Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since it was first invented, Americans have been trying to re-design the American high school. One of the latest approaches funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is to find inventive high school designs that work well in one location and replicate them in other locations. The authors of this book followed a design team from Big Picture Learning as it worked to do exactly this, recording the challenges it faced, and the strategies it employed. Their accessible and entertaining account of Big Pictures work is laced with stories about scaling up by other school design teams, and in other enterprises beyond high school. Based on careful research, the book is both a practical guide to a new dimension of school reform, and also an interesting read for anyone interested in school change.

Developing a school-community culture to support the standards movement is the focus of chapter 3. Chapter 4 directly addresses the issue of classroom implementation. Strategies for creating a context for instruction and assessment are outlined in chapter 5. Chapter 6 presents an array of academic supports that high schools can implement to ensure students' opportunity to learn, institutionalize equity, and maximize student achievement. Chapter 7 presents ways to increase the bonds between students and the school. Chapter 8 presents the components of a family and community support system that helps all students master the standards. Chapter 9 focuses on the special needs of English language learners. Chapter 10 reviews the types of data schools can collect, the need for data disaggregation, approaches to data analysis, and strategies for using findings to continually improve schools. An appendix contains a reflection tool to determine a school's progress in implanting a standards-based system. A glossary as well as an extensive list of selected references are also included.

Download or read book The Language Demands of School written by Alison L. Bailey and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Language Demands of School is an edited volume describing an extensive empirical base for academic English testing, instruction and professional development. The chapters comprise empirical research by Bailey and colleagues at the National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, Student Testing (CRESST) at UCLA, and invited contributions by practitioners in the fields of language policy, testing and instruction. The central focus of the chapters is the research conducted by CRESST over the last two years in an attempt to document the academic English language demands placed on school-age learners of English. The three additional chapters give the perspectives of a policy-maker at the state level, test developers, and practitioners. The Language Demands of School fills a gap in the current literature by addressing the kind(s) of English required of K-12 English Learner students from an evidence-based perspective. This is timely given the broader context of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, which has prompted school systems to identify English language proficiency tests to meet the federal mandate. One of the problems that has surfaced in the search for English language tests for K-12 English Learner students is the inadequacy of existing research on the development of the academic English language skills that all students—both English Learner and native English-speaking—need to be successful in the school setting. The Language Demands of School is devoted to exploring this topic and to presenting research that illuminates both the questions and the answers.
