Nongraded Elementary School (Revised Edition)
Author: John I. GoodladPublisher: Teachers College Press
ISBN: 0807776408
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Since its first publication in 1959, The Nongraded Elementary School has become a classic in school reform literature. This reissue includes a retrospective introduction on what happened to nongraded alternatives in the aftermath of “Sputnik” educational reforms, what is occurring amid the current resurgence of school reform, and what the prospects are for the future. The value of this book lies in its still contemporary theoretical underpinnings for the nongraded school. The book’s treatment of the issue of promotion versus non-promotion is of particular interest in the current debate on school reform.
Snapshots of School Leadership in the 21st Century

Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
In the book, we provide snapshots describing this critically important time in our nation when federal educational policy implementation has been at a level previously unheard of in the United States. We present a chapter on the design and method of Voices 3, eight chapters on analyses of the focus-group discussions, and two invited chapters that provide a review and critique of our work. The chapters will be excellent resources for professors of educational leadership as we respond to the changing environment and improve preparation programs for superintendents and principals. We also see the book as a good resource for practitioners who desire to take the pulse of their colleagues in the field to see common concerns across various issues. Finally, it will be useful to policy makers as they consider the impact of their decisions on the implementation phases in districts and schools. With this book, you are receiving access to the 27 focus-group transcripts on which the chapters are based. Instructors of qualitative research may find these data useful in their classes, e.g., for students to practice different types of data analysis and coding.

ISBN: 9780761945888
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
The goal of this book is to begin the process of making a contribution to the identification and development of better-prepared and stronger educational leaders. It focuses on the following: leadership skills and their linkages to the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) standards and the National Policy Board for Educational Administration's domains and dimensions; hands-on learning that bridges theory and practice; a combination of best practices from teaching, instruction, and staff development; and directions for developing personal action plans for continuing professional development. It is designed as a cooperative-learning tool. The lessons and activities require a partner who provides specific performance feedback and who serves as a development partner and coach. It is organized into eight sections: (1) "Background and Fundamentals"; (2) "Analyzing a Case Study"; (3) "Developing School Improvement Plans"; (4) "Office Deskwork"; (5) "Making Oral Presentations"; (6) "Providing Leadership in Groups"; (7) "Conducting Structured Interviews"; and (8) "Planning for Personal Development." An extensive resources section contains examples of lists for analyzing case studies, samples of various forms and documentation, ISLLC standards, and a summary analysis of performance aspects related to the program skill areas. A subject index is also included. (WFA).
