access to higher education, student testing and tracking, teacher accountability, school choice, and innovation. The essays in this volume reveal: _

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The No Child Left Behind Legislation by the federal government led to another round of emphasis on public schools, resulting in a focus on "school renewal" or, as often termed, "school reform". The National Association of Secondary School Principals in the 1960s initiated a concept for school renewal called "The Model Schools Project" (1969-1974). The MSP was the culmination of much of the seminal thinking on school renewal of that era. The project was directed by Dr. J. Lloyd Trump, NASSP secretary for research and development, and Dr. William D. Georgiades, professor of Education at the University of Southern California. After the MSP formally ended, Georgiades continued to provide leadership for school renewal as president of a follow-up consortium of schools and districts, the Learning Environments Consortium International. In Changing the School Learning Environment, Jack Frymier and Ronald Joekel take a look at the key concepts of the Model Schools Project and what has transpired during the past 30 plus years. Has it survived as initially conceived, evolved into something meaningful for contemporary schools, or failed as so many other innovations have done? A survey of best educational practices stemming from the Model Schools Project that promote school renewal and how they are being utilized today are also presented and discussed. Should appeal to educators and secondary school administrators.

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.

Book excerpt: `This is a zippy read arising out of the international project "effective leadership in a time of change", which grapples with the nature and practice of leadership (as opposed to management or administration) in schools′ - Times Educational Supplement Who really runs the school - head teachers or governors? What do pupils think of their leaders and should they have a bigger role in school leadership? Is the United Kingdom obsessed with discipline and `strong leadership′ as others suggest? Is New Public Management an insidious undermining of what is important and valuable in the UK educational system? The answers to these and other questions present surprises and challenges to the way things are seen in the UK.
