Improving school leadership [electronic resource] : the promise of cohesive leadership systems / Catherine H. Augustine [and others].

Summary Improving the nation's public schools is one of the highest priorities of federal, state, and local government in America. Recent research has shown that the quality of the principal is, among school-based factors, second only to the quality of the teacher in contributing to what students learn in the classroom. New programs to develop school leaders who can exercise vigilance over instruction and support effective teaching practices are not likely to succeed, however, if they are inconsistent with other state and district policies affecting school leadership. The Wallace Foundation, which focuses its grantmaking in education primarily on school leadership, has posited that well-coordinated policies and initiatives to develop leadership standards, provide high-quality training, and improve the conditions that affect principals' work will increase their ability to improve instruction in their schools. This study documents the actions taken by the Foundation's grantees to create a more cohesive set of policies and initiatives to improve instructional leadership in schools; describes how states and districts have worked together to forge such policies and initiatives around school leadership; and examines the hypothesis that more-cohesive systems do in fact improve school leadership. The study found that it is possible to build more-cohesive leadership systems and that such efforts appear to be a promising approach to developing school leaders engaged in improving instruction. Although the study did not find evidence that the full underlying theory behind this initiative is sound, it did find a correlation between improved conditions for principals and their engagement in instructional practices.

From standards to success : a guide for school leaders / Mark R. O'Shea.

2024-05-14T05:19:53Z

by O'Shea, Mark R., 1946-
Call Number 379.158 22
Publication Date 2005
Summary Annotation In this era of accountability and high-stakes testing, school leaders must find more sophisticated ways to help all students succeed. But how can districts make adequate yearly progress without a coherent system for addressing state standards? In From Standards to Success, education professor Mark R.O Shea introduces the Standards Achievement Planning Cycle (SAPC), a comprehensive protocol for meeting the standards. To illustrate his multi-layered approach, O Shea takes readers to a fictional school as it prepares to install the SAPC. We meet the superintendent, who organizes the district for curriculum reform; the principal, who supervises standards-based instruction; and the teachers, who collaboratively plan lessons and evaluate their students work. From teacher observation to student assessment, O Shea offers innovative strategies to help school leaders * identify and analyze which standards are most important * select appropriate curriculum materials and resources * provide instructional planning time for teachers * create a benchmark-testing program * design effective professional development Checklists at the end of each chapter highlight best practices, and sample lessons show how to plan curriculum that enables students to meet state standards. The result is a thorough and sensible guide to realizing the promise of standards-based education. Mark R.O Shea is a professor of education at California State University Monterey Bay. He is the founder and executive director of the Institute for the Achievement of Academic Standards.

Leadership capacity for lasting school improvement / Linda Lambert.

2024-05-14T05:19:53Z

by Lambert, Linda, 1939-
Call Number 371.2 22
Publication Date 2003
Summary Following the publication of Building Leadership Capacity in Schools in 1998, Linda Lambert visited educators around the world to see how they had applied the ideas presented in her book to their schools and districts. Though everyone she spoke with agreed on the importance of high leadership capacity, they also had many questions about how best to achieve this goal. Leadership Capacity for Lasting School Improvement is the author's attempt to answer those questions. The book begins by outlining the five major prerequisites for high leadership capacity: . Skillful participation in the work of leadership . Inquiry-based use of data to inform decisions and practice . Broad involvement and collective responsibility for student learning . Reflective practice that leads to innovation . High or steadily improving student achievement In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of steps schools should take to meet these criteria, the author quotes at length from her discussions with educators to provide a view of leadership enhancement techniques in practice. Finally, the handy rubrics and surveys at the end of the book can be used by teachers and administrators alike to personally assess their leadership skills. By combining the author's own insights with real-life examples and practical exercises, Leadership Capacity for Lasting School Improvement offers invaluable guidance to educators at all stages of development. Linda Lambert is founder of the Center for Educational Leadership at California State University, Hayward, where she is professor emeritus. She is coauthor of The Constructivist Leader (1995) and Who Will Save Our Schools: Teachers as Constructivist Leaders (1997) and author of Building Leadership Capacity in Schools (1998).
