Download or read book Understanding by Design written by Grant P. Wiggins and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2005 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.

School Improvement: Revitalize Your School with Strategic Planning details a practical approach to bringing about positive changes in student achievement. You already have the tools to do the job. All you need is the guidance to put the process in motion and the leadership to carry it out. The strategic planning model detailed in this book involves a six steps process that includes: Identifying the purpose, mission, vision, and goals Collecting and analyzing data Writing the plan Implementing the plan Monitoring and evaluating progress Revising the plan Each phase of the strategic planning process is important, but to achieve the desired improvements, action plans are the crucial element to success. This process emphasizes the implementation of schoolwide action plans as well as detailed classroom action plans that are routinely monitored. By setting the stage with collaboration and communication, this process has the power to produce desired results in any school. This book has been written from the perspective of a building principal for other building principals and school leadership teams who are on the mission of school improvement.

Download or read book The School Improvement Planning Handbook written by Daniel Linden Duke and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing and updating school improvement plans is an annual ritual for virtually all school principals and their school improvement committees. Still, large numbers of schools continue to produce disappointing outcomes. The authors believe that part of the problem is the result of plans that focus on the wrong targets and that rely on ineffective strategies for improvement. To help principals and their school improvement committees develop and implement plans with a greater likelihood of success, the authors offer a step-by-step process for school improvement planning. They go on to pinpoint specific school improvement goals, including raising reading and mathematics achievement, building robust school cultures, addressing the needs of English language learners, improving instruction, and reducing absenteeism and dropouts. For each goal, a variety of objectives and proven strategies is presented along with sample school improvement plans. The book addresses the differences in planning to turn around a low-performing school, planning to sustain improvements over time, and planning to move a good school to a great school.
Download or read book Developing an Effective School Plan written by Lori Van Houten and published by Wested. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing an Effective School Planincludes aChange Manager's Handbook,Facilitation Notes, and a CD-ROM of the activities and interactive tools. Using this resource, schools develop a context-specific improvement plan that concretely addresses four essential questions: Where are we now? Where do we want to go? How will we get there? How will we know when we've arrived? A significant and intentional result of this process is increased school capacity to identify and analyze key data to inform decisions -- about what goes into the plan, how the plan is carried out, and how success is measured. Recognizing that all schools start the improvement planning process with different types and degrees of capacity, the guide includes a number of self-assessment tools to help a school planning team identify which activities are most useful for its schools and where any specialized expertise (in data analysis, for example) might be needed. One district user has characterized these materials in a way that capture's WestEd's goals in developing them: "Very approachable...they allow for flexibility as well as 'going deep' -- on a variety of topics." WestEd is in a unique position to offer these carefully scaffolded school improvement activities and tools. Over the years, WestEd staff have been called on to work with literally hundreds of schools to help them improve. Organizational wisdom about how to do this deepened and grew to such a degree that we decided to collect it in this school improvement package. The inquiry, planning, and implementation process embodied here represents the distillation and thoughtful organization of what WestEd staff have learned first-hand from their work with diverse schools across the country. The tools and activities themselves have been culled from this same work, representing the most effective on-site processes for guiding individual schools' improvement efforts.
Download or read book Bold Plans for School Restructuring written by Samuel C. Stringfield and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two powerful forces are driving American's demands for better schools -- one longstanding force is idealistic and the other is "new" and economic. The current group of young Americans is in danger of being the first full generation to consistently make less money and enjoy fewer worldly rewards than their parents. The intersection of idealistic and pragmatic forces has produced an era of calls for reform in U.S. education that is unparalleled -- calls that have resulted in the creation of the New American Schools Development Corporation (NASDC). The chapters in this book highlight the path traveled by NASDC -- a private, non-profit corporation charged with creating new, "break the mold" school designs for the 21st century -- and describes the first three years' accomplishments of nine NASDC development teams.
