This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past decade in the United States, elementary principals have faced increased scrutiny. Student performance regardless of student experiences, district funding practices, or societal factors have been the responsibility of the principal. In a similar fashion, teachers have been ridiculed and scorned. As a result, principals are left trying to create positive school culture, evaluate teacher performance, and guide and support professional development initiatives. In the meantime, teachers in many ways do not see themselves as professionals, do not feel that they have autonomy in their classrooms, and as a result may not have the same joy that they once had. The goal of this guide is to assist principals and school leaders to cultivate a school culture where the principal is positioned as the literacy leader. This guide will support principals to address, define, and create a literacy culture. Most importantly, provide insight to support principals in their quest to becoming primary individual responsible for bringing joy to teaching and learning as part of building school culture.
Download or read book For the Love of Learning written by Kristin Phillips and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-08-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illuminating and refreshing memoir about a year in the life of an elementary school principal, outlining the joys and challenges--for teachers and students--of education today. Outside of home, children spend more time at school than anywhere, and teachers play an important role in their young lives. Teachers inspire, nudge, support, and help students through many difficulties, both academic and developmental. And yet we almost never hear about what's really happening in school. Kristin Phillips taught grade school for years before becoming a principal, helping to guide not just students but also staff through better learning. Here, she takes us through a school year, from the excitement of fall, through the long days of winter, and into the renewed energy that comes with spring. Through her eyes we experience the increasingly complex education system: children with disruptive behaviours, teachers attempting new practices (some more successfully than others), and even parents who need a little help parenting. As she walks us through this year, we're introduced to the many problems that she faced, but also those of the students and teachers she worked with. What's the best way to address bullying in the classroom and school yard? What do you do with a five-year-old who won't stop cursing in class? And importantly, how do we ensure all students are learning? And these are just the concerns Phillips faced during school hours. At home, she reckoned with her own family's problems. Recently divorced, Phillips shares the ups and many downs of parenting three teenagers, one of whom at times suffers from debilitating mental health issues. With the realities of Covid-19, the importance of schools and their vital role for children--and all of society--has never been clearer. Phillips takes us into the classrooms, hallways, and principal's office, revealing the innovations happening in our schools and also the areas where education can do better. With honesty and compassion, Phillips gives a human face to the very real challenges educators work to overcome, one year and one student at a time.

Download or read book Understanding the Role of Principal Autonomy in School Success written by Andrew Sanko and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of the school leader is changing, as increasing regulatory obligations in the form of federal, state, and local mandates impact a principal's ability to make autonomous decisions. Autonomy, or the ability to self-direct and make independent decisions, is a leadership aspect that fosters communal relationships; autonomy for school leaders allows them to address and be responsive to their school's unique needs. Although public education functions within a variety of frameworks, the primary responsibility for school success lies with the school principal. No matter the level of students, or the particulars of a school's demographics, Pennsylvania school principals are required to comply with federal, state, and local data collecting and reporting. Data-driven decisions fuel educational policymaking at the state, local, and federal levels. Today's principals are not only charged with collecting data but also responsible for cultivating the highest performance from their students and staff. A principal's success - the standards by which they are deemed effective by the Department of Education - is directly connected to the success of the students in their schools. Thus, there is a dynamic pull-and-tug between the need for a principal to be responsive to the school culture and community while simultaneously creating an environment of optimal performance in high-stakes testing. This research is designed to shed light on the extent to which school principals feel local, state, and federal mandates affect their autonomy and ability to provide the best experience for children. With building level data comprising half of the measure of a principal's success, this study hopes to understand the relationship between the regulatory requirements, school success, and if principal autonomy factors into that relationship.

Download or read book Education Reimagined written by Ira David Socol and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-01-23 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking risks is how humans learn. It is how humans have always learned. A person sees a problem, takes in the available information, and tries a solution. It is in that process - whether the goal is understanding a Shakespeare play, figuring out an algorithm, or writing a theory of history - that engaged learners make breakthroughs, be those breakthroughs individual, group, or societal. In this book, three experienced practitioners describe how to re-imagine teaching spaces - conventional schools - as learning spaces, spaces where risk is encouraged, celebrated, and actually taught in every area of endeavor: from how, where, or if to sit, to how to find the right pathway to learning. In bringing the stories of a central office Innovation director together with an elementary teacher and administrator and a veteran secondary teacher leader, Education Reimagined: A Space for Risk demonstrates how fundamental change is possible in any school

This textbook gives a sociological analysis of education by incorporating a diverse set of theoretical approaches. The authors include practical applications and current educational issues to discuss the structure and processes that make education systems work as well as the role sociologists play in both understanding and bring about change. In addition to up-to-date examples and research, the eighth edition presents three chapters on inequality in educational access and experiences, where class, race and ethnicity, and gender are presented as separate (though intersecting) vectors of educational inequality. Each chapter combines qualitative and quantitative approaches and relevant theory; classics and emerging research; and micro- and macro-level perspectives.
