Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because positive changes in a school's capacity to educate all its students are not automatic, the California Department of Education has launched an educational reform model embodied in a comprehensive School Improvement Plan (SIP). The model is based on student-centered educational standards (quality criteria) that direct the four SIP processes of planning, implementation, self-study, and program quality review. These processes were developed to engage the entire school community in improvement activities to benefit all student populations. This four-part document has been designed to help members of a quality review team conduct a review of middle school programs. Part I describes how the quality criteria can be used for planning and implementing school improvement initiatives at a school site. Part II is the guide for conducting a school's self-study. Part III describes program quality review procedures, the application of quality criteria to the school's curriculum and instructional program, and the means for developing suggestions in the report of findings. Part IV details the quality criteria for middle grades, including eight curricular and five schoolwide criteria. Curricular criteria reflect the major themes of state curriculum handbooks, frameworks, and curriculum guides. Schoolwide criteria, emphasizing students in transition, are derived from various school improvement publications and the judgment of middle grades educational practitioners. (MLH)

The book covers new methods you can use to manage change, and includes exercises to help you apply the ideas in your organization. Examples from successful schools demonstrate how Total Quality Management can be applied to every area of education, from classroom management to building maintenance. Quality in Education: An Implementation Handbook teaches you how to make fundamental changes to the way people in your district or school view education and themselves as educators. Using the principles and methods in this book ,you can realize the tremendous benefits of quality - continuous improvement in every educational process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second EditionThis book introduces the reader to the principles of assessment of student learning outcomes in the context of program review, and illustrates how to implement a sustainable outcomes-based assessment program review process based on over 30 case studies of exemplary practice across a range of institutional types.Since publication of the first edition just over a decade ago, the landscape of higher education has been transformed. With the emergence of competency-based education, the questioning of the value of a post-secondary degree, the explosion of neuroscientific research, the emphasis on metacognition, as well as demographic changes in who is going to college and why, new questions are being asked and new methods of collecting data have multiplied. This new edition retains the goals of the first--which is to inform institutional self-reflection of how well the organization is achieving its intended purpose--in a manner that is reflective, adaptive, and collaborative, but which recognizes today’s changed environment.Among the new topics Marilee J. Bresciani Ludvik introduces in this edition is how to appropriately connect outcomes-based program review (OBPR) to performance indicators and predictive analytics and develop meaningful new performance metrics to inform our understanding of the student experience. She also addresses the intersection of OBPR with competency-based assessment, introduces the reader to new concepts and terminology, and demonstrates the implications of neuroscientific research for learning and development and how that influences OBPR design. All the cases, a signature feature of the first edition to illustrate best practice, have been replaced for this edition.Bresciani Ludvik postulates the importance of developing institutions as learning organizations where OBPR is designed collaboratively between student services, academic services, business services professionals, and faculty.Each chapter concludes with key learning points as well as questions for organizational leadership to promote ongoing professional development as institutions implement OBPR practices that are appropriate for their specific contexts.
