School improvement initiatives are often the focus of political
agendas, professional conferences, and publications. While a
plethora of school improvement resources and techniques exist, most
explanations for employing school improvement strategies in
differing contexts are extremely vague at best and non-existent at
worst. Here, author Edward Harris explains and illustrates
strategic, practical approaches for adapting and applying
research-based school improvement strategies. While consideration
is given to the principal's role in the school, the notion of
school leadership is viewed in broader terms and includes teacher
roles as well. The interrelationship of organizational culture and
school leadership is also a key component of this book. One of the
goals is to bridge the gap between the "theory" and "practice" of
school leadership. Harris provides an explanation of Mary Douglas's
typology of grid and group, substantive analytical tools and
procedures to examine one's social context and assess school
culture, and practical examples and suggestions for contextualizing
and adapting school improvement strategies. This book features
in-depth, practical applications and explanations of the following
school improvement strategies: * Increasing student engagement and
motivation * Providing focused, sustained professional development
* Implementing organizational and management practices * Building
links * Monitoring and accelerating improvement This book is useful
for teachers, administrators, and anyone involved in teacher
leadership preparation programs.
