Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new perspective on the management of schools by bringing together the knowledge and understanding of school effectiveness and community education. Tony Townsend argues that the core activity of the school, to provide a learning environment for children, should be supplemented by educational activities that service the needs of the community as a whole. He offers a model for the development of the `core-plus' school, including practical ideas for school leaders to build strategies for improving school programme possiblities and processes to encourage greater community involvement.
Download or read book School Improvement written by Zijian Li and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School improvement is at the centre of educational reform and is perceived by many as a key to social and economic advance. It contributes to determining the personal fulfilment and career paths of individual students and consequently engages the interest of parents and community members. It is an ever-present commitment of teachers and managers in schools. Policy makers and politicians at international, national and local levels devote much time and effort to their search for better schools. School improvement has also attracted the attention of researchers and scholars in many countries. They have been drawn from various disciplines and fields within the educational studies community, including psychology, sociology, history, evaluation, and studies in curriculum and assessment. There is now an established body of findings from studies conducted in many contexts. This book brings together leading experts drawn from many countries and several continents, reflecting diverse approaches to educational policy and practice, evaluation and research. Variations between countries and between local communities within countries are highlighted. The possibilities and difficulties inherent in transferring evidence from one educational system, at a number of levels, to another are clearly discussed. What emerges from the cross-national and cross-cultural evidence are several significant threads, currently under active investigation, including: school structure and management, classroom organisation, school leadership, teacher training and staff development, curriculum and assessment, community involvement, lifelong learning and special provision for students with special educational needs. "School Improvement: International Perspectives" is written for national educational policy makers, teachers and student teachers, governing bodies and parents from various levels of schooling, and university researchers and scholars.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School effectiveness is a challenge to stakeholders in education. Although several studies have examined this issue, adequate attention has not been paid to School-Based Management Committee (SBMC) strategies (advocacy, resource mobilization, resource control, communication and instruction monitoring) and community participation as predictors of school effectiveness. The objectives of the study were to determine: (i) the effectiveness of the SBMC strategies; (ii) the level of community participation; (iii) the level of basic school effectiveness; (iv) the challenges affecting SBMC; (v) the factors inhibiting community participation; (vi) the relationship between SBMC strategies and basic school effectiveness; (vii) the relationship between community participation and basic school effectiveness; and (iii) the relationship among SBMC strategies, community participation and basic school effectiveness.The study used a descriptive research design of correlation type with a population of 21,230 basic schools and their SBMCs. A sample of 370 basic schools was selected from four states using random, stratified and systematic sampling procedures. Validated School-Based Management Committee Strategies Questionnaire (SBMCSQ), Community Participation Questionnaire (CPQ), Impact of School-Based Management Committee Questionnaire (ISBMCQ), and Students' Conduct Observation Inventory (SCOI) with reliability indices of 0.81, 0.79, 0.84, and 0.74 respectively, were used to collect data. Percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the demographic data and answer the research questions, while correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to test the research hypotheses. The findings of the study were: (i) the use of SBMC strategies was highly effective (mean score = 92.64); (ii) the level of community participation was high (mean score = 4.33); (iii) the level of basic school effectiveness was moderate (mean score of 42.86); (iv) the challenges affecting SBMC included the refusal of the members to attend meetings, lack of proper communication and lack of members' commitment; (v) the factors inhibiting community participation as perceived by the respondents included lack of interest, ignorance, community attitude to education, and dependence on government;(vi) there was a significant relationship between SBMC strategies and basic school effectiveness (r=0.036, p

Download or read book Parent and Community Involvement in Education written by Barry Rutherford and published by Department of Education Office of Educational. This book was released on 1997 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focused on parent, family, and community involvement in middle-grade education. It addressed three reform themes in the area of middle-grade school/family and community partnerships: (1) What are the larger and local environments within which parent, family, and community involvement operate? How do these contextual factors influence those programs? (2) What are the roles that parents, families, and community and business members assume in the education of their children? How are those roles facilitated? What key elements are specific to these areas? and (3) What are the effects of promising programs on parents, students, schools, and the community? How are these effects assessed or determined? Findings show that challenges can create opportunities for family involvement; strong relationships form the core of family and community involvement; responsibilities and decision making need to be shared among all participants; sustained family and community involvement depends on active advocacy by leaders; and active partnerships require a system of support to sustain them. Implications for policymakers include a focus on success for all students as the core of policy for education reform, whereby school, family, and community partnerships are supported. Appendix A contains references, and Appendix B contains a bibliography of current products. (RT)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2001 American Educational Studies Association Critics' Choice Award Much has been made of the gap between public schools and the communities that they serve. This book shows how a group of teachers, parents, and community people in "Ed City" formed an educational reform group—the Project for Educational Democracy—to increase access to decision making in their school system, especially for members of the community who had previously been excluded. A combination of ethnographic research and theoretical reflection, this book addresses concepts of community, authority, representation, participation, and democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School effectiveness and school improvement have different origins: School effectiveness is more directed to finding out "what works" in education and "why"; school improvement is practice and policy oriented and intended to change education in the desired direction. However, in their orientation to outcomes, input, processes, and context in education, they also have much in common. In the theoretical part, different orientations have been analysed and combined in a model for effective school improvement. Based on this analysis, an evaluation framework was developed for the analysis of the case studies of school improvement projects in the participating countries. The theoretical model and the results of the analyses of the case studies were combined in a framework of effective school improvement.

Download or read book Community Participation and Empowerment in Primary Education written by Chauncey Hodson and published by Socialy Press. This book was released on 2017-06 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely acknowledged that community participation can play a significant role in promoting primary education. Community involvement in education is important for many reasons. It aids in the ability to identify local education issues and to develop strategies to resolve barriers that impede access and retention and compromise quality. Civic participation in the life of local schools also helps to ensure the relevance of the curriculum and its delivery. It can also be an effective component in monitoring the process and outcomes of education at multiple levels. In resource-constrained settings community participation can also serve as an effective means of advocating for and mobilising the resources needed to move towards a high-quality public system of education throughout the country. It also has the potential to increase awareness levels and to bring about improvements in health and living conditions. This has resulted in many efforts to bring community and school closer together as also to involve community members in the development of primary education programmes. Community Participation and Empowerment in Primary Education covers a range of important issues including how community participation works in an environment characterized by deep-rooted socio-economic divisions; the equitable distribution of participation; identifying and defining the community; and ensuring the genuine representation of those who are traditionally excluded from decision-making in rural areas. It is aimed to explore how key stakeholders, eg:, teachers, parents and government officials, define community participation. The studies further intended to determine factors that aide or impede participation and to recommend ways to enhance the amount and quality of participation. This book will be of valuable for all those involved with education, social work and the sociology of education. It will be of equal value to activists, administrators and NGOs.

Download or read book Pitfalls of Participatory Programs written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Participation of beneficiaries in the monitoring of public services is increasingly seen as a key to improving their efficiency. In India, the current government flagship program on universal primary education organizes both locally elected leaders and parents of children enrolled in public schools into committees and gives these groups powers over resource allocation, and monitoring and management of school performance. However, in a baseline survey we found that people were not aware of the existence of these committees and their potential for improving education. This paper evaluates three different interventions to encourage beneficiaries' participation through these committees: providing information, training community members in a new testing tool, and training and organizing volunteers to hold remedial reading camps for illiterate children. We find that these interventions had no impact on community involvement in public schools, and no impact on teacher effort or learning outcomes in those schools. However, we do find that the intervention that trained volunteers to teach children to read had a large impact on activity outside public schools -- local youths volunteered to be trained to teach, and children who attended these camps substantially improved their reading skills. These results suggest that citizens face substantial constraints in participating to improve the public education system, even when they care about education and are willing to do something to improve it.
