Download or read book Factors That Contribute to Successful Schools A Caribbean Perspective written by Eulalie Daley Semper and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores various factors that contribute to successful schools in the Caribbean. Based on my own personal and professional experience, I define successful schools as those schools where high-quality teaching takes place in a supportive environment. In these schools, spiritual leaders seek to work with educational stakeholders to develop and facilitate a culture of excellence. Therefore, I have decided to examine teacher development, community involvement, spiritual leadership, servant leadership, and an established culture of success as additional factors that can contribute to successful schools in the Antiguan context. However, this study can yield valuable information that can be used to assess educational practices within different types of schools regionally and globally since one of its main aims is to explore stakeholders’ perceptions on the contributing factors to schools’ academic success. In this book, educational practitioners, policy makers, and institutional leaders will find principles of success that will affect principal leadership, classroom learning, and student achievement.

Download or read book World Development Report 2018 written by World Bank Group and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, the World Bank’s World Development Report (WDR) features a topic of central importance to global development. The 2018 WDR—LEARNING to Realize Education’s Promise—is the first ever devoted entirely to education. And the time is right: education has long been critical to human welfare, but it is even more so in a time of rapid economic and social change. The best way to equip children and youth for the future is to make their learning the center of all efforts to promote education. The 2018 WDR explores four main themes: First, education’s promise: education is a powerful instrument for eradicating poverty and promoting shared prosperity, but fulfilling its potential requires better policies—both within and outside the education system. Second, the need to shine a light on learning: despite gains in access to education, recent learning assessments reveal that many young people around the world, especially those who are poor or marginalized, are leaving school unequipped with even the foundational skills they need for life. At the same time, internationally comparable learning assessments show that skills in many middle-income countries lag far behind what those countries aspire to. And too often these shortcomings are hidden—so as a first step to tackling this learning crisis, it is essential to shine a light on it by assessing student learning better. Third, how to make schools work for all learners: research on areas such as brain science, pedagogical innovations, and school management has identified interventions that promote learning by ensuring that learners are prepared, teachers are both skilled and motivated, and other inputs support the teacher-learner relationship. Fourth, how to make systems work for learning: achieving learning throughout an education system requires more than just scaling up effective interventions. Countries must also overcome technical and political barriers by deploying salient metrics for mobilizing actors and tracking progress, building coalitions for learning, and taking an adaptive approach to reform.
