This book was released on 1997 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a resource for educators in any setting who are trying to implement school support teams. New legislation requires states to establish systems of intensive and sustained support for schools that receive Title I funds. School support teams are to become the primary component of these systems. These support teams, external groups of teachers, pupil services personnel, and other people with expertise in school reform, will help high-poverty schools as they plan and develop their schoolwide programs. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the schoolwide approach to change and the role of school support teams. A case study, drawing on experience in 20 education service centers in Texas, illustrates the process in one school. Chapter 2 provides suggestions on how to organize school support teams and how to select members. In Chapter 3, there is detailed information on how to design professional development and training programs for school support team members. Sample agendas for professional development programs are presented. Chapter 4 provides additional clarification for questions educators might have about school support teams. Seventeen appendixes contain information about the law, sample training materials, transparency masters, organizational forms, and examples of instruments and procedures. (Contains 2 figures and 43 references.) (SLD)

Download or read book Bringing School to Life written by Sarah K. Anderson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Place-based education is on the rise. Tired of “teaching to the test,” educators are looking for authentic ways to connect their curriculum to real life. The place-based approach brings students into their communities to learn necessary content and skills by working to meet the needs of local agencies and organizations. Students are more engaged because they know they are doing real work, teachers are reinvigorated by creating exciting learning opportunities, and the school takes on a more active role in the community. At the heart of this process is the place itself: the land, the history, and the culture. Bringing School to Life: Place-Based Education across the Curriculum by Sarah Anderson offers insights into how to build a program across the K-8 grades. Anderson addresses key elements such as mapping, local history, citizen science, integrated curricula, and more. Additionally, Anderson suggests strategies for building community partnerships and implementation for primary grades. This book goes beyond theory to give concrete examples and advice in how to make place-based education a real educational option in any school.
